Changing a Car Wheel

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Wheel

How do you remove a car wheel? First, gather all the wheel removal tools from the boot: jack, wheel bolt keys. Position the jack under the vehicle's jacking point, which is under the stiffest part of the chassis to avoid bending the metal due to excess weight. Lift the car slightly and loosen the wheel bolts. Raise the car with the jack lever, unscrew the bolts, and pull the wheel off the hub. Fit the spare wheel, then screw in the bolts. Lower the car once the wheel replacement is complete.
