OK heres a quick guide to changing a wheel
Tools Required
Jack preferable Hydraulic one
Socket most common sizes 17,19,21. Better than the wheel wrench in the boot
Torque Wrench and setting ( should be in the handbook )
Remove access to wheel nuts if required
Loosen, DON’T remove the wheel nuts
Jack the car up using the jacking points, reinforced sections
Place the spare wheel under the sill or use an axle stand
NEVER CLIMB UNDER A CAR SUPPORTED ONLY BY A JACK, IF ACCESS UNDER THE CAR IS REQUIRED SUPPORT IT USING AXLE STANDS
Remove the nuts carefully
Remove the wheel
If you have any fit some copperslip to the hub, or the back of the wheel. This will help to remove the wheels at a later date
Line up the new wheel and fit the nuts loosely by hand
Tighten up in this order until the wheel turns
5 Stud
4Stud
Lower the car back to the ground and switch to the torque wrench
Set the torque wrench to the specified amount
Tighten the nuts in the same order as above until the wrench clicks or shows specified amount ( this will depend on what wrench your using
note : I tightened up in the opposite order to what I showed above. Done in the order 1,5,4,3,2 numbers were added to the pic after id finished .
as long as you do opposite wheel bolts
