Replacing Front Brake Hoses: Install Tires & Wheels

Video Transcript

"Okay, in this segment we're going to cover installing the tires and wheels. We've done all the brake work. All we have left to do is put back on the tires on both sides. Get the lug nuts on, get 'em snugged down. Lower the vehicle, and we'll be done with the project. So we'll just go back through a reverse procedure. Line 'em up. I'm just going to hold the tire on there, and wheel assembly with my knee, while I get the lug nuts started. And I've got a good application of anti-seize on there. Anytime that I'll remove 'em, and there are not a good coat, I'll put a...apply a coat of anti-seize. And it keeps the threads moving freely and prevents rust build-up on 'em. And I'll need the star wrench real quick. And I think that I left that on the other side. While I'm over here, I'll just go ahead and put this wheel on. And I'm just using the same procedure. Sliding it on, get the lug nuts on, get 'em down finger tight. Once you get the lug nuts finger tight, then we're just going to give 'em a quick snap with the star wrench, until we get 'em good and snug. We can't really tighten 'em up until we get the vehicle on the ground. And we just want to make sure all four of 'em are on there and they're tightened down evenly. And just go in a criss-crossing pattern to snug it up, just to make sure the wheel's sitting in there straight. And once you've all four lug nuts snugged down on both sides, then we can proceed to our next segment. Now I've got all four of the lug nuts snugged down. That'll conclude getting the wheels and tires on. Remember, the lug nuts aren't tight at this point. We have to wait until we lower the vehicle down to the ground before we can tighten them up, they'll just spin off if we attempt to do it now. So watch our next segment on lowering the vehicle."
