How do you get the wheels off a 93 mercury marquis?

Answer 1

At home it is best to do this one wheel at a time. I assume you mean just the tire and the rim, and not the rotor itself. It is very simple. You need a jack, and a tire iron. Put the jack underneath the car and raise it until there is just enough pressure to start raising the tire, but the car's weight is still compressing it down to the ground. Now start loosening the lug nuts with the tire iron. Once they are all loosened to the point where you could take them off by hand, raise the car up so that the tire is off the ground and remove the wheel. Putting the wheel back on, you need to first hand-tighten each lug just enough to hold it in place, and then lower the car back down. tighten the lugs tightly with the iron in a diagnal pattern. Start on one lug, then cross the tire to the next one, and so on and so forth, until they are all as tight as can be. If you need to remove the rotor you need to get the brake housing (caliper) off as well. if the wheel seems bonded to the rotor, and it will not come off no matter how you tug on it, even with the lugs off, try lowering the car back onto the wheel (with the lugs not even hand-tightened, but still there to make sure the tire can't fall off) and turning the steering wheel....the pressure should jar the wheel loose. Be careful, though, and once it moves get out of your car and raise the jack againto take the weight off immediately. Then you can just take it off by hand. enjoy!
