Align the lift cap of the Selson Air Jack with the jacking point on the vehicle.
Step 4: Connect to Air Supply
Attach the air hose from your compressor to the jack’s air inlet. Press and hold the green button to inflate. A Selson Air Jack will expand and lift the vehicle in seconds!
Step 5: Jack-it Safely

Step 6: Remove Wheel Nuts and Tyre
Fully remove the loosened wheel nuts and pull off the old tyre.
Step 7: Mount the New Tyre
Align the wheel studs and slide the new tyre onto the hub. Hand-tighten the wheel nuts in a crisscross pattern to seat the wheel evenly.
Step 8: Lower the Vehicle
Remove the vehicle stand and press the red button to slowly release the air and deflate the jack.
Step 9: Torque the Wheel Nuts
Use a torque wrench to tighten each wheel nut to your vehicle’s recommended torque spec.
