How To Change A Tire

Written by Staff


1)Take off the hubcap and loosen lug nuts before jacking up the car. If your car is raised, the tire will spin when you try to loosen the nuts. Remember the handy phrase: Righty tighty, lefty loosey. Loosen the nuts, don't take off completely yet, skipping every other one until you've worked your way around the wheel.

2)Now jack up the car. Your car manual shows the proper positioning of the jack. Jacks employ either a screw or a lever mechanism that makes the job almost effortless for even the girliest girls. Raise the car enough to get the flat off and accommodate the spare tire.

3)Completely remove the lug nuts and store in a safe place, then remove the flat.

4)Put the spare tire on with the air valve facing out and screw on the lug nuts, again alternating until you've finished the wheel.

5)Lower the car and re-tighten the lug nuts using your pipe for leverage.
