How to Change a Wheel

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Wheel

Video tutorial

In this video, learn how to change a wheel in case of necessity: the system is the same for all cars, with a few differences in the location of various accessories (and for this reason, it's a good idea to check the owner's manual). Remember to keep the vehicle well secured, so engage the handbrake and put the car in gear! Usually, there is a specific tool for removing the wheel covers, and if there is a locking bolt, remember that there is a special key to remove it. Start by loosening the bolts with the wheel on the ground (perhaps using your legs for leverage).

The jack must be placed on the designated lifting point, which should be identified before placing it, then extend the jack and use the lifting lever. Remove the wheel and replace it with the spare.

Replace the bolts, tightening them gradually, lower the car, and remember that the spare has a speed limit of 80 mph.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
