He took his loved one on a long drive for weekly vacation. But the tire of the car got punctured. At that time he looked around and saw that there was no car servicing center nearby. Meanwhile, it is getting late, if the evening goes down, the possibility of danger may increase. So you have to change the wheel of the car as soon as possible. Instead of getting stuck in such a situation, learn for yourself how to change the wheel of a car. Then you will get rid of danger and trouble quickly.
Initial arrangements
If the tire of the car is punctured, first remove the car from the road and take it to a safe distance, so that there is no problem in moving the car on the road and other cars can not damage your car by pushing. Then check if the car’s parking brake is fully applied. Car parking brakes help keep the car stable. Then find half a piece of brick or stone in the vicinity and place the brick on the front and back of the two wheels of the car.
This will make the car more stable. Now take out the spare wheel of the car. Before changing the wheel, check if there are any defects in this spare or extra wheel. Do not try to lift the wheel with both hands, but roll it to one side and bring it to the damaged wheel. Take out the necessary parts to change the wheel of the car and take it to the wheel.
Elevate the car by placing the jack in the right place
Find a flat place to change car tires or wheels. The car has to be jacked up by leaving the car on a flat surface. Otherwise, the new wheel of the car cannot be placed in the right place in the right place. And if the wheel of the car is not placed in the right place in the right way, but the risk of an accident will remain. You have to change the wheel of the car by keeping the car on the plane as shown in the picture below.
To change the tire or wheel, the wheel of the car has to be pulled a little above the plane. For this, you have to use the lever jack on the side of the wheel of the car. Check your car’s user manual to find out where your car’s jack point is located. Place the jack at the nearest jack point to the wheel that needs to be replaced. Do not raise the wheel immediately after installing the jack.
First, check if there is any hub cap on the wheel of your car. If you have a hub cap, take it off and loosen the wheel screw a little. If the wheel is raised, it is not possible to loosen or open the log nut. Use a tire iron or wrench to loosen or open the log nut. Do not loosen the log nut completely and keep it loosely added. Once all the lug nuts are loosened, you will jack up your car.
Open the nut in the right way
Keep pushing the jack-up parts of the car to keep the car a little higher. If the car is slowly getting higher, the wheel of the car may become lighter and move. Make sure the car is in a stable condition. When the car is high enough, loosen the wheel bolts and pull the wheel out carefully. When removing the wheel, block the footpath under the wheel. Then it will not fall off when opening the wheel. And there will be no chance of being harmed.
Now it’s time to fix the wheels
After removing the damaged or punctured wheel, bring the extra or spare wheel as space. Attach the wheel to the lag by keeping the wheel facing outwards, and raising the foot slightly to the bottom. Check if the wheel sticks properly. If you have a rubber hammer in your car, use it to attach the wheel to the wheel. Now attach the lag bolts to the lug nut.
Stop…don’t tighten all the bolts right now.
Attach the tire to the lag and hold it as tightly as you can with your hands and tighten the lag with your hands. When it is tightened as much as it can be tightened by hand, bring down the car jack and bring it down to the ground level. Then tighten each log nut with a tire iron or wrench. When tightening the log nut, tighten it in a criss-cross way. This means that with a log-nut tight, do not tighten the watch next to it.
After tightening a nut, tighten the nut on the opposite side of the horizon. When all is tightened horizontally in this way, place the damaged wheel on the trunk of the vehicle along with the jack tool and tire iron, and other equipment.
