give the man some respect and a like for flattening his own tire just so we understand how to fit a new one!!! ✊👏
Haha, yes I had to pump it back up by hand!
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Camden Mayson Instablaster ;)
Dude.. you are the f**kin' man. I'm slowly working my way through these videos to learn as much as I can and you don't skimp on any detail (thank GOD), explain stuff well and are clear and keep it simple. Whenever I start driving again / pass I owe you a drink! Big thumbs up :D
Thank you! I wish you good luck for when you start driving.
Thank God for this video! I passed my test in November and still don't know how to do this! My driving instructor never went through it with me 😂😫🤦♀️🙏
Hopefully you won't need it!
@@ConquerDriving hopefully haha. Thanks! 💜🙏
Absolute godsend this video; I just got my first car and had the supreme misfortune of getting a puncture literally the first time I drove it home (and before I'd had chance to buy a spare wheel)🤦♂
Best explanation I've seen so far. Had a go myself today and had no trouble at all. Thanks!
Very useful video for pupils in this quiet time.
I'd noticed in comments someone pointing out their driving instructor didn't go through this.
There is only so much your instructor can teach you (remember your paying by the hour, and it's best spent actually driving), so going on TH-cam and watching excellent videos like this, is the thing to do, don't wait 6 months after your test, then realise you don't know.
It's normally a wrestle with time when you're teaching someone yo drive. There is an awful lot more I can teach, but hours of lesson time are expensive for most people.
I’ve watched many videos on changing a wheel as I’m apprehensive of doing it, but you’ve explained it better than any I’ve seen and with very good tips like duct tape over the wrench and the locking wheel nut first off but last on, which I didn’t know. I now have the confidence to change a wheel. Thank you for uploading this video.
I'm happy to help. Best to try doing it at home before you need to do it on the street.
Quality video. Really useful and so detailed. Thanks for the excellent content as always! 🙂
Thank you and you're welcome!
Used for roadside tyre change. Scraped knuckles but got it done. Thanks!
Hurting your knuckles is easily done with these tools. I've learnt to do it a bit more slowly to save the pain.
Nice vid. Never seen this done before, didn't know a driver could do it themself.
Thank you for this very educational, easy to understand guide! Bought myself my first car and diving deep into this sort of videos to learn more on how to take care of my vehicle.
A very worthwhile video for those who have a spare wheel. It is always worth checking if it is an option as many cars only come with the repair kit. On a cautionary note DO NOT attempt to change a wheel at the side of a road and especially not on a motorway hard shoulder. Call a rescue service.
Agreed, make sure you're in a safe place because working on your car.
Mine came without the spare secondhand but it does have a space for one so I might buy one at some point.
Thanks my brother, love from Uganda east Africa 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
thanks for this vedio.really i like it
Thank you and you're welcome.
Good video Richard. 👍
Thanks Dan, I hope you're ok!
Yeah I'm good thanks Richard, I hope you're well.
Hi Sir, I'm Vaibhav from India. I'm fan of your driving teaching style.
I have one request for you,
Please make one video on how to judge the left side of car while driving on road. 🙏
I already have one, check out my video staying centered.
@@ConquerDriving Sir, I mean like this video,
th-cam.com/video/mir1H4f5ZwY/w-d-xo.html
It's in Hindi language but u can understand it because it contains few English words.
Good effort, most videos do not give a clue as to the force you require when tightening the nuts back up when you don't have a torque wrench.
Make sure your 'spare' is checked as well as all 4 corners when doing tyre pressure checks 🙂🚙
Very true, I'll be honest, I always forget this.
Sorry what do you mean when you say all 4 corners
@@jasonr2226when u check your tyre pressure on your 4 wheels on your car also check the 5th wheel. (your spare in the boot)
I don't like the crappy wheel wrench & jack that was supplied with my car. So I bought a small trolley jack & extending wheel wrench instead. The extra leverage is essential if the wheel nuts have been over torqued.
It can help but that's a lot to carry in your boot. Perhaps torque your nuts yourself so you don't get caught out if you get a flat and have to fit the spare at the side of the road.
Extremely helpful thank you !!
Thank you.
3:41 My friends used to do that a lot, yes.
Thank you for the advice and demonstration :D
If there's one thing I learned from this video, it's that I'm keeping my AAA membership! LOL! Don't know what the UK equivalent is, but AAA is the big roadside assistance/car club here in the US. All I know is that in Germany, the equivalent is ADAC. Anyway, I couldn't imagine doing this in the freezing cold on the side of the freeway, with cars rushing by at 70 mph just feet away from you. Every now and then, I'll hear in the local news about someone getting killed changing their tire on the side of the freeway. I think that changing a flat tire on your own should be done as an absolute last resort, and only if you're in a low traffic, rural road where you can't get a good cell phone signal.
In the UK it's AA. We don't say double A like you say triple A. We literally say A A
@@ConquerDriving Cool! Thanks for the info! I duckduckgo'ed AA, and it's basically an exact parallel to AAA. They even sell car insurance, like AAA.
for anyone worried about the wheel coming off, remember there are several bolts/nuts of which pull on a thread which equally is pulling against the bolt/nut of the wheel. as long as the wheel is placed on straight and all the bolts/nuts are tightened generously, you have nothing to worry about
I'm catching up with these amazing videos, I wonder though when buying a new tyre is it worth buy one brand new or part worn?
You don't know the history of a part worn tyre so it's a risk. However, I prefer to have both tyres on the same axle equally worn or it pulls to one side.

Thanks for sharing it
Very very informative.
Thank you!
Thanks!

Cool
What do you call that tool that you used to easily turn the jack lift? I had a hard time last time as I don’t have the same as yours. Yours looked easy you just spun it. Did you buy it in amazon?
There are several types of jack available, this one came with the car.
Nice
Rich keeps a pair of gloves in his boot just in case so don't mess with him on the road! 😱
😂
65KG with muscle?! What's your secret?
Haha, I've very skinny.
Could I do this to swap my tyres as the tyre person put the two new ones on the front not the rear and I have heard it is not good like the cus of oversteering, so could I do this to swap the front and rear around
You can swap the front and rear wheels if they're the same size.
Hi, i'm having an issue where my wheel wrench rubs against the inside of the holes where the lug bolts go. it ruins the paint. how do i avoid this?
You'll need a new tool. I use sockets with a nylon surround to protect the wheel along with a breaker bar. They're special for wheels.
Will the jack points under the car be the same for the rear wheels aswell?
If differs from car to car, make sure you check what's true for your car. A Google search can normally help.
Does the fact that the locking nut is kept in the car make it kind of redudant?
Not really. You'd have to break into the car to get it. Nearly all modern cars will have alarms/deadlocking. And the thief would have to spend time searching for the lock nut whilst the alarm is blaring
Nothing much has a very good point. Also, it's very hard to access the boot without a key, even if you broke the window the parcel shelf is still in the way.
@@ConquerDriving Yeah. I suppose the more steps you can add to what a thief has to do to get what he wants is better.

0:20 where can you buy refills of that
Most motor stores sell it.
Wao what a gentleman , how he guides A big Salute , I m really impressed the way he is really guiding so briefly 😙
Thank you.
I have a full size wheel for my spare but my mechanic said there are markings on them that show they are the spare. Is this true or is he talking crap.
Sounds like nonsense
If it's full size you can use it like a normal wheel. But it may be different cosmetically.
@@nothingmuch.3014 He pointed to some little bit between the grip of the tyre.
Btw Richard, do you rotate your tyres?
Yes I do, when I replace the front I then switch rear and front so the new rubber is always at the back and the old rubber is being used before it expires.
Mr Richard how to apply for insurance
Only for the UK - sorry.
mines like your first car.. no spare. just compressor n a tub of tyre weld type stuff to screw onto the compressor. the stuff goes out of date. good vid tho
It does go out of date. I have some in my VX220 and I recently noticed it was a couple of years out of date. I'll replace it with a fire extinguisher given how modified the engine is it's probably a better thing to have. I'd only put that stuff in my wheels if I really had to.
@@ConquerDriving vx220.... peng car.
Can,t you just lift the handbrake up
The handbrake only stops the rear wheels. So if you lift the rear there is nothing to hold the front wheels
Oh
'Learn or it's free' ?????? What in the hell does that mean lol?
It means if you don't like the lesson you don't need to pay.
@@ConquerDriving It's like a test drive yeah? Do u collect any collateral in case if anyone just wants to drive your car or something like that lol?
