It is easier than you think. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b>Safety First:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pull your car to a safe location so that it is away from traffic. Turn on the hazard lights to keep other drivers informed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Block Movement: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a manual transmission car you need to make sure the car doesn\u2019t move while you change the tire. Either fix a wheel wedge onto the tire or place a rock behind all tires.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Things you will need: <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you have a jack, lug wrench, fully inflated spare tire, and vehicle owner\u2019s manual in the car trunk. These are a must if you want to be equipped to change your car\u2019s tire yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Steps<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Lug nuts: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to unscrew the lug nuts make sure to remove the hubcap if you have one installed. Put the lug wrench in place on the nuts and unscrew. Let the nuts remain in their position until you decide to remove the tire completely <\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Jack placement<\/strong>:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Place the jack firmly against the car\u2019s frame adjacent to the flat tire. Make sure the jack is firmly planted, now lift your car with the help of the jack. Many often lift the car before removing the lug nuts, but that won\u2019t work! So don\u2019t forget to remove lug nuts. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Remove and Replace<\/strong>:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Remove the lug nuts completely and unmount the flat tire. Replace it with the spare tire by aligning it with the lug bolts and gently push it into position thereby exposing the bolts through the rim. Screw the lug nuts back onto the tire and tighten them further once you have lowered the car back on the ground.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Air Pressure<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: After changing the tire make sure to drive to the nearest service station to check the air pressure of your spare tire and ensure that it has been installed correctly.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These steps are easy to follow and once you have changed a flat tire once you will be able to do it again, though we&#8217;re hoping you wouldn\u2019t need to.
