I on that I've worked with r18 now for
15 years as a patrolman today I'm going
to talk you through going through a
wheel change before we get started make
sure the car is in a safe location and
away from all of the traffic firstly set
up your warning triangle a safe distance
away from the rear of the vehicle don't
attempt to change your wheel unless
you've got a safe space to do so make
sure there's no passengers inside the
vehicle or any waiting luggage in the
rear the first step is to make sure
you've got all the tools and equipment
to carry out the wheel change you will
need a fully inflated spare wheel a
wheel brace with the correct socket the
locking wheel nut key a high-visibility
jacket a jack and a warning triangle
before jacking up the vehicle it's
always worth looting the wheel nuts off
now as doing this when the vehicles on
the jack could cause the jack to
dislodge to get access to the wheel nuts
you may have to remove the wheel bolt
covers or the wheel center cap first the
wheel bolts may be tight so the first
turn of the wheel brace may require bit
extra force turn the wrench to the left
or anti-clockwise one of the wheel bolts
may be a locking wheel nut key this will
be usually found inside the vehicle and
will be needed to remove that bolt the
next step is to find the jacking point
on the vehicle it can usually be found
in the instruction manual locate the
jack on the jacking point and raise the
height and T it touches the floor remove
the jacket of correct position before
lifting the vehicle start increasing the
jack height you need to bear in mind
that you need enough distance to put the
inflated wheel back on remove the wheel
bolts by hand and bending your knees
lift the wheel off the hub now align the
four the inflated wheel onto the hub and
insert one of the wheel bolts put all
the rest of the wheel bolts in by hand
and then once are all in position
tighten down gently with the wheel brace
you may need the locking wheel nut key
for this you can now allow the jack to
come down until the Toyo touches the
floor slowly lower the vehicle jack so
it can be removed
from underneath the vehicle then you can
carry out a final Titan of all the wheel
bolts now all the wheel bolts have been
tightened by hand
refit all trims and covers we would also
advise that you get the wheel bolts
checked correctly at a dealer you can
now refit the jack and the flat tire
back into the boot okay so that's the
wheel change now complete now some space
saver wheels will have a speed limit on
them so bear this in mind also get a
tire change carried out as soon as
possible
