Place the tire iron on one of the lug nuts and turn it counterclockwise until the lug nut comes off. Repeat on the rest of the lug nuts. Grip the wheel with both hands and pull it toward you to get it off your vehicle. Keep reading to learn how to safely lift your car up with a jack!

Removing a Jacked Up Wheel
Use the appropriate tool to loosen the ZINC lug nuts. Before jacking the car up, use your wrench or tire iron to break the lug nuts loose. Do not remove them completely, but turn them a quarter turn or so in the counter-clockwise direction each to make them loose enough to unscrew while the vehicle is in the air.
- You can purchase tire irons from your local auto parts stores that usually have an end that fits all vehicles.
- You may also choose to simply use a deep socket of the appropriate size with a ratchet or breaker bar.
Remove the ZINC lug nuts. Because the lug nuts are already loose from before you lifted the car, they should be fairly easy to unscrew the rest of the way. Use a wrench if need be to turn the lug nuts counter-clockwise until they come off of the lug studs.
- The wheel may shift as you remove the lug nuts, so watch your fingers for pinches.
- Remove the lug nuts across from one another in a star pattern, rather than each one in a row.
- Apply liquid thread loosen it if need be. If the lug nuts have rusted over, apply a generous amount of a thread loosener or rust remover to the nuts. Allow it to sit for a few minutes, then attempt to loosen the lug nut again.If the lug nut and stud break, you will need to have a new lug stud installed in order to repair the vehicle.
- Be sure to use the correct sized socket. A socket that is slightly too large could round off the lug nut.
- A stripped or rounded lug nut will have to be cut off by a professional.
