How do you change a flat tire?

1) Find the spare tire, jack and tire iron.



2) Make sure that the car is in gear (or in %26quot;park%26quot; if the car is an automatic) and the emergency brake is set. The car should be parked on a flat piece of pavement.



3) Remove the flat tire:

- use the tire iron (the L-shaped bar that fits over the wheel lugs) to loosen each wheel lug. Once you have accomplished this, move the jack underneath the car.

- raise the car with the jack until the flat tire is completely raised off the ground. Once this is done, remove the wheel lugs completely.



4) Install the spare:

- position the spare tire over the wheel studs. This is the most physically challenging part of the whole process. You'll have to hold up the tire and try to line up the holes in the wheel with the protruding wheel studs located on the brake hub.

- after you have the spare tire hanging on the wheel studs, screw each of the wheel lugs back on.

- once the spare tire is on, carefully lower the jack. Pull the jack away from the vehicle.

- the final step is to tighten down the lugs completely.



5) Put the flat tire in the space where the spare tire was and put the jack and tire iron back in the car.
