Use a jack or vehicle lift to elevate the vehicle then fully remove the wheel lug nuts and the wheel.

To Replace the Wheels

• Use a jack or lift to elevate the vehicle, then place the tire onto the wheel hub.
• Put the lug nuts on the wheel and tighten by hand, then using a cross sequence pattern, tighten them with a torque until all lug nuts are firmly secure and tight.
• Remove the jack or lower the vehicle from the lift.
• In the event of a flat tire, remove the wheel and inflate the tire to the maximum recommended pressure for the tire. Immerse the tire in water if you cannot easily locate the source of the leak, mark with chalk and then plug the tire according to the manufacturer’s specific instructions.
