DIY Tyre Replacement

Model: Mazda 3 MK 2, BL - Years 2009-2013
Part: Tires

Without stating the obvious, tyres must be maintained and replaced throughout their lifespan; however, it may happen that any foreign object can damage them irreparably, forcing you to perform a DIY replacement. Fortunately, most manufacturers provide a spare wheel; if not, it is advisable to bring one yourself. In this example, with the wheel included in the boot, we will see how to proceed with its replacement. Straighten the steering wheel to make the operation easier; open the boot, under the plastic you will find the spare wheel, the special jack to lift the vehicle, and the wheel removal tool. Take them out. Position the jack under the lip, fitting it into the designated hole; raise it manually. Using the tool mentioned, remove the wheel bolts (a fair amount of force may be needed initially), ensuring to lift the vehicle further before completely removing the wheel. After that, fit the spare wheel aligning it with the bolt holes and reattach the bolts without fully tightening them. Lower the vehicle slightly and then proceed to tighten.
