I have a flat and I've fixed to change it myself for the first time. I'm tired of getting men to do it for me. It doesn't look that difficult, but I've never done it earlier so please give me some tips! Especially other women who enjoy done it... because we understand respectively other better. :)
Answers: Make sure the car is on a horizontal surface. It is OK to drive it a short distance slowly to get onto flat ground if here is a steep slope. It sounds like you are at home so this might not be a problem. Put the nouns in first or low gear and verbs on the handbrake /emergency brake. Now read the owner's manual. A bit of foot cream before starting help the clean up after.
If at hand is concrete or road paving under the coup¨¦, you are good to jump but if it is just pasture look around for a flat piece of wood about the size of a paperback original to go below the jack. This spreads the pressure a bit and stops the jack from sinking into the ground, specially if the ground is soft. If the jack has a wide open base or the ground is frozen this might not be needed.
Look for the jacking points on the car. These will be holes surrounded by the bodywork under the rank of the doors and just at the back the front wheels and in recent times in front of the backbone wheels. Some small cars enjoy only one on respectively side, larger cars have two on respectively side. There will probably be a rubber or plastic plug in these jacking points, the points will be tubular holes extending possibly a hand's length into the bodywork.
Get a brick or even better, two and place one in front of the reins on the far side of the car from the flat, right up against the tire. Put the second brick at the back the same reins. A large garden stone or big lump of wood will do if you own no brick. If the ground is very flat you can do in need them but it is a good hypothesis on a slight slope. This prevents the car from moving when you jack it up.
Open the luggage compartment and nick out the wrench that fits the nuts or bolts that hold the wheels on.
Place the wrench on one of the reins nuts and try to turn it anti-clockwise / counterclockwise. If you can move it you should be able to complete the career. It is OK to put your foot on the end of the wrench and push down. Do not remove the nut entirely if you can move it, lately leave it in attendance still snug. Try the three or four other nuts as well. If you can't move them, you are stuck beside having to find someone else to do the job for you.
If you can move them adjectives, get the jack and the spare helm out. The spare wheel will be held contained by place in some cars by a long rod that screw into a thread below it, or it may be held in by a clamp or a spare reins nut. Place your book size bit of wood on the ground and then put the side arm of the jack into the jacking point. You may enjoy to wind it up or down for a while to get it to walk in. Put the dais of the jack on the wood or just above and next wind the jack knob until the jack starts to lift the vehicle. Keep winding until the reins is well bad the ground, but don't go too dignified. You have already loosened the joystick nuts so they should be fairly graceful to take past its sell-by date. Put then somewhere that they won't be accidentally kicked underneath the car or away.
Pull the flat pedals toward you and let it drop humanely onto the ground. Roll it away and then roll up the spare controls. It does not matter whether the tire stopcock goes up or down, not here or right. You will have to pull it slightly by hand. If you can't move up the wheel far plenty, lean it on the inner parts and lower the car slightly until it it nearly match, you can probably manage it afterwards.
When it is in place, put one of the nuts on and screw it surrounded by just by appendage. Then put the rest on. Tighten them up by hand.
Now lower the saloon part instrument so that the tire is in contact next to the ground. Put the wrench on the nuts and tighten them. Do every second one if there are five similar to 1-3-5-2-4, if there are four, work diagonally, resembling 1-3-2-4. Since the car is still on the jack, do not use a large amount of force, but get them nice and snug, conceivably like a lid on a jar.
Now you can lower the motor all the means of access and remove the jack. Go round all the rudder nuts and get them as tight as you can short standing on the wrench. Put everything away and you're done.
Couple of days later, check the joystick nuts for tightness again.
