How to Remove the Spare Tire of a Kia K5?

[JosephineLee]

Open the trunk lid, lift up the trunk mat, first take out the onboard tools, then use your hand to forcefully rotate the tire-fixing screw counterclockwise to remove it, and then lift out the spare tire. Below are the steps for replacing the spare tire: 1. First, use the lug wrench to loosen all the nuts on the wheel hub, then place the jack on the side of the tire that needs to be replaced. Turn the jack handle to lift the vehicle until the tire is off the ground. 2. Then remove all the nuts from the wheel hub and take off the tire. After removal, place half of the damaged tire under the vehicle, leaving part of it outside (this is to ensure safety during the tire change. If the jack slips or other accidents cause the vehicle to suddenly drop, this measure can ensure safety and minimize vehicle damage). 3. Install the spare tire and tighten the nuts in a diagonal pattern. Tighten all the nuts diagonally with force, then remove the tire from under the vehicle and lower the jack to take it out. Then tighten the nuts forcefully until they can't be turned anymore to ensure driving safety. 4. Place the replaced tire back into the spare tire position in the trunk and tighten the fixing screw clockwise, or simply place it directly in the trunk.
