Many people belong to a roadside-assistance service, but if you're stuck in a remote area, you'll want to know what to do.
Warning
Heavy tires, elevated and unstable vehicles, and nearby traffic can make changing your own tire extremely dangerous. Be careful, and always check your owner's manual first-directions may be different depending on the year, make, and model of your vehicle.
Step 1: Park on a level surface
Make sure the car is parked on a flat, level surface far from any oncoming traffic, and engage the emergency brake. Turn on your hazard lights, and if you have roadside flares or a reflective triangle, use them to warn other drivers that you're working on your vehicle.
Tip
Consider keeping a canned tire sealant in your emergency kit. If your tire has only been slightly compromised, the sealant may patch it long enough to get you to the service station.
Step 2: Block the wheels
Find heavy objects-like bricks or rocks-to block the wheels. Place them in front of and behind the tire that's diagonally across from the one that went flat. If you have plenty of rocks, block both wheels on the opposite axle.
Tip
If you have a digital camera (or a cell phone with a built-in camera) snap a picture before you start disassembling everything. That way, you'll have a ready reference guide of how things should look when they go back together.
Step 3: Assemble tools and remove wheel cover
Lay out your spare tire, jack, and lug wrench. Many tires feature a locking lug nut to guard against theft. To remove, use the special key tool-the car's manual will specify where it's located.
Step 4: Loosen the lug nuts
Most lug nuts follow the righty-tighty/lefty-loosey rule. Attach the lug wrench to a nut, and turn the wrench counterclockwise. Repeat with each lug nut until all the nuts are loosened.
Step 5: Place and operate the jack
Refer to the owner's manual for the best spot to place the jack-typically along the frame, very close to the flat tire. Jack the car up until the wheel is off the ground.
Warning
Never get under the car when it's on a jack. Since it's fairly unstable in this position, keep other people away until the car is safely on the ground.
Step 6: Remove lug nuts and tire
Remove the lug nuts one at a time, and keep them together in a spot where they won't roll away or disappear. Then remove the flat.
Step 7: Mount the spare
Mount the spare tire onto the wheel lugs. You may need to jack the car up some more to slip on the spare tire.
Tip
Check the tire pressure on your spare regularly. That way, it won't be flat when you need it.
Step 8: Replace lugs and lower the car
Replace one lug nut at a time. Begin tightening each by hand, then continue with the lug wrench. Lower your car to the ground, and finish tightening the lugs in opposite pairs, to ensure uniform pressure. Once you're done, replace the hubcap.
Step 9: Clean up
Remove the objects blocking the wheels, and place the tools and the flat tire in your trunk.
Step 10: Hit the road
Your wheel is ready, but you won't be able to drive as quickly on a spare. Check your owner's manual or the tire itself to determine the spare's top speed, and get yourself to the nearest garage so they can patch or replace your tire!
Did You Know?
In Texas Hold 'em, a "flat tire" means you were initially dealt a jack and a four - in any suit. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
This is a good video for people who don't have experience at changing a Flat tire.
You should tighten them in a star pattern, not clockwise like they showed. If you number the lug nuts 1 through 5 going clock wise, it should be 1, 3, 5, 2, 4. Do 2 rounds of this, first snug with the wrench, but not firmly tightened. Then Firmly tightened. Dont crank on it as you can break the bolts right off. There are five or more for a reason, they share the load. :)
He did them in star pattern, at 2:46 (after lower the jack)
1:55 2:41 i remember answering that on my ASVAB and learning it from my father. Always loosen and tighten the lug nut directly across from the one you just loosened/tightened never in a circle.
lol roadside flares... im not driving the fucking jeep from Jurassic Park lady
Lol, this is the exact car that my tire blew out on
You look a lot like sal vulcano from impractical jokers
@@MellieMonroe his picture is sal
My car didn’t come with a lug nut wrench. I have a flat tire and I have no way of changing my tire. This is a nightmare!!
I don't have a polaroid. I am screwed
Very helpful. Thank you

@omfgiown1 the point of it is to have a temporary fix so u can drive to a place where it can be professorially fixed.

where the 2021 homies at
did anyone catch the righty-tighty lefty-loosey arrows are both going the same way ....... FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLL
colin m yes. Instantly
thanks this is brill :)
Thank you
i think dealing with cars is quite boring, but i feel like how to change a tire is something i should know.
@Ks42z lol didn't notice until you pointed it out
If the nuts are tight, you don't want to be forcing things when the car is jacked up.
Lol. What phone doesn't have a camera now :P
10 steps ? i do this in one step...step 1. I chage the tire, the end :D
dude...0:32, it shows its a cr-v more specifically it is a 02 model or newer, since my mom has this exact car
Why is the spare wheel (5th tyre) is always a stainless steel tyre instead of aluminium?
2:10 the guy his self is under the car
fix-a-flat owns i used it in my tire that got a nail in it and ive been running it for half a year now
Don´t worry, its a movie! He is probably a stuntman ;)
Shouldn't you jack the vehicle up first?
This is super extra. Pull your jack and tire out of the trunk and get to work. Wait guys. I gotta get my bricks to prevent rolling. Bit*h please
Chuck Norris must see this.
SOMEONE HELP ME I HAVE A FLAT TIRE! I got a flat tire in my fully packed school bus, which frightened the students, and they waited for me as I changed the tire. Due to the weight, I had all 72 people get off of the bus.
Luigi and Guido should see this. LOL
"Inset motorsports pit crew joke here"
This would be great if I wanted to know how to jack up a car. I want to see the full operation. Misleading title

Did you know,Howcast made videos that could be understood by a 3 yr old

There is such a thing as an American dictionary. It's called the New Oxford American Dictionary.
There is nothing wrong with neither AmE, BrE, CanE, nor any other type of formally spoken English.
Why do you feel so strongly that the English you speak is the best?
Furthermore, the OED did denounce the use of "-ise" over "-ize," and no one really cares about "-yse" or "-yze." I believe that you are incorrect in labeling these spelling differences as being strictly American.
Huh
Do not ever get underneath the car while its on the jack, unless you have a magnificent jewfro. It will protect you.
second
video is wack
Lame fact
I thought this was obvious...
Why were you watching it then?
