What is the method for changing a car tire?
1 Answers
To change a car tire, first take out the spare tire, wrench, jack, and other necessary tools. If the tire bolts have anti-theft features, the owner needs to find the tool to remove them. Then, loosen the bolts of the damaged tire—just loosen them, do not remove them completely at this stage. Next, position the jack under the car, ensuring it is correctly placed and not pressing against the car's body panels. Once the car is lifted, remove all the bolts from the tire to be replaced and store them safely. Pull the wheel until it is completely detached. If the nuts are stuck, tap them gently with a hammer, being careful not to overdo it to avoid damaging the brake pads. As a precaution in case the jack fails, place the removed flat tire flat under the car. Finally, install the spare tire. Precautions when changing a car tire: Park the car on a flat surface or in a location where the operation can be performed conveniently without obstructing others, avoiding any possibility of the car rolling forward or backward. When tightening the bolts on the spare tire, first tighten all bolts to a uniform tightness, then fully tighten them in a diagonal sequence. Regularly inspect the spare tire, primarily checking tire pressure, wear, and any cracks. Replace the tire before the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. If there are fine cracks on the tire sidewall, avoid using it for long-distance or high-speed driving, as the sidewall is thinner and more prone to blowouts at high speeds.
