1) Jack wheel up (often you´ll use an air powered jack and just take the air from the old tyre). At the same time it will deflate the tyre (necessary for safety reasons)
2) remove hub cap
3) Remove safety bolt on axle nut
4) remove axle nut
5) remove axle washer (if installed, the A300-600 doesn´t use them)
6) put on axle thread protector
7) set parking brake
8) depending on size of wheel either slide old wheel off by hand or use wheel trolley
9) clean axle and axle spacer of old grease and inspect axle and brake unit for damage
10) put a little high temperature grease on bearing surfaces of axle and spacer (we use Grease
28)
11) Reinstall axle spacer
12) slide on new wheel
13) Install axle washer and loosely install axle nut
14) release parking brake
15) while one person turns the wheel, the other person pretorques the axle nut (to set the
bearings)
16) release axle nut
17) while one person turns the wheel torque axle nut to final torque
18) Install and safety safety bolt.
19) install hub cap
20) Check tyre pressure
21) dejack plane
22) do paperwork and sign off in log book.

Yes, most gliders do have landing gear. A common arrangement is a single wheel in the fuselage just forward of the center of weight, with a tiny tail wheel and roller skate wheels at the tips of the wings. The center wheel is mostly enclosed by the fuselage, making the aircraft appear from a distance that it does not have landing gear.
no nose wheel to damage No nose wheel to cause drag.
The Airbus A320 has a total of 6 tyres - 4 for the main undercarriage landing gear (consisting of two 2 wheel bogies) and 2 for the nose landing gear.
3 sets of two tires. Two rear landing gear and one front landing gear.
The nose wheel of the Airbus A380 weighs approximately 1,600 pounds (about 725 kilograms). This weight is part of the aircraft's overall landing gear system, which is designed to support the massive weight of the A380 during takeoff and landing. The landing gear, including the nose wheel, is engineered to withstand significant forces and stresses during operations.
Attached to a gear are many tires. The tires are used the land the aeroplane. That is why it is called landing gear.
