Learn how to change a flat tire using the Mercedes-Benz GL450 spare tire kit. Make sure you are in a safe area that is level and free of traffic before attempting to fix a flat tire. This video shows you where the spare tire, jack and jack kit is located in your GL450 how to assemble the components of the spare tile tool kit, how to replace the flat tire with your spare tire and safety precautions to take when using your jack. Most Mercedes-Benz jack kits include the jack, a jack handle and a lug nut wrench. The video also shows how to put the 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450 back in its original location.

Which way does the spare tire go on? The GL450 spare tire should always be mounted with the valve stem (the thing you put air into) pointing out. If you cannot see the valve stem, the spare tire on GL450 is mounted backwards. In addition, if your GL450 has a donut spare (a small spare tire), then you should mount it on one of the rear wheels when you are in a safe area to do so. What is the maximimum speed for a spare tire? If your GL450 has a donut spare, the maximum speed is likely 50 miles per hour. Some trucks have full-size spare tires, which would have the same speed limits as the other tires. How many miles can be driven on a spare tire? If it is a donut spare tire, you should not drive more than 50 miles on a donut spare tire.

While following the instructions provided in your GL450's owners manual and in this video will help minimize the risk of injury. The best way to avoid injury is to never get under your vehicle while it is jacked up. Remember also, that even if your car is jacked up properly, another car could hit it and knock it over; therefore, be sure to give careful consideration to your environment before raising your car.

Mercedes-Benz offers a Roadside Assistance program that gives customers the opportunity to have a Mercedes-Benz representative travel to your location and help you with whatever roadside needs you may require. If you do not have the Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance program, however, it is beneficial to know how to change a flat tire on your own. Changing a flat on a Mercedes-Benz is easy and straightforward and following these instructions will make sure you and your car on back on the road in no time.

What you will need

  • Car Jack
  • 19mm Lug Nut Wrench
  • Mercedes Spare Tire

Instructions

  1. Park your car in a flat, dry place so you can jack the car up easier. Make sure your car is parked on the shoulder of the road in a safe and isolated spot to avoid oncoming traffic as much as possible.
  2. Move the shifter into “Park,” pull the parking hand brake and turn on your hazard lights.
  3. Open the trunk of the car. Lift up the trunk floor and you will find a Mercedes-Benz spare tire, lug wrench, and a car jack. 
  4. Using your lug wrench, loosen the lug nuts on the flat tire. Be sure not to remove the lug nut completely. Loosen them approximately one turn.
  5. Locate the jacking points on your Mercedes. If you have trouble finding them, the Mercedes-Benz manual will have guided pictures.
  6. Raise the Mercedes-Benz until the flat tire hovers roughly three (3) inches off the ground.
  7. Assuming all lug nuts are loosened as described in step 4, use the lug wrench to remove all five lug nuts completely.
  8. Pull the tire straight out and carefully remove it. Gently kick the rubber part of the tire to get it off the wheel hub.
  9. Place the spare tire on the wheel hub. Align the lug nuts holes with the corresponding holes. In your spare tools kit, you may have a wheel stud guide like this one. Thread it into one of the lug nut holes.  Now push the spare tire in and make sure it is seated properly against the brake rotor,
  10. Put the lug nuts on. Screw them in as tightly as you can so the spare is firmly attached to the car’s wheel assembly.
  11. Lower the Mercedes-Benz to the ground by cranking the jack counter-clockwise. Remove the jack from underneath the car.
  12. Once the car is lowered to the ground, tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern: tighten the top lug nut first and then its opposing lug at the bottom. It’s important to tighten the lug nuts in a star-like pattern to ensure the tire is secured tight and straight.
  13. Drive you Mercedes for a few minutes and recheck the lug nuts. Make sure the lug nuts are securely fastened.

Can’t get Mercedes tire off

If the tire is not coming off, there are some quick fixes to remedy the situation.

  1. Try spraying WD-40 on the lug nuts and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Use a rubber mallet and lightly hitting the inside part of the tire, not the rim, and break up the corrosion and built-up rust. Be sure to stay away from a metal mallet/hammer to dent or damage your car.

Can’t get Mercedes lug nuts loose

One problem Mercedes-Benz owners may face is that they can’t get the lug nuts loose. Over time the lug nuts may corrode or simply refuse to come off. The lug nut wrench that Mercedes installs on these cars is inadequate to loosen these lug nuts and in can bend easily. Here is a lug nut wrench that got bent when we were trying to change a Mercedes-Benz tire.

To avoid this problem, consider using an aftermarket lug nut wrench that will not break and is extendable. For example, any Telescoping Lug Nut Wrench would be an excellent choice. It has four different socket sizes that you can use on any car. Most importantly can be extended which makes getting Mercedes lug nuts loose a breeze.

I honestly don't care about speed and performance. simply wide Tires looks better and makes the overall car look awesome that's all to it for me cosmetic. and yet for example i have 2007 Toyota Camry XLE v6.. Toyota or the Japanese for some reason use these specs on tires 215 R 16. i want to change that to at least 225 R 16. most websites say that wont work on my car !!! the more confusing part of this my car actually takes up to 19 inch wheel 235 tire width so why not not take my custom size that i want to use?!! 225/16

Vai a guidare una motozappa, forse ti riesce meglio, non sai nemmeno tenere le mani al volante. Le cambiate, poi, ciao core!! Resta stupenda solo la vettura, qualora ci fosse bisogno di ricordarlo.
