*I am not really sure how to do this so I did a lot of research. If you need more instruction on exactly what do I will leave one at the end of tis How To. :)
How to:
- Step one: Find a flat, stable and safe place to change your tire. You should have a solid, level surface that will restrict the car from rolling.
- Step two: Apply the parking brake and put car into "Park" position. If you have a standard transmission, put your vehicle in first or reverse.
- Step three: Place a heavy object (e.g., rock, concrete, spare wheel, etc.) in front of the front and back tires.
- Step four: Take out the spare tire and the jack. Place the jack under the frame near the tire that you are going to change
- Step five: Take out the spare tire and the jack. Place the jack under the frame near the tire that you are going to change
- Step six: Remove the hubcap and loosen the nuts by turning counterclockwise. Don't take them all the way off; just break the resistance. By keeping the wheel on the ground when you first loosen the nuts, you'll make sure that you're turning the nuts instead of the wheel.
- Step seven: Pump or crank the jack to lift the tire off the ground. You need to lift it high enough to remove the flat tire and replace it with a spare.
- Step eight: Remove the nuts the rest of the way. Turn them counterclockwise until they are loose. Repeat with all lug nuts, then remove the nuts completely.
- Step nine:Remove the tire. Place the flat tire under the vehicle so in the event of a jack failure the vehicle will fall on the old wheel, hopefully preventing injury. If the jack is placed on a flat, solid base, you shouldn't have any problems.
- Step ten: Place the spare tire on the hub. Take care to align the rim of the spare tire with the wheel bolts, then put on the lug nuts Then tighten the nuts by hand until they are all snug. They should turn easily at first.
- Step eleven: Lower the car without applying full weight on the tire. Tighten the nuts as much as possible. Then you are going to lower the car to the ground fully and remove the jack. Finish tightening the nuts and replace the hubcap.
I think this will be very helpful in that situation!
