To change a tyre is something most people are not keen
on. Here we try to make it easy and as interesting for you. So that the next
time you are involved in this fix, you will be out of it in a jiffy. Before you
begin, make sure that
• The jack in your car is there
• There is a properly inflated spare tyre
• You have a lug wrench that fits your wheel
• Lug bolts
Steps to Follow :
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 jack, spare wheel and lug wrench to the work area. Loosen the nuts
without having jacked up the car, to prevent the wheel spin on you. Turn
counterclockwise to loosen the nut until it comes off. Next step is to jack up
the car and remove the old wheel now.
After having taken out the lug nuts, pull the wheel with your weight forward to
prevent from falling backward. Adjust well the spare wheel in the threaded
shafts so that they fit. Then tighten the nuts in the proper order. Lower the
jack so that the tyre rests on the ground. Replace the hubcap or the plate.
You are ready to drive again. |
