你所需要的
-
-
Start with your vehicle's wheels flat on level ground.
-
Grab your trusty lug wrench.
-
Place it on one of your lug bolts. Note I say bolt, not lug nut. This will be explained later.
-
Yank on the lug wrench, it may take a lot of force to break the lug bolt loose!
-
If you need some extra force use your leg, or even stand on the lug wrench being careful to keep your balance. This should break it free.
-
-
-
Repeat the previous step on all five lug bolts, on each of the wheels you plan to remove. This loosens them, but do not remove them yet.
-
Now, you'll jack up whichever end(s) of the vehicle you plan to work on.
-
If you need guidance on this see the jacking technique guide.

-
Re-install is basically the opposite of removal. However, as you tighten up the lug nuts, there are a few tips:
-
Tighten them in a "star" patter, rather than in a circular pattern. This ensure more even tightening.
-
Lower the car once they are snug so the tires are on the ground.
-
Finish tightening them with a torque wrench to ensure they are on tight enough. Your owner's manual should specify the tightness required.
-
Take a test drive. Then re-check the torque on all the lugs you removed.

How dumb does not advise if it is right or left hand thread Bolt.
Very informative but forgot the most important detail. Is this a left hand or right hand thread?
