5. Twist the luggage bowl securing the spare tire counterclockwise and remove.
6. Pull out the spare tire.
7. Unscrew the wheel bolts with the wheel wrench from the vehicle tool kit. Just loosen the bolts, do not remove them.

Your owner's manual will have a diagram of the take-up brackets if you have trouble locating them.
