Do I need any type of special tool or anything to get the wheels/tires off? Everything I need is in the trunk?

I just bought the Z a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the help.
There are the required tools for jacking and wheel removal in the trunk. Floor jack, jack stands and pneumatic tools make the job faster and easier. A torgue wrench comes in handy also.

torque wrench should be used to put the wheels back on (don't use it to take the wheels off, use the lug wrench). set it to 80 ft lb. per the manual.

That is what I meant. Thanks for clarifying.

also, should point out a torque wrench is not included in your trunk, you'll have to purchase that separately.
