Do you know how to change a Tyre? :
Step 1: Find a solid/level surface. Turn on your hazard lights.
Step 2: Apply the parking brake and put your vehicle into “Park” If you have a “Manual transmission” put your vehicle into 1st gear.
Step 3: Place a heavy object in front of and behind all tyres. E.g Wheel Wedges / Bricks etc.
Step 4: Take out the spare tyre and jack.
Step 5: Place the jack under the vehicle. Make sure the jack is placed firmly on the ground.
Step 6: Remove the Hubcap and loosen the wheel nuts counterclockwise.
Step 7: Raise the vehicle with the jack so that the tyre is lifted off the ground.
Step 8: Remove the tyre, place the spare tyre on the Hub.
Step 9: Tighten the nuts by hand until they are all placed. Use a wheel wrench to tighten the nuts in a star pattern, one across from another.
Step 10: Lower the vehicle gently without applying full weight on the tyre, tighten the nuts so that they are secure.
Step 11: Fully lower the vehicle and remove the jack.
