How to Remove the Spare Tire on a Buick GL8?
1 Answers
The spare tire of the Buick GL8 is located underneath the vehicle, in front of the rear bumper, specifically below the trunk. The tools required for removing the spare tire are stored in the rear compartment of the vehicle. Attach the folding wrench to the extension rod, then insert the chisel-shaped end of the rod diagonally through the hole in the rear bumper, placing the lifting shaft into this hole. Turn the folding wrench counterclockwise until the spare tire lowers to the ground, and continue turning until the spare tire loosens and can be removed. Spare tires on the market are categorized by size into full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. Specific details are as follows: 1. Full-size spare tire: A full-size spare tire is identical to the vehicle's regular tires and wheels, allowing for normal use after replacement. The advantage is seamless replacement between tires, but it is slightly more expensive and heavier. 2. Non-full-size spare tire: Non-full-size spare tires typically use steel wheels and are smaller than the vehicle's regular tires and wheels. The advantages are lower cost and lighter weight, but they are not suitable for prolonged use.
