Learn how to properly change a tire to avoid nasty accidents.

[Music Playing] What will you do if your car has a flat tire? You can call a tow truck to take it to n auto shop, but that can be expensive and take a lot of time; or you can change the tire yourself. First we need to take you spare tire and jack out of the trunk of your car. If you do not have one, make sure to buy one at a local auto store. With the use of a jack, we need to turn the lever clockwise to tighten it. And pull the lever up and down to raise it up. And turn the lever counterclockwise to loosen it sp the jack goes down. Take the jack and put it under the frame of the car, near the tire you want to change. Tighten the jack and raise it up. Make sure the jack is high enough to put jack stands under your car. Next, put the jack stands under the frame of your car secured in the air. Using your jack, slowly lower your car onto the stands. When you had your car securely on your jack stands, you will next take off the hub cap. You might need a crowbar to do so. The next few steps, you will need to use either on impact, it was air compressor, a socket wrench or a tighter iron. If you use an impact or socket wrench you will need a socket that will feet on each node on the wheel. Make sure you have the right socket. And take off the knots in the wheel. And always remember to wear safety glasses. When you have taken all of the knots off the wheel, you next take off the bad tire. Put a good spare tire on the car and screw the knots back on as tight as you can. Make sure that each knot is adhered. For the next step, you can use a tighter iron, but you might not want it. This is why you always wear safety glasses. They save this man’s eyes. We recommend using a socket wrench to tighten the knots and never use an impact to put your tire back on. When your spare tire is securely back on your car, you next put your jack back under the frame; and raise up your car until you are able to take out the stands from your car. Slowly lower your car and take jack out. So you are ready to get back on the road and get to where you are going.
