They are held on buy the cover wheel nut looking things. Just turn them with the lug wrench.

Thanks for the response. If I am facing the wheel cover, do I turn clockwise or anticlockwise? There is the tire valve sticking out, I guess turn a little bit should be OK? I don't have a lug wrench. Any idea of the size and about how much to buy one? I would appreciate if there is any photo of the lug wrench, thanks.

I can't remember the size.

Simple rule to remember. Lefty loosy, righty tighty. In most cases that will get you off and on, but not all. You don't have a spare tire wrench?

Jack wrench? Is it the wrench to jack up the car? I have it. Apparently, I did not even think of its uses as such. If so, I begin to see the brighter side of Dodge designs.

You be nice. It's possible that he hasn't had to. AAA is a wonderful thing.[sm=smiley20.gif]

Fantastic guys here!

I had owned mostly Japanese cars over the past 20 years. I had and have no problem in changing tires from Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans ... Yes, I seldom change tires on my previously owned. I am driving a Sienna and I change tires twice a year.

This is my 1st North American car and I asked for help. Reading the above sarcastic posts, I took my Neon to my local Canadian Tire and watched and had it done for me. Now I know how to get the wheel covers off.

This is my last post here. So long boys and have a good day!
