To loosen tight car wheel bolts, start by ensuring the vehicle is securely on a flat surface and use a lug wrench. Apply a penetrating oil to the bolts if they are rusted or corroded, allowing it to soak for a few minutes. Use a breaker bar or a longer wrench for additional leverage, turning the bolts counterclockwise. If necessary, tap the wrench gently with a hammer to help break the bond.

Well, if you want to change the tyre then i would suggest taking it to your local garage so they can fit a new one and balance the wheel. Its not really something that can be done at home without the correct machine. However, if you just want to change the wheel (eg. put the spare on), then you need to find the jack and wheel brace in you car. Usually located with spare wheel, in a compartment in the boot or in the engine bay. Next, using the wheel brace, loosen the bolts/stud on the wheel you want to remove. Once done, find the jacking point by that wheel and raise the car up using the jack. Then finsh unscrewing the bolts/studs from the wheel. Remove the wheel, it may require a sharp knock to free it. Then put the new wheel on and do the bolts/studs up finger tight. Lower the car to the floor, and then finally tighten all bolts/studs up with the wheel brace. Job done.

How to change a tire on 2003 Toyota Corolla?
Same way you'd do it on any car. Get the car to a flat area. set the handbrake. If it's a manual, leave it in gear. With the car firmly on the ground, loosen the bolts slightly. Get the jack out, find the spot along the running board. Jack the car up and loosen the bolts the rest of the way. Get the wheel off. Lift new wheel in place, do the bolts up firmly in a crosswise pattern. Lower car to ground. Do the bolts up tight, again in a crosswise pattern. Done!You may have to remove a hubcap to get at the bolts. For alloy wheels, there may be a central spacer that you need to keep track of.Unless properly maintained, rust may cause the the rim to seize on the center of the hub. In mild cases a good sideways jerk or kick is all that is needed(make sure the car is well supported).In more severe cases it might be necessary to undo the bolts just a little, and then drive the car through a few sharp corners to break the rim free.Do note that there are considerable risks to the above, and you may be better off having a garage sorting it out.
