A system for performing vehicle maintenance includes a robotic apparatus adapted to remove and replace a vehicle wheel and a processor that obtains the number of wheel lugs and the true radius of the wheel lugs from the true center of the wheel, then estimates the position of each lug and the center of the vehicle wheel. The estimated position of each lug is iteratively adjusted until each lug position (angles and radius) are within some margin of error. At this point a new estimate of the center is provided and the processor instructs the robotic apparatus to remove the lugs from the wheel.
