Do you need special tools?How do you change a tire?before you ever go anywhere, make sure that your spare tire has enough air pressure in it, and if you ever do have a flat on the side of the road, look under your hood, or under the back end of the car to see if you can find your jack, and when you do start to jack up the car, there should be a jackup point on the suspension, or frame.... be sure to have your parking/emergency brake on and your hazard lights flashing. then unscrew the bolt for your spare tire, get your lug wrench, and start to loosen the lugs on your flat tire. then jack the car up enough to have the tire up off the ground. when you do that take the lugs completely off and take the tire off and put in the trunk or bed of the vehicle. then put the spare on and put on the lugs handtight, lower the jack until the tire is touching the ground, when it is low enough tighten the lugs in a star type fashion that way they wont come loose, get them as tight as you can and then let the car all the way down. put your jack and lug wrench back in the same location. and be sure to turn your hazard lights off and get to a tire center asap... the only tools you will really need is what came with the car. if you dont know where any of the tire changing equipment is, then look at your owners manualHow do you change a tire?Tools needed: great Legs, blonde, nice chest.How do you change a tire?Three things...a tire iron (protection from the crazies), cell phone (to call AAA) and directions to Pep Boys (to replace the blown tire)!

Basically you need the jack, a lug wrench and a bit of resolve to get the job done.
1. Remove the jack and lug wrench from the trunk or storage area.
2. Place the car in park and set the emergency brake.
3. Place the jack under the bumper or in the jacking point opening.
4. Raise the car slightly with the wheel still on the ground.
5. Loosen, but do not remove the lug nuts.
6. Raise the tire off the ground using the jack.
7. Remove the lug nuts, tire and wheel.
8. Install the spare.
9. Lower the car until the tire is contacting the ground.
10. Tighten the lug nuts.
11. Lower the car the rest of the way.
Some additional notes. Check your spare for inflation. You could have a sad day if the spare is flat. If you have locking lug nuts, make sure that the key is in the car. Preferably near the other tools for changing the tire. Practice jacking your car up and down a couple of times in your driveway to get the understanding of everything involved.How do you change a tire?The only tools you need are a jack (Right there next to your spare tire)....a spare tire (in your trunk)...and a tire wrench (usually part of your jack handle).
Put your car in Park....put on your parking brake.....block the tires that don't need replacing. Jack up the car so the flat tire is off the ground. Remove the lug nuts (the things that hold the wheel on the car). Take the wheel off and put the spare on.
Hold on!!!....you're not through. Put the lug nuts back on and make sure they're tight. then lower the car, put the jack, flat tire and jack handle back in the trunk and head over to the tire store and replace the bad tire. Have them put it back on the car and you're on your way.How do you change a tire?Get the jack and a nut wrench, put the jack under the car where it won't slip off, raise the jack, take the bolts off the wheel, remove the wheel, put the new one on (if spare get a new one later cuz spares look ugly) screw the bolts back on lower the jack and go get a new tire and wheelHow do you change a tire?the tools should be in the trunk. the instructions are in the manual, toward the end, under emergencies. first you need to take out the jack and the lugnut wrench. Set your parking brake. Use the lugnut wrench to loosen all the nuts. If you have steel wheels, then you have to use the pry tool on the other end of the nut wrench to pry off the wheel cover. You have to hope that whoever put on your wheel last (for tire rotation, brakes, suspension, etc.) did not overtighten the nuts (by using an impact wrench to save time, for example. this will kill your brakes in months and is common in my experience. don't get me started.) if someone did this, it will take an extreme amount of force to get the nuts off. Don't take off the nuts-just loosen them. Than jack up the car so that the wheel is above the ground-enough for you to take the tire off. Unscrew all the nuts. Pull the tire off. Put the spare on. Tighten the nuts. Release the jack. Tighten the nuts again with the nut wrench. Do not tighten by using your foot on the nut wrench. Drive to the nearest tire shop to see if they can patch the flat tire or if it has to be replaced. They'll put the spare back where it belongs. Like i said before, my only concern with tire shops is them properly torqueing (tightening the wheels). They are supposed to manually torque them with a special tool called a torque wrench after using an impact wrench with a colored torque stick. Otherwise your brakes will wear very quickly (in months), particularly the rotors, and it will be very difficult to remove a wheel if you get a flat.How do you change a tire?Buy quality tires when you need them like Michelin. That's the best strategy, but make sure your spare tire is inflated to the right pressure and ready for an emergency. Depend on your cell phone and your 24/7 garage service.
