Hi, my name is Nate McCullough on behalf of Expert Village. In these clips we are going to talk about the proper way to remove and replace a front wheel drive vehicle's ball joint. In this clip, we are going to talk about the proper way to break loose your vehicle's lug nuts. As you can see here, I have my tire iron and our lug nuts are located right here. They are what holds the tire on. Just going to take my tire iron and give them a jerk, work around. It doesn't matter when you are disassembling any particular order. Okay, once you've got your lug nuts broke loose, it is okay to go ahead and jack up the vehicle.
