Take the tire off rim? or simply remove wheel from car?


If the latter the tools needed are:

1) Jack
2) Lug wrench
3) If applicable, wheel lock socket

a) with car on ground, in gear, and ebrake on, break loose all 5 lug bolts per wheel
b) once "loosened", raise car using the jack, or appropriate lift tool.. blah blah safety blah blah
c) continue removing wheel bolts.
d) be prepared after last bolt is removed to "catch" wheel. Shouldn't happen, but it may. The wheel is centered on a ring. May need to wrap hands around wheel to pull off of the car.
