How to Change a Car Tire by Yourself?
1 Answers
Steps to change a car tire by yourself: 1. Place the jack on the designated chassis support point and use the wrench to loosen the lug nuts on the wheel rim in a diagonal pattern, but do not remove them completely; 2. If hand strength is insufficient, you can step on the wrench with one foot, using your body weight to apply pressure, making it easier to loosen tight lug nuts; 3. The diagonal pattern means after loosening the first lug nut, the second one to be loosened must be the one diagonally opposite to the first, ensuring the tire remains balanced for even removal or installation. Before changing the tire, the driver should park the vehicle in a safe area, ensure the handbrake is engaged, place wheel chocks in front of the front wheels or behind the rear wheels to prevent rolling, turn on the hazard lights, and set up a warning triangle.
