Place the hydraulic jack under the metal frame of the car near the tire that you want to change.

Pump the jack handle evenly until the tire raises only an inch or two off of the ground. Be sure not to lay underneath the vehicle until the new wheel is properly installed.

Lug nuts hold the wheel in place. Use the 13/16" socket with a breaker bar to remove the lug nuts by turning the nuts counterclockwise.

Grab the wheel with both hands and pull the wheel straight off and away from the car.

Place a new wheel on the hub, and then fix it in place by tightening the lug nuts clockwise. In other words, skip every other nut as you go around the wheel.

I have found it to be better to loosen the wheel nuts before you jack up the car. Also, when replacing the wheel nuts, these must be torqued to the proper value. This requires the use of a torque wrench. Consult your manual for the proper torque on the wheel nuts.
