I bought the Dupli-Color Red Caliper Paint Kit for my b5, and it should be arriving in the mail soon.

However, since I am only 17, I have no clue how to put on or take off a wheel. Are all the supplies I need in the tool box in my trunk, or do I need to purchase anything besides the Caliper Paint Kit?

I plan to use this not only to paint my calipers, but as a learning experience incase I need to change a tire in the future, and I do not want to mess this up.

Thanks for any input!

 

there is that small tire iron in the back for the lugs, and there should be a lil tool to take the plastic caps off the lug nuts. Use a big long screwdriver and put it in the tire iron so its longer...it gives u more torque and makes it easier to take off and tighten the lug nuts. A helpful tool when putting ur wheels back on is that plastic thing with threads on the end to help u keep the holes aligned as u put the lugs back in. post again or u can PM me with any problems, confusion, or questions. And i would leave it for the weekend...depending on how many jack stands u have it may take 1day or it could take 2days

 

everything you need should be in your trunk. i reccomend a you buy a couple of jack stands though.
read this and you should be good

first thing you must do is get a jack...two jack stands to do 2 wheels at a time. Make sure you loosen the bolts of the wheels before you jack up...use the lug wrench in your trunk. Jack up the car and then You will put the jack stands under the the car....let it rest on the jackstands...do the other side so you have both the front or the rear up at the same time....paint - use min of 4 coats per caliper...then replaced wheels and repeat

 

yea and torque them lug bolts to 89ft lbs. no torque wrench? take it to les-schwab thell do it for fee no prob.
