Difficulty: Beginner · About 45 min · Gmc Terrain
Change a flat tire on a 2010–2017 GMC Terrain with the factory jack kit, chocking and parking the vehicle securely and tightening the wheel fasteners to the owner's-manual specification.
Tools you will need
- Factory Jack
- Factory Lug Wrench
- Factory Jack Hook
- Wheel Chock
Parts and supplies
- Vehicle spare tire
Steps
- Retrieve the spare and jack kit
Park on level ground, set the parking brake, and turn on hazard lights. Lift the cargo floor, remove the jack, wrench, and hook, then loosen the spare-tire retainer and take out the spare.
- Secure the vehicle and loosen the lugs
Chock a wheel diagonally opposite the flat. Extend the factory lug wrench and loosen the wheel nuts while the tire remains on the ground.
- Lift the vehicle and remove the flat
Assemble the jack and hook, place the jack at the specified pinch-weld point near the flat, and raise the vehicle until the tire clears the ground. Remove the lug nuts and wheel while keeping clear of the supported vehicle.
- Install the spare and lower the Terrain
Place the spare onto the hub and hand-start each lug nut. Snug the nuts, lower the vehicle fully, remove the jack, then tighten the lugs in a star pattern to the owner's-manual specification.
- Stow the equipment and inspect the spare
Return the jack, hook, and wrench to their retainers, secure the flat tire in the cargo area, and close the hatch. Check spare pressure and speed rating before continuing the trip.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
