Which Direction to Turn the Spare Tire?

[EliDella]

The lug nuts on passenger cars loosen in a counterclockwise direction: place your left hand facing the center of the tire, grip the wrench with your right hand and lift upwards to loosen the nuts. For large trucks, the lug nuts differ on the left and right sides - the left side (driver's side) has reverse threads while the right side has standard threads. This means tightening follows the vehicle's forward rolling direction, while loosening follows the reverse direction. Precautions before changing tires: Before changing a tire, first park the vehicle in a relatively safe and level location. Then engage the parking brake, shift into park, and turn the ignition to the "lock" position. Activate the hazard lights and place a triangular warning sign at a sufficient distance from the vehicle. Checking onboard tools: Next, inspect the onboard jack, tool kit, and spare tire. Depending on the vehicle model, spare tires are typically located: under the trunk floor, suspended beneath the rear of the vehicle, or mounted outside the trunk door.
