Steps for Replacing a Damaged Wheel on Your GMC Savana 1500 Van

First, make sure your Savana is parked on level ground and the emergency brake is engaged to prevent any movement. Use a lug wrench to loosen the lug nuts on the damaged wheel, but do not remove them yet.

Next, use a car jack to lift the corner of the van where the damaged wheel is located. Once the van is lifted, remove the lug nuts and take off the damaged wheel.

Before putting on the replacement wheel, make sure the lug holes line up and the wheel is centered on the hub. Tighten the lug nuts by turning them by hand, then lower the van off the jack and use the lug wrench to tighten the lug nuts securely in a star pattern.

Repeat these steps for each wheel that needs to be replaced. It's important to remember to always use OEM manufactured wheels when replacing damaged ones on your GMC Savana 1500 Van to ensure proper fit and performance.
