Demonstrating how to use a basic quick release is removed and put back on. 

Steps For Tire Removal
1. Release Lever
2. Unscrew cap on opposite side until tire slips out
3. Release break from wheel (if necessary)

Steps For Tire Replacement
1. Place Tire in fork, fully seated
2. With lever in release position, turn cap on opposite side until tight to the finger
3. Clamp lever down ensuring it feels tight and grips the fork. If too tight, unscrew cap a 1/4 turn, if too loose, tighten cap a bit more.
4. Connect brake

Remember  the lever goes on side opposite side of the chain (there is less stuff on that side of the bike!)

Be Careful to set the tension high enough so your wheel does not fall out and be sure to check your quick release is tight before every ride! Oh and I made a lot of this stuff off the top of my head, so don't file a lawsuit against me if you follow these instructions and it doesn't work. My Top Bike Products:
