How To Change A Tyre

DIY : Home Repair

You need a jack, spare tyre (of course) and a lug wrench

Park your car in a safe place. Use a couple of bricks or stones beneath the tyres to make sure that it does not roll.



Loosen the nuts before you jack the car up to prevent wheel spin. Turn each one counterclockwise to loosen the nut until it comes off. Now you need to jack up the car and then remove the old wheel. Remove the lug nuts, then pull the wheel with your weight forward to stop it falling backwards. Carefully adjust the spare wheel in the threaded shafts so that they fit well. Tighten the nuts in the proper order then lower the jack so that the tyre rests on the ground. Replace the hubcap and that's it, you're ready to go.
