How to Remove a Toyota Lug Nut

How to Remove a Toyota Lug Nut

Whether removing the tire to change a flat, replace brake pads or work on suspension components, the first step is to remove the lugs nuts from your Toyota. The process is not difficult but it does require some planning so you at least have the right tool for the job. While most Toyota vehicles include a lug wrench when the car is manufactured, you still may not have one in the vehicle. The time to check is not when you are on the side of the road, so be sure to check your car or truck sooner than later.

Difficulty:
Easy

Instructions

things you'll need:

  • Lug wrench
  • Jack
    • 1

      Park your car or truck on level ground. A driveway or parking lot is better than the side of an interstate but sometimes you do not have an option. Try to park on flat ground if possible.

    • 2

      Retrieve the lug wrench from the storage area in your Toyota; it may be in the trunk, behind the seat in a truck or under the cargo area in SUV models.

    • 3

      Place the lug wrench on the lug nut. Check the fit, making sure there is no play or movement between the wrench and the nut.

    • 4

      Turn the wrench counterclockwise, loosening the lug nut from the wheel stud. If you are removing a single lug nut, continue turning counterclockwise until the lug nut is off the wheel stud. If you are removing all of the lug nuts, you will need to use a jack and lift the tire off the ground.
