Please give me a step-by-step on how to do it the right way. My car is a Ford Explorer, if that makes a diffrence.......
Thanks! ~Katie!~How do you change a tire???Find your owners manual, it will tell you where to jack it up at.
Step 1. Find the flat tire... lol j/k
Step 2. take out jack, crowbar and spare tire.
Step 3. Loosen the bolts, but don't take them off yet. its easier to loosen them with the weight of the car on the tire.
Step 4. Jack up car. You need to jack it enough so that the spare tire will fit. remember the flat tire is going to be closer to the ground, so you will need to compensate.
Step 5. Take all the bolts off, remove tire.
step 6. Put new/spare tire on and put a bolt on right away to hold it in place.
I usually hand tighten the bolts, then (Don't jack it all the way down) jack it down just enough to have the weight of the car to hold the tire so it doesn't move.
Step. 7 Tighten bolts with crowbar then jack it down the rest of the way.How do you change a tire???plz help this girl get up to 200 hundred answers. Plz advertise the address to questions u answer:

First you need a jack to raise one end of the car, the side with the tire that needs to be changed. Then you need a tool, may be called a ratchet, to remove the nuts from the tire. Then the tire will be lose and you can remove it. Place new tire on, replace the nuts and lower the jack. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO TEACH YOU IN PERSON, HANDS ON FOR YOUR SAFETY. YOU NEED TO SEE HOW IT'S DONE. I WOULD NOT WANT THE CAR FALLING ON YOU.

You will have to turn the scissor jack until it reached the bottom of the explorer body, look for the lift point near the fron of the rear wheel, or rear side of the front wheel.
Turn the jack and raise the explorer up but not till the wheel come off the gound
Now loosen the lug nuts with the wrench, they will be pretty tight, you might have to use your foot to beak the nuts loose.
Now raise the explorer up till the wheel is off the ground.
Take the nuts off and pull the wheel off.
To put the new wheel on just put it on, tighten the nuts, lower the SUV until the wheel hits the ground, tighten the nuts real tight, lower the explorer to the ground and it is done.How do you change a tire???just flash your tata's any dude will change it for ya with no problems

867-5309 jenny's number a song from the 80'sHow do you change a tire???Open the trunk. Get out the jack and the whatever- it- is that you use to loosen the lug nuts. Make sure that you have a spare and that it's not flat too.
Before jacking up the car, remove the hubcap and loosen the lug nuts a little. Following the directions on the jack, place it under the recommended area of the car, and after making sure your car is in park or a gear that won't let it roll away, jack up the car until the flat tire is off the ground. Loosen and remove the lug nuts. Take off the tire, put on the spare, put the lug nuts on and tighten them. Lower the jack to let the car back down. Once it's back on the ground, tighten the lugs firmly. Replace the hubcap, put the flat tire, jack etc. back in the trunk.

Men, bless them, are better suited to this type of thing than we are, and they don't worry about breaking a nail.How do you change a tire???Katie, my grand daughter's name also.
Changing a tire is really easy once you know how to do it. The problem is, every vehicle is a little different. The jack has to be placed in the right spot, or it is dangerous to raise it.
Loosen the lug nuts before you lift the vehicle, raise the vehicle, remove the lug nuts that hold the tire on, remove the flat, replace with the spare, and reverse the process.
If you can't convince your dad to help you with this, find a boy from auto shop class, flutter your eyelids at him, and in your sweetest voice, ask him, %26quot;Can you show me how to change a tire? You are so strong and smart!%26quot;
Trust me, he will fall all over himself to help you. It is best to actually see how it is done, and then you should be able to do it yourself.How do you change a tire???1. Remove all the lugs from the tire with a lug wrench, while the full weight of the car is on the flat one.
2. Jack up the car high enough to pull the tire off.
3. Pull it off.
4. Put the spare tire on.
5. Lower the car with the jack, just enough to keep the tire from spinning, but no lower.
6. Put the lugs, from step 1, onto the spare.
(Don't tighten them one at a time!) Tighten each, a little at a time, until they are all reasonably tight. (Too tight for fingers, not too tight for moderate pull on lug wrench.)
7. Take the flat tire to a tire store, ask them to fix and replace it. It shouldn't cost more than 20 bucks, else it's a rip off.
(Better yet, call AAA!)
The basic principle is the same on all vehicles. Look in your owner's manual for anything different, and make sure you know where your jack is, and how to use it, before you get a flat!How do you change a tire???This is a really good question to ask because your right all drivers should know how to change a tire there should be instructions with the jack that came with the car.
Here is how to do it
1. Locate the vehicles jack and lug wrench
2. Make sure the car is parked on a level hard surface
3. Set parking brake
4. Loosen lug nuts (do not remove the nuts yet just loosen)
5. locate vehicle lift point
6. Line jack up with lift point being sure jack is on sturdy level ground
7. jack up vehicle enough to raise tire off the ground
8. Remove pre loosened lug nuts and tire from the wheel hub
9. Place spare tire on the hub
10. Make sure tire is on the hub square
11. Snug Lug nut in a criss cross or star pattern so the wheel is pulled onto the hub evenly This is very Important
12. Lower car back to the ground
13 Tighten Lug Nuts in a criss crossing pattern as tight as you can get it you may even want to stand on the lug wrench
14. check that all lugs are tight
That's all that's to it but remember to use that criss cross pattern when tightening the lug nut and that you only want to loosen and tighten the nuts when the car is on the ground so not to knock the car off the jack wile you are working on it.
You should have your dad show you first before you try this just so you can see it done.
