🔧 Repair Overview

- Adhesive strips or glue
- Clean workspace with good lighting
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1:
Check that the vehicle is in park, and on a flat surface to ensure it does not try to roll.
Step 2:
Locate the jack point underneath the front and rear passenger side of the vehicle. (The driver's side of the vehicle will be identical.)
Step 3:
Use the breaker bar to loosen the lugs half a rotation (180 degrees).
Step 4:
Use the jack to lift the vehicle and slide the jack stand underneath.
Make sure you leave enough room to put the jack stand underneath the vehicle.
Step 5:
Remove the lugs and pull the wheel off straight as possible to prevent scratching.
If you have power tools this would be the time to use them to speed up the process even just the socket (As shown above).
Keep the lugs together to prevent losing them.
Step 6:
Line up the new wheel and make sure its flush to the hub and hand tightens the lugs.
Give the wheel a shake and make sure nothing is loose.
Once you have the lugs turned by hand a couple times power tools or a socket would expedite the process
Step 7:
Set up the torque wrench as shown. For this vehicle it is 90 Ft lbs.
Step 8:
Remove the jack stand and lower the vehicle until the wheel is just touching the ground (This is to use the weight of vehicle to keep the wheel from spinning while torquing the lugs).
Step 9:
Use the torque wrench to tighten the lugs to 90 ft-lbs in a star pattern.
Step 10:
Remove the jack and repeat steps 2-9 for the other three wheels.
Once you've replaced all four wheels on the vehicle, go back and torque the lugs one last time to ensure they have not loosened while working on the vehicle.
