How to remove the wheel of the Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Wheel

In the following guide addressed to all of you who own a Volkswagen Golf, we will discover together how to quickly and safely remove the wheel. First of all, make sure you have a 17mm key, a small hexagonal key, and preferably also a hammer. Turn off the car if it is still on and go outside. Position yourself in front of the wheel to be removed and use the hexagonal key to remove all the small rubber caps in the central area. Finally, use the 17mm key to unscrew the bolts holding the wheel in place and remove it completely.
