I was on my way to a first date with a girl (still together) and right under her house my tire flattened. This was the first time it happened to me so I was clueless and she came down to help and thanks to you Samo we changed it successfully together and it led to a memorable first date which led to a second one. So thank you Samo!
Just got a flat tire while on the freeway. I was able to change my flat to my spare with the help of this video. Thank you SO much for a quick and easy video!!
@@adamkennedy5466 Thankfully my friend let me use her AAA so they are on the way. Was watching this is case it was going to take forever and then I’d just try and do it myself lol. Now I’m just hunkered down with all the doors locked waiting for them to get here...I’m going to be paying real close attention when they change it though 😂
It’s a shame that this type of stuff isn’t taught in school... Most of what’s taught in normal public school is in most cases just interesting facts but they’re facts that don’t help you in life... Won’t help you get a job, won’t help you become smarter about managing your money/investing, won’t help you defend yourself in street fight or save someone else’s life, cook, lift weights safely, hunt, fish, etc etc... School doesn’t even teach you how to swim!
@@becarefulwhatyoufish4764 no shit sherlock because it is called opportunity cost. All these things should be taught by ur parents or self-learn. Why tf shud a school, which is alr packed with so many subjects, spend more time n money on things that can be taught by ur parents? U wanna go woke on how these things should be taught in school blablabla how abt watch the video and learn on ur own. If u dont have a car, that's even more stupid for the school to teach
My tire exploded when i was driving on my way to get them changed for the winter, this video saved my life and taught me how to change a tire! Thank you mr fixitsamo i owe you my life
46 years old and never learned to change a tire. Drove all the way from Boston to Alaska without learning. I'm about to drive from Alaska to Seattle in a few weeks and figured it was time to learn! Better late than never...?
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: This is a helpful video, but lug nuts should always be tightened in a star pattern. It ensures that the wheel is seated properly on all the studs. If one side is tightened first, and the other side happens to not be fully seated, the edge of the hole can get caught on the stud threads. When you tighten those nuts, they tighten against the threads and feel secure, but once on the road the wheel will settle on the studs and the all the lug nuts will be loose. This is also why it is a good idea to check lug nuts 50-100 Km after changing a tire.
Correct, there's no pattern for loosening. I would add, though, that if you're removing lug nuts that may be seized or partially seized, move each one just enough to be sure that it's not seized before fully loosening any of them. This will prevent excess pressure on remaining lug nuts that would make removing a seized nut even more difficult.
Yes. The goal is to keep the wheel as flat as possible. For four lug nuts you would start by tightening two that are diagonally across from each other.
Thank you so much for this video!🙌 Today I changed my first car tyre at 15 years old! Goodluck to all the other youngsters who change theirs for the first time💛 Girl power!⭐️
Just had a flat on the fwy in the middle of nowhere. AAA was gona take 3 to 4 hours in 99 degree weather. I had never changed a flat myself so I looked up how to replace a spare tire and man did u save my family and my ass. God bless this video and u sir.
I popped my tire on the way to school, going to use this tutorial when i get out to change my tire and get home safley. Thanks samo for the awesome tutorial!
Good job!! I’m scared to even try, as I’m afraid I won’t tighten it enough, or something. My dad never taught me how, and AAA only gives you a certain number of calls.
Can't thank you enough! I'm vacationing in a remote part of Iceland right now and the gravel roads punctured one of the tires. I have to admit that I lost my tire changing skills but found them again with your awesome video! 🇮🇸
fix it Samo you are actually my savior! my sister and I got a puncture at 1am and your video saved us when AA were being pricks and not picking up the phone. keep doing what you’re doing. absolute beast x
Thank you so much for this video. My dad showed me how to change a tire last year when mine blew up while I was driving, but I was so flustered and shaken up from nearly crashing my car that I didn't retain anything he told me. I woke up this morning to a flat tire and now after watching this video I see how easy it is to change it. Thank you again!
Hi, Thank you for this amazing tutorial. When there's no man around, you've got do, what you've got to do. At 65 years of age i changed a tyre for the first time.!😉 (with the help of my lovely daughter and your tutorial) In her words, she hated it, i loved it! One thing off my bucket list.✔️ Thanks again! Stay blessed.
Thanks for the straight to the point video! Just had to change my first tire ever and I'm a whole grown up lol. Always had someone to do it for me. Walked out to my car in the garage with a complete flat! I somehow ran over a screw. Fortunately, I was at home and not on the road so I was able to take my time with low stress. Discovered that my spare did not have much air!!! I never thought about checking the spare's air pressure. So I learned two things. Fortunately I recently purchased a portable air pump so I was able to get air in the spare and drive to get my tire plugged. Plan to go get a good roadside kit for my car. I used the jack and tire iron/crank that came in my car, which got the job done but not the best quality.
Definitely had to get a refresher course by watching this video today 😂 thanks brother!!! Only piece of advice I would add is to tighten your bolts in a "star pattern" to make sure everything sits perfectly. Again, thank you for this video. You saved me a ton of time with some of your tips and saved me a a lot of worry on my hour long drive home on the highway. 🙏😇🙏
Omg thank you so much I been driving for 10 years and this was my first time changing my own flat tire and let me tell you this video was so help full it gave me the confidence to do it on my own thanks again
Whenever my family fixes a car problem another one shows up so i finally got my first car and now my dad's car has a flat tire. Decided to learn how to change it, thanks man👍.
This was a great video on how to change a tire. I couldn't figure where to put the jack and your video made it easy to find where to put the jack. Thanks 🙏
did you see the spare was a bit flat? So b4 you go on a trip be sure the spare has air in it. The lug wrench is there on the crank so you dont need to get one. Also maybe have a small tarp to put on the ground so when you kneel you dont get dirty. I got a flat at 430 am in the rain b4 work as a city bus driver it was a mess. The tow company was on shift change i waited an hour the did it myself. I had a little truck and did not know that the crank goes in a little hole above the license plate... it drops the tire down. I have done a dry run on changing a tire during early summer wver since si i can change it fast.
To get them loose, use your body weight. Place the wrench so it’s roughly horizontal, and step on it. You only need a couple of inches, then you can use your hand
@@sampayne5777 Last time I had a flat on the road, my gf stood on while I held it and we managed to loosen it enough. Also happened in the middle of east Texas, in 1993, no cell phones.
Like @herinetta, you helped my friend and I change our first tire too! One thing not mentioned here: If the tire bolts are too tight, you might need to stand and jump on the tool to loosen them! You also need to do the same when you tighten them back up again. Good Luck!
Just experienced my very first flat tire on the road in the middle if the night. I went by instinct and changed it by myself. Really tired. Came to see a video to see if I did everything correctly and I'm very happy cause I did not. I panic a little cause there was a different star type screw but I found out how to untied it. Very estresful but I'm so happy i did it myself.
Female here, learning this so I don’t have to rely on paying money everytime for someone to come fix it. And it’s honestly just a good skill to know. Thanks man. 🤘
It's annoying after your car has had a service because they machine tighten the nuts so when it comes to trying to get them off it's futile then you gotta call roadside assist 🙄
There’s a first time for everything. Anyone who is an expert on anything had a first time.

Coronos bro . it's dosent matter to have a normal loosing lug nut when open it right ? just follow the star pattern when tightening ?
Correct, there's no pattern for loosening. I would add, though, that if you're removing lug nuts that may be seized or partially seized, move each one just enough to be sure that it's not seized before fully loosening any of them. This will prevent excess pressure on remaining lug nuts that would make removing a seized nut even more difficult.
Coronos tq bro . how about if we only have four lug nuts point . do we have to tightening based on opposite pattern ?
Yes. The goal is to keep the wheel as flat as possible. For four lug nuts you would start by tightening two that are diagonally across from each other.

Thank you!!!! it was very helpful for being the first time I have change a tire!
So 3 most important things to have here (I think).
1)Spare Tire
2)Lug Wrench
3)Car Jack (thing that lifts the car)
did you see the spare was a bit flat? So b4 you go on a trip be sure the spare has air in it. The lug wrench is there on the crank so you dont need to get one. Also maybe have a small tarp to put on the ground so when you kneel you dont get dirty. I got a flat at 430 am in the rain b4 work as a city bus driver it was a mess.

This was extremely helpful. Thank you.
Hardest part is loosening the lugs. With the power tools many repair shops use it can be tough.
rizon72 how tf do you do it I gotta flat rn and I can’t loosen them up at all lol
To get them loose, use your body weight. Place the wrench so it’s roughly horizontal, and step on it. You only need a couple of inches, then you can use your hand
Yup, I just bent the crap out of the wrench, nuts didn’t move.

Last resort is to jump on it and hopefully it will turn
A stomp always helps for sure.
Try to carry around a pipe in your trunk so you can slide over the wrench to get more leverage
This is when it really pays to have a fat girl friend to put some of dat Big Leg on tha lug wrench

There’s a first time for everything. Anyone who is an expert on anything had a first time. No shame in never changing a tire before-the reason is a combination of maintaining your car well and having good luck.

U did almost all things right but the main part which u did wrong was the tightning part. U must always tight the nuts diagonally for proper fit.

You don't change the tyre (English spelling) you change the wheel.
