Start by securing you vehicle in place. I put two sets of bricks behind both rear tires, and moved them as I moved around the vehicle.

Grab your tools, we had just did a tire rotation a month ago so I knew we didn't need a deadblow or rubber mallet to break the rim free.

Start by breaking the lugs free, I tend to do this 1 wheel or section at a time using the breaker bar

Find a good jacking point, I like to be more rear the wheel.

Then use the socket wrench to loosen.

Remove wheel.

Put wheel back on, we got some of these killer hub caps :) lol

Tighten with socket wrench, then lower vehicle with jack after removing stand. Proceed to torque to speck.

Here are some pics of the rear, its the same process.
