A flat tyre can leave you stranded on the roadside, but with the right knowledge and tools, you can often fix it yourself. This guide will walk you through the process of safely changing a flat tyre or performing a temporary repair to get you back on the road.
Gather Necessary Tools and Materials You'll need a spare tyre, jack, lug wrench, wheel chocks, gloves, flashlight, and possibly a Tyre pressure gauge and Tyre sealant. Having proper equipment makes the job simpler.
Inspect the Flat Tyre Before jacking up the vehicle, inspect the flat Tyre for any objects like nails that may be puncturing it. Removing these objects can allow you to potentially plug the hole and re-inflate the Tyre rather than fully replacing it. run flat Tyre
Position the Vehicle Properly Park on a flat tyre to repair properly on solid & level surface. Engage the parking brake and place wheel chocks in front and behind the Tyres staying on the ground. This prevents rolling.
Loosen the Lug Nuts Use the lug wrench to loosen the nuts by turning counterclockwise. Don't remove them fully yet - just break the resistance.
Jack Up the Vehicle Place the jack in the proper spot under the frame. Jack up the vehicle until the Tyre repair is completely off the ground. Make sure the vehicle is stable.
Remove the Tyre Fully unscrew the lug nuts by hand and set them aside. Pull the flat Tyre away from the wheel mount.
Mount the Spare Tyre Put the spare Tyre on the wheel mount flush against the hub. Re-tighten the lug nuts by hand until snug.
Lower the Vehicle Turn the jack release valve counterclockwise to slowly lower the vehicle onto the new Tyre. Ensure it's resting on the ground before removing the jack.
Secure the Spare Use the lug wrench to tighten the nuts in a star pattern. Check the torque if you have a torque wrench. Refer to the owner's manual for lug nut torque specifications.
Re-inflate the Tyre Use a pressure gauge to check the spare's inflation. Fill it to the vehicle's recommended Tyre pressure.
