  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Disconnect the battery if working on electrical components.
2. Tire Inspection and Replacement
  • Remove the wheels using a socket set.
  • Inspect tire tread depth and sidewalls for damage.
  • Replace any tires that show excessive wear or damage.
  • Reinstall wheels and torque to manufacturer specifications (typically around 80-100 ft-lbs).
3. Wheel Bearing Replacement (if needed)
  • Lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands.
  • Remove the wheel and brake components for access.
  • Use a bearing puller to remove the old wheel bearing.
