Changing wheels
Remove the wheel nuts and change the
tire.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it aside.
Roll the spare wheel into position and align
the holes in the wheel with the bolts. Then lift
up the wheel and get at least the top bolt
started through its hole. Wiggle the tire and
press it back over the other bolts.
Before putting on wheels, remove any
corrosion on the mounting surfaces with a
wire brush or such. Installation of wheels
without good metal-to-metal contact at the
mounting surface can cause wheel nuts to
loosen and eventually cause a wheel to come
off while driving.
Re-installing all wheel nuts
Reinstall the wheel nuts with the tapered end
inward and tighten them as much as you can
by hand. Push on tire back and see if you can
tighten them more.
