How to change your tire
- 1. The KATANA Group o Ani Sarah o Masnani o Nurul Adzline o Nurul Syahida
- 3. Find a flat, stable and safe place to change your tire.
- 4. Apply the parking brake and put car into "Park" position.
- 5. Place a heavy object (e.g., rock, concrete, spare wheel, etc.) in front of the front and back tires.
- 6. Take out the spare tire and the jack. Place the jack under the frame near the tire that you are going to change. Ensure that the jack is in contact with the metal portion of your car's frame.
- 7. Raise the jack until it is supporting (but not lifting) the car.
- 8. Remove the hub cap and loosen the nuts by turning counterclock wise.
- 9. Pump or crank the jack to lift the tire off the ground.
- 10. Remove the nuts the rest of the way.
- 11. 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.
- 12. 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.
- 13. Tighten the nuts by hand until they are all snug. They should turn easily at first.
- 14. Lower the car without applying full weight on the tire. Tighten the nuts as much as possible.
- 15. Lower the car to the ground fully and remove the jack. Finish tightening the nuts and replace the hubcap.
- 16. Put the old tire in your trunk and take it to a mechanic. Get an estimate for the cost of repair. Small punctures can usually be repaired for less than $15. If the tire is not repairable, they can dispose of it properly and sell you a replacement. Go!!
