rev up your engines today I'm going to show you what not to do when changing a
flat tire you don't want to damage anything you want to do it right
here's mistakes that people make that you shouldn't do don't just start by
jacking it up in the air you want to remove the hubcap but has any
then just loosen each lug nut now you want to do this with the car on level
surface on the ground because if you jack it up in here when you try to
loosen them it'll just keep spinning around so loosen each one just a little
one it's not gonna hurt anything just loose them a bit with them on the ground
then before you Jack it up make sure the car is in park to end the emergency
brake is on tight so the car doesn't roll and of course do this on flat level
solid ground if you're in a muddy area just drive slowly with the flat tire
till you get to a flat surface that's strong I've seen guys Jack them up in
the mud and they just sink back down into the ground if you get the tire off
and then it sinks in the ground you can't get the other one back on so you
want solid level ground you're doing this on if you got to drive a little
while big deal drive it don't try to do it on a hilly area works at a big angle
or where there's mud or even a whole bunch of gravel you want to go where
there's solid ground when it comes to Jack it up know where your jack points
are in this case there's two not just one here and one here
you pick the jack got pushed down would come in between the two notches as you
can see here it fits right between the two notches so you can jack it up then
you tighten the valve and start jacking just do it a little bit at a time
and remember the toy is flat so you want to get it way up in the air
otherwise when you put the new tire on it won't fit cuz it's not higher so it's
better to jack it up a little bit higher but it's a bit too low now as you can
see it easily comes off to nothing job once you already have the things loose
sometimes you gotta kick them cause they're old
get them off and there we go and look now the charge magically not flat anymore it's
only flat on the bottom on the weight side we got the other tire onto the
trunk and put it on and get your dirty old spar in the trunk and before you go any
further check the air pressure I checked mine all the time so it's got
32 psi that's fine and you roll the tire on and line up
the holes they only go one way and put them on finger tight the wiggle a little to get
them on real tight I'm gonna spray a little wd-40 on this one
all cars like this that it rusty spray a little in the nut and some on the bolt
then you can use your socket you can get a little more turning pressure
there that started it now once they're all snugged up get your socket so
they're snug all of them there's the last one then we'll let the jack down down it goes
we're not done yet now we're gonna get them super tight
then on the ground with a brake on so nothing I'm moving I will never come on
we'll just do them all and check just to make sure yeah nothing so now
you know how to correctly change your tire and it'll go down the road the
wheel won't fall off and you won't injure yourself doing a job anybody can
do it just as long as they know what not to do like I just shown, so if you never
