craig j Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 changed mine yesterday very easy to do was done and cleaned up within 25 mins. as said there is a how to. tip, the nut will be difficult to undo so if you find you cant undo it, expose the nut pop your center cap off the wheel, replace the wheel and put the car back on the ground, place your scoket through the middle of the wheel and jump on it with your might. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
