The method to remove a car tire: 1. The car owner needs to prepare all the tools and equipment required for the entire process of removing the car tire, including a tire wrench, small hook, jack, etc.; 2. Take out the small hook, hook it into the hole of the screw cap, and then pull it outward to remove the screw cap; 3. Take out the tire wrench, place the specialized tire wrench on the screw, and turn it counterclockwise to loosen all the screws; 4. Take out the jack, locate the support point of the reinforcement on the car chassis, and then use the jack to lift the vehicle; 5. Take out the tire wrench again, remove the previously loosened screws that secure the tire, and then the car tire can be taken off.
I've helped a friend change a tire before, and the steps are quite simple but must be followed carefully. First, park the car on a flat surface and engage the handbrake to prevent rolling. Then, use a wrench to loosen the wheel bolts counterclockwise by one turn—don't remove them completely. Locate the jacking point on the car's chassis and slowly raise the vehicle with the jack until the tire is off the ground. Only then should you fully unscrew the bolts and carefully remove the old tire with both hands, placing it aside before installing the spare or new tire. When mounting the new tire, align the bolt holes, hand-tighten the bolts first, and then use the wrench to tighten them in a crisscross pattern, ensuring none are missed. Finally, lower the car and re-tighten the bolts for security. The whole process takes about 15 minutes, and you'll need a jack and the right wrench—safety first to avoid getting crushed. Practice makes perfect, so it's good to get familiar with the steps. Also, check the spare tire's pressure monthly, just in case.
