Question

There are many steps involved with changing a tire, but to ensure total safety, the following materials are essential to have before getting started: jack, lug nut wrench, and a spare tire. The first step to get the flat tire off the wheel bearing is to take the jack and place it on the underlying metal part of the car between the flat tire and the one parallel to it. Wind the jack up so the flat tire is completely lifted off the concrete (or road where it is sitting). Next, take the lug nuts off using the wrench. Be sure to take the lug nuts off in opposite order. (Some may say in criss-cross order.) Third, pull the lug nuts completely off, take the flat tire off, and put the spare on in its place. Then, put the lug nuts back onto the spare in the same way they were pulled off the original tire. Do not fully tighten them until the jack is lowered and the spare tire is touching the ground. Finally, once the rubber of the tire hits the concrete/road, be sure to tighten the lug nuts fully. Be sure to put the jack and lug nut wrench back in their proper places; place the spare in the back of the vehicle to see if it can be repaired at the tire shop.
