Changing a tyre is something most people are not keen on.
Here we try to make it easy and as interesting for you to try. So that the next time you are involved in this problem, you will be out of it in a jiffy.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following -
1) A portable jack to lift your car.
2) Inflated spare tyre.
3) Wheel spanner to remove and fix back the wheel.
After you have parked your car safely put a couple of bricks or stones beneath the tyres to make sure that it does not roll down.
Bring your portable jack, spare wheel and spanner to the work area. Loosen the nuts without having jacked up the car, to prevent the wheel spin on you. Turn counter-clockwise to loosen the nut until it comes off.
After you remove the nuts, jack up your car. After having taken out the wheel nuts, pull it with your weight forward to prevent from falling backward.
Adjust the spare wheel in the threaded shafts so that they fit. Then tighten the nuts in the proper order.
Once you are done, lower the jack so that the tyre rests on the ground. Replace the hubcap or the plate and you are good to go!
