How to Change a Car Tire by Yourself?

[LeBrooklyn]

Methods for changing a car tire by yourself: 1. Find a safe and level place to change the tire, ensuring a sturdy surface to prevent the car from rolling; 2. Engage the parking brake and shift the car into park. If the car is manual, shift into first gear or reverse; 3. Place a rock or spare tire in front of the front and rear tires; 4. Retrieve the spare tire and jack, placing the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be changed, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; 5. Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned directly under the vehicle and at a right angle to the ground; 6. Remove the hubcap and loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not fully remove them, just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when first loosening ensures the nuts turn, not the tire; 7. Fully loosen all nuts by turning them counterclockwise until they come off. Repeat this for all lug nuts, then remove them completely; 8. Place the spare tire onto the hub, carefully aligning the spare tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and tighten them by hand until all are concealed. Initially, the nuts should turn easily.
