Introduction

• Well, certain things you should know while
  replacing your cars tyre. Replacing a flat tyre
  is one life skill that every person should know.
  It is not hard if you can follow a few simple
  steps, possess a set of right tools and know how
  to use them. At awkward places, flat tyres often
  occur. However, when you are on the road, you
  will need to locate a safe place to steer your
  car to the edge of the road and then replace the
  tyre. Here safe means, clear from traffic and
  possibly on a firm, level surface.

Things You Will Need
4

• For replacing a car tyre, youll require a spare
  tyre, a robust jack and a wheel brace for
  loosening the lug nuts or a suitably sized socket
  with an extended handle.
• It is an excellent idea to take with you a brick
  or wood chunk this can be fixed against one of
  the wheels on the opposite side of the car for
  added safety and firmness. This is particularly
  essential if the ground is not as level as you
  would want it to be.
• In case, you are halted on the soft ground, a
  piece of hard board is a useful item for sticking
  beneath the jack before you begin lifting up the
  car.

LIFT UP THE CAR

• Well, you are all set to start the process but
  before you begin, ensure the car is in the park,
  apply the handbrake and start your cars hazard
  lights.
• You will find the jack at the grooves on the
  bottom of the car.
• When you are satisfied with the firmness of the
  vehicle as well as the placement of the jack,
  begin to turn the wheel brace slowly until you
  have removed a bit of the weight from the flat
  tyre.
• You need to ensure there is still adequate weight
  on the tyre to let you unfasten the wheel nuts
  without unintentionally spinning the wheel.

PULL OUT THE FLAT TYRE

• It is all about using the right technique instead
  of applying brute force to loosen up unyielding
  wheel nuts.
• As soon as you have the wheel brace on one of the
  nuts, use a quick anti-clockwise push to
  release it. Keep both your arm and back straight
  facing the wheel.
• Prevent the brace from slipping off the nut
  loosen up each nut successively. The technique is
  to maintain the wheel brace parallel to the
  ground and allow your body weight to perform most
  of the work.
• Once all the nuts are loosened, use the jack to
  continue lifting the car so that it is adequately
  high from the ground making it convenient to fit
  on the new wheel.
• However, never lift up the car more than it is
  actually required. To take out the old tyre,
  remove all the nuts from the wheel and keep them
  aside safely (you should know where you have kept
  them) and cautiously lift the wheel from the
  vehicle.

FIT THE REPLACEMENT TYRE
10

• Take your replacement wheel from its nook in the
  boot and place it up against the wheel assembly.
• First, align the wheel holes so you can raise it
  straight onto the car in a single attempt without
  winding and turning.
• After you have lifted and positioned the wheel,
  screw on all the lug nuts and manually fasten
  them by hand. Nonetheless, do not completely
  tighten them all at this point rather wait for
  the car to get down from the jack and be totally
  firm on the ground, then you can perform full
  tightening.
• It is vital that you dont get any twists in your
  back when lifting up a tyre from a car or fitting
  a replacement tyre.
• To remain safe from back injuries position your
  feet for the utmost firmness and do not lean over
  more than it is required.

LOWER DOWN THE CAR AND TAKE OUT THE JACK
12

• Lower down your car and gradually remove the jack
  when the replacement tyre has completely taken
  the vehicles weight.
• Now, it is the right time to tighten up the wheel
  nuts completely. When tightening each wheel nut,
  use your body weight instead of only using arm
  strength, and keep the wheel brace horizontal
  (i.e. level) to the ground.
• Appropriately store your flat tyre, jack and
  wheel brace in the boot. Do not just put your old
  tyre in the recess but also fasten it in place so
  it does not slide around when you are driving.
