Ok I'll use this thread to teach all the car related things you can do without the need of special tools, things like controlling the levels of coolant and changing your own oil.

Flat tire change Partner!5g79RrnVLE 29/10/2009(Thu)02:59:00 No.340413

I've decided to begin with something easier, I have big problems on translating some of the pieces needed and parts of the car so let's begin with:

Flat tire change...

Normally all the needed tools come with the car, but anyway.

Jack - Usually comes with the car (At least in EU)

A Wrench of the size of the lug nut - Usually comes with the car (At least in EU)

Spare wheel - What are you going to put if you don't have one of theese? Air?

Whenever you get a puncture, you have to take out the flat one and put in the spare tire (NOTE: Everytime you inflate the wheels remember to inflate this one too, to keep it in perfect status)

So let's bgin

First you have to take out (If your car has) that plastic thing covering the wheel, it's easy, just get something thin and metallic between the wheeel and the cover and pull the cover, Once we've done that, soften the lugs, but do not take them out or the whole car will fall.

After this use the jack to lift the side of the flat tire, when the car has been lifted enough (practically when the tire is not touching the ground) take out the lug nuts and take out the old flattened wheel and put the spare one or the new one. Tighten the nuts and put down the car, after that just tighten a bit more the lug nuts and youe done
ready to go
