Hey guys
I just bought a used AU3, but now I have a puncture in my front left tyre. How do I remove the spare wheel from its slot so I can replace it and drive my car to the mechanic and get it fixed? I can't seem to find any tool that would fit into the socket to remove the spare wheel. Oh and by the way, I'm 19 and this is my first car. Not much experience with cars at all. |

I take it youve found the spare wheel ok, if you look in the very middle there is a round part you can turn around. Unscrew it and it will come out, thus letting you lift the wheel out. The jack is under the wheel.

But that's exactly the problem. I can't find any tool that would fit into the round thing in the middle of the wheel. I've dug out all my spanners..etc. But they wouldn't fit, so I'm wondering if I need some sort of special tool to turn it. |

It has 'ears' inside the hub so you can turn it by hand.. If it is really tight get someone to push down on the wheel while you try and turn it
