Steps for Changing a Flat Tire

Changing a flat tire can be a daunting task; however, you can get back to the road safely and quickly by following these steps.

Equip Yourself with the Required Tools 

It may be difficult for you to change tires without the owner’s manual, tire kit, wheel chock blocks, and tire pressure gauge. So you need to keep them in your car.

Find a Safe Location

When you notice that your tire deflates or pops, you need to drive carefully by turning on the hazard light to a safe location. Once pulled over, you can park your car on level ground to get the tire changed.  When parked, apply the wheel wedges.

Unscrew the Lug Nuts on the Flat Tire

Pry off your hubcaps or wheel cover by getting help from the owner’s manual to follow the procedure correctly. Use a lug wrench to unscrew the lug nuts without losing them fully. 

Put the Jack Under the Vehicle to Lift

Get help from the owner’s manual to safely place the jack near the flat tire. Turn the jack handle clockwise and slowly until the flat tire is raised to at least six inches off the ground. 

Unscrew The Lug Nuts

Once the car is lifted, you need to lose and unscrew the lug nuts. 

Remove the Flat Tire

After removing the lug nuts, grab the flat and remove it. Pull it gently towards yourself until it is separated from the hub. 

Now, Install the Spare Tire 

Now put the spare tire on the hub by lining up the rim with the lug bolts. Once it is aligned, push the spare tire onto the wheelbase as much as you can until the lug bolts show through the rim.

Tighten the Lug Nuts Manually

Tighten the lug nuts – lightly with hands – back on the lug bolts and screw them manually. Don’t tighten them with the wrench.

Bring the Vehicle to the Ground

Still, the car body will be supported by a jack.

Tighten the Lug Nuts

When the tires do not support the vehicle’s entire weight, you can tighten lug nuts by wrench, turning clockwise. Remove the jack and use full force to tighten the lug nuts.

Stow the Equipment

Stow your equipment like a jack, a lug wrench, wheel wedges, your flat tire, and probably a hubcap in your vehicle before driving away.

Get your Tire Checked

For checking the tire pressure, you can use a tire pressure gauge. Use the owner’s manual to see the recommended pressure. If it’s low, move to a service station to get your tires filled. Once you use a spare tire, it is recommended to visit mechanics so that they will see whether it needs repair or replacement.

Remember that if you don’t have a spare tire, proper equipment, and expertise for changing a flat tire, you need to call SPN America Roadside Assistance for help. Our technicians would take around 15-30 minutes to complete the above task efficiently.
