Change A Flat Tire Checklist

    • Some are easier to remove than others. If you can't remove your hubcap by hand, you may need a socket to loosen the bolt covers. Put the socket over the covers and loosen - you may need to do more than one in order to pry the hubcap loose.
    • ;Use the lug wrench by placing it on the tire’s lug nuts.
    • ;Check your owner’s manual of your vehicle on how to correctly place the jack under your car. Typically, the manual is located in the glove compartment.
    • ;Crank the tire jack until the wheel is high above ground, enough for you to safely remove it.
    • ;Remove the loosened lug nuts from the wheel. You should be able to do this by hand.
    • ;Line up the lugs with the holes in the wheel and slide on.
    • ;Lower the tire jack until the wheel is firmly touching the ground.
    • ;The lug nuts have to be fastened securely on for safety, so use your lug wrench for this.

    • ...just in case this happens again!
