The best way to do it if you work on cars, is to do it 10 times slower, tell the car owner the spare is worn and order a new spare from a place that takes three hours to drop it off, then charge them twice as much for it, along with a labor fee.

my first ever flat tire was when i was 17 and the damn spare tire had a different lug nut pattern than what was actually on my car 🤦♂️ i was losing my mf mind trying to figure it out and i thought i was just incompetent or something until the tow truck guy said yea this spare tire is basically useless 😭 smh dont let that happen to you
@Esiddik10 ай бұрын
SAFETY TIP! After you raise the car slide the spare tire under the car as a stopper , if the jack was to slip it the car would drop on the tire first , Once the spare is off trade the tires , now by placing the spare under the car ( along the metal frame ) Bonus TIP! If the lugs are on too tight by hand, use your foot / or your even your weight by gently standing on the wrench to open it. - car girl 😅

And when you do this, you hope the last guy to tighten the lugs didn’t over torque them so you can actually get them off with the goofy wrench that comes with the car or that the rims haven’t welded themselves to the brake disk. I had the latter happen a couple of times changing tires and I needed a piece of a 4X4 to knock the rims loose.

Had this happen to me the time I helped my neighbor. The previous guy torqued them down so hard I had to put a piece of steel pipe over the wrench for leverage.

Typically you don't want to put a donut spare on a drive wheel (rear wheel drive/from wheel drive) so if you have a flat on a drive wheel. Change a non drive tire to the donut then use the good regular tire you have on hand to then change the flat drive tire.

Yep, a lot of the new cars you only get eight air compressor. If you have a blowout you have to call roadside assistance. You just need to buy use a rim and a tire and put it in there. They’re saving money by not giving you a spare tire and they’re making a car lighter but it’s an inconvenience because now you have to call a tow truck, but they want to charge you for the same price for the vehicle without that spare tire and that Jack lug wrench but just go to the junkyard get yourself a good used tire and rim and throw it in the trunk with a jack lug wrench you have to worry about it
