How do you change the front wheel of a car?
With the car on level ground, in gear and parking brake applied, loosen the wheel nuts a half turn. Get the jack out, make sure to find the right spot for the jack to engage the car. Make sure that the ground is firm and flat where the jack will stand.
If you have them, put chock blocks ahead and behind the wheel diagonally from the one you're going to remove.
Jack the car up until the wheel clears the ground.
Undo the wheel nuts the rest of the way.
Pull the wheel off.
Put new wheel on.
Tighten the wheel nuts enought to seat the rim on the hub properly. Lower the car back on to the ground. Do the wheel nuts up real tight in a cross-wise pattern.
Done!
