Introduction

  • A flat tyre can ruin your day, but changing it is easier than you think.

What You Need

  • Spare wheel

Step by Step Guide

  1. Find a safe place – Pull over on level ground, away from traffic.
  2. Turn on hazard lights – Warn other drivers.
  3. Loosen the wheel nuts – Turn them anti-clockwise slightly before jacking up the car.
  4. Jack up the car – Lift the car until the flat tyre is off the ground.
  5. Remove the wheel – Fully unscrew the nuts and take off the tyre.
  6. Fit the spare – Line up the holes, replace the nuts, and tighten them.

What If You Don’t Have a Spare?
