Changing a tire on a Mercedes Benz can be simple if you have the right tools and knowledge.
Here are the steps to change a tire on your Mercedes Benz:
- Gather your tools: A spare tire, lug wrench, and car jack.
- Park in a safe location: Flat and level surface away from traffic with engine off and parking brake applied.
- Loosen lug nuts: Use your lug wrench to loosen each lug nut counterclockwise, leaving them loose but not removed.
- Jack up the car: Place the jack under the Mercedes Benz’s jack point and crank it until the tire is about six inches off the ground. Follow manufacturer instructions for your model.
- Remove the tire: Use a lug wrench to completely remove each lug nut from the flat tire, pull the tire straight off the wheel hub, and set it aside.
- Put on the spare tire: Place the spare tire onto the wheel hub, secure with lug nuts by hand, and lower the car back to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
- Tighten lug nuts: Use a lug wrench to tighten each lug nut in a star pattern until all are tightened.
