Wheel Cover: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Raise and support the vehicle so that tire and wheel assembly clears ground level. (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
.
CAUTION: When removing the bolt-on wheel cover, do not attempt to pry the wheel cover off the wheel. It is held on by the wheel mounting nuts.
- Remove the five wheel mounting (lug) nuts (3) from the wheel studs. While removing the nuts, hold the wheel cover (2) in place so it doesn't fall off when the last nut is removed.
- Remove the wheel cover (2) using care not to let the tire and wheel assembly (1) fall off the vehicle.
