Loosen the Wheel Nuts
To Loosen the Wheel Nuts                                           Righty Tighty

1. Position the tire iron so the
   handle rests at three o’clock
2. Grasp the wrench near the end
   and push it down in a clockwise
   direction
3. Loosen the wheel nuts about a
   half turn of the wrench


                                     Lefty Loosey




                                             Did you know? Loosening the wheel nuts
                                             before raising the car prevents unnecessary
                                             strain on the emergency brake.
Raise the Car
                                                    Small notch on car frame

To Raise the Car
1. Position the jack’s base on a
   level surface
2. Insert the handle and slowly
   crank clockwise


                                    Raise the
                                   car about 2
                                   to 3 inches



                                          Caution: Never get under a vehicle when
                                          the vehicle is on the jack.

Remove the Wheel Nuts
Using Your Hands
1. Unscrew and remove the nuts
2. Place them in a safe spot




                                 Caution: If you’ve been driving, be
                                 careful handling the wheel nuts – they
                                 could be hot!
Replace the tire
To Replace the Tire
1. Grab the tire with and slide it
   off the lug bolts
2. Lay the tire on its side
3. Place the spare tire onto the car




                                       Note: Make sure the air valve is facing out
                                       and away from the car.

                                       If it’s facing inward, the tire is facing the
                                       wrong way!
Return the Wheel Nuts
To return the wheel nuts
1. Double-check the wheel to
   ensure it’s all the way back on
   the hub.
2. Reinstall the wheel nuts and
   tighten them using only your
   hands.




                                     Note: Remember to tighten using only your
                                     hands!

                                     You’ll use the tire iron to tighten once the
                                     car is on the ground.
Lower The Car
To Lower the Car
1. Turn the jack handle counter-
   clockwise
2. Remove the jack from under the
   car




                                    Note: You’ll know the car is all the way
                                    down when the jack comes loose.
Tighten The Wheel Nuts
To Tighten the Nuts
1. Select a wheel nut
2. Tighten the wheel nut as tight as
   you can

Tighten the wheel nut diagonally
oppose the wheel nut you just
tightened




                                       Note: The crisscross pattern helps ensure
                                       the wheel is correctly on the hub

Editor's Notes

  1. IntroductionSooner or later, everyone gets a flat tire. And chances are it won’t happen a good time. I can hear some of you saying “Why should I learn to change my tire? I have road side assistance.” Roadside assistance isn’t always reliable, especially during the holidays or in remote areas. Consider the average response time for roadside assistance is thirty to forty minutes. In most cases, you can change your tire in less than ten! The best time to learn to change your tire is before you get a flat tire. That’s what this course is all about.We have a lot to cover so let’s get started!wel
  2. Safety First If your tire goes flat while you’re driving, pull over to a dry, level place as far from the road as possible. It’s better to drive a short distance on a flat tire than risk your life changing the tire in an unsafe area. Once you’re safely parked: turn off the car;apply the parking brake;turn on the emergency lights; and,open the car hood. 
  3. Step 1: Gather your toolsGet started by taking the necessary tools from your trunk. Roadside kits vary, but you need four items to successfully change your tire. Those items are: a spare tire;car jack;tire iron; and, wheel chocks.Roadside kits can include additional accessories such as: road flares;gloves;flashlights; and,jumper cables.You don’t need them, but they’re good to have.
  4. Step 2: Chock the wheelsWheel chocks are wedges of sturdy material placed behind the wheels to prevent accidental movement. If you don’t have chocks you can use bricks or wood blocks as long as they’re heavy enough to prevent the car from moving.To chock the wheels, place the chocks on the wheel diagonally opposite of the wheel you’re replacing.For example, if you’re replacing the right rear wheel, you’d chock the front left wheel.
  5. Step 3: Loosen the wheel nutsTo loosen the wheel nuts:Position the tire iron so the handle rests at three o’clock.Grasp the wrench near the end and push down in a counter clockwise direction. Remember: Righty tighty , lefty looseyLoosen the wheel nuts about a half turn of the wrench. They’re loose enough when you can turn them with your hands.
  6. Step 4: Raise the CarPosition the jack’s base on a solid, level surface near the tire you’re changing. Most cars will have a small notch where the jack fits under the car frame. This area has been specifically reinforced to accommodate the jack.Insert the handle into the jack and slowly crank clockwise until the wheel is high enough off the ground to remove the tire. Two to three inches should be enough.

  12. Step 7: Return the wheel nutsDouble-check the wheel to ensure it’s all the way back on the hub.Reinstall the wheel nuts and tighten them using only your hands. You don’t want to use the tire iron at this point.
  13. Step 8: Lower the carLower the car by slowly turn the jack handle counter-clockwise to lower the car. You’ll know the car is all the way down when the jack comes loose.You can now remove the jack from under the car.
  14. Step 9: Tighten the wheel nutsSelect a wheel nut – it doesn’t matter which one.Using the tire iron, tighten the wheel nut as tight as you can.Next, tighten the wheel nut diagonally oppose the wheel nut you just tightened. If you tire has an odd number of wheel nuts, just select the nut almost diagonally opposite.Continue this pattern for the remaining wheel nuts.
  15. Step 10: Clean up!That’s it. Check your time. How’d you do?Return the chocks, tire jack, tire iron and flat tire to their proper storage place in the trunk.The spare tire is not designed for long distances or speeds over 50 miles per hour. Once you’re back on the road, head to the nearest tire shop for professional servicing.
