1 Answers
Here are the specific steps to replace the front wheel with a spare tire on a Borgward BX7: 1. First, park the car on a level and safe surface, activate the hazard lights, and engage the handbrake. After ensuring safety, place a triangular warning sign at an appropriate distance behind the vehicle. 2. Retrieve the spare tire, tire wrench, and jack. 3. Initially, loosen the wheel bolts in a crisscross pattern. 4. Then, position the jack under the chassis support and slowly raise the vehicle until the tire is slightly off the ground. Proceed to remove the bolts one by one in a diagonal sequence. 5. Further adjust the jack to lift the vehicle until the tire is completely off the ground, ensuring there's enough space to install the properly inflated spare tire. Remove the tire to be replaced and mount the spare tire. 6. After installing the tire, ensure the bolts are correctly positioned and tighten them in a diagonal pattern, but do not fully tighten them yet. Once the jack is lowered and the wheel is back on the ground, fully tighten the bolts.
