Is it clockwise or counterclockwise to remove a tire?
1 Answers
Removing a tire is counterclockwise, while installing a tire is clockwise. Tightening the lug nuts when installing a tire is not about depth but about torque. Bolts and nuts of different specifications and grades have specified torque range values. Tighten according to the bolt's grade to ensure normal driving. Precautions for changing tires: 1. Park the car in a safe location: Before changing a tire, first park the car in a relatively safe and flat area. Then engage the parking brake, shift into park, and turn the ignition to the "lock" position. Turn on the hazard lights and place a triangular warning sign at a sufficient distance from the car. 2. Check the tire-changing tools: Next, check the jack, tool kit, and spare tire that come with the car. Depending on the vehicle model, the spare tire is usually located under the trunk floor, hanging beneath the rear of the car, or mounted outside the trunk door.
