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.
I was just on roadside for a torn tire and this video saved my life! An officer came by to assist but I was almost done changing it. He double checked the bolts, told me I did great, and sent the tow truck away when they arrived. Thank you for this quick and easy tutorial! Wouldn’t have gotten it done without ya!!!
This was so helpful this morning as I got a flat tire bringing my kids to school. Got it done in under 10 minutes even though I’ve never changed a tire before. Thank you!
Look man ima be honest I usually don’t comment under nothing lol , but I had to change my first tire today and watching this got me right and I got my tire up less then 15 minutes appreciate you boss 💪🏾
Thank you. Had to change my first tire today. this video was great for walking me through it. Made something that was really intimidating to me actually super easy.
Thank you so much!!! It took me a lot longer than I thought it would (mostly because I wasn’t strong enough to loosen the nuts, had to stand on the wrench to get any to move), but I got there and am proud of myself! I got filthy in the process lol
I'm going to try this in the morning after I lower the tire from underneath my car. My kids father slashed my front left tire ealrier today and I was suppose to do grocery shopping today, but had no time to fix it so my dad took me to work. I'm watching videos on how to lower the spare tire and I came across your video. I absolutely have no clues about cars, but your video is very informative ans you make look easy! I thought there was going be alot of other things to do changing a tire lol well wish me luck 🤞
I got a flat a couple months ago and didn’t loosen the bolts prior to jacking and knocked my car down trying to undo them while it was jacked…so good advice lol
Got ahead of myself and was gonna tell everyone to make sure yiu tighten your lugs in the star pattern. But then i finished the video lol. Great advice brother.
@@a.puerto5667 it means when you tighten the tire on, you have to do so in a star shape as opposed to doing it in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction. This ensures it’s evenly torqued.
I absolutely love cars and I’m almost obsessed with them but have no physical experience working on them. This can feel embarrassing when I know there is so much stigma around guys that claim to be into cars but don’t do any of the work. Watching this video gives me some confidence that I’ll be able to change my tyre if I have to.
yea it’s a mental thing aswell. you have to have common sense. simply undoing 6 lug nuts after jacking up a car and popping the wheel off shouldn’t have you sitting there and contemplating if you’re capable of doing it. it’s just not for you.
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.
This literally is happening to me rn. After successfully jacking the car up & unsuccessfully loosening the lugnut, my mom (otp) tells me I was supposed to loosen the lug nuts first before jacking the car up🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ Edit: as I rewatch this video inside my car, NOW I HEAR HE SAID THE SAME THING!!☠️
@@PregnantFreddyKruegerYou could or just stick a collapsible breakerbar and a socket and it'll be massively less obnoxious than any dinky lug nut wrench that comes with a car
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 😅
Excellent advice in case the jack rolls and the vehicle drops. *Also should you engage the emergency brake when changing to a spare? I rolled my vehicle because it was moving back and forth and dropped. It bent the frame of my car. 😅
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.
Been driving for 35yrs all over the country. Cars, trucks and motorcycles. Experienced one tire blowout on the highway at 55mph on the way home. I didn’t stop on the highway. Went straight to the tire shop that was 800ft away. I slowly crawled to the shop. Rim was good but there wasn’t much left of the tire. About 20k miles on the original tire. The car was 1yr old. Till this day I haven’t a clue about the cause of the blowout.
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
I’m a mobile tire technician, everybody should know how to put a spare on! I can’t tell you how many people call me asking for help. If you drive a car you should know how and I think it should be required on driving tests.
is there an after market jack that wont crush the metal and chip off the paint and leave it vulnerable to rust? or should you just paint the area after you get the new tire?
How much body strength is needed for loosening and tightening the lug nuts? I feel the steps are simple enough but I worry about not having the strenth for it. I'd worry the wheel would come off. 🤦🏽😅
Where not to mount a donut, and why. How long to drive and at what speed on a donut, and why. What to do if you have to replace the flat tire you took off the car when you put the donut on, and why. Thanks!
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
Good vid, but I dont understand why you would cross tighten AFTER lowerong the car? The wheel is fixed once the weight of the vehicle is on the wheel. In my head, it makes more sense to fully tighten the wheel while its lifted.
The tire cant be lifted when you unscrew or screw the bolts. The friction between the tire and road provides the leverage/ counter force against the force needed to unscrew and screw the tire.
i’m a mechanic but this the best explanation for people that don’t work on cars 💯
@@iflut-I think he meant to say *and this is the best way to explain how to change a tire
@@iflut-might use a mechanical lift and machine align the tires after installation

My friend and I got stuck on the highway with a flat and didn't know what to do. This video worked perfectly, thank you!
Same
Thank you so much for your precise and easy to follow instructions. My first time changing a tyre and it went perfectly. ❤

Thank you so much. Just changed my first tire on the road. Video was concise and just what I needed at the time

I just want to say that this video saved me it's literally 12:52am and I just followed all the steps and now about to drive home 🙏🏾💯💪🏾
I got a flat a couple months ago and didn’t loosen the bolts prior to jacking and knocked my car down trying to undo them while it was jacked…so good advice lol
Just watched and changed my tire for the first time. Tired busted otw home from the gym it’s 1:30 am. Very thankful for this 😂🙏🏾
Oh my god THANK YOU! Was able to change my tire for the first time in just one go!
I ain't even got a spare in some of my new cars 😂
How many new cars do you have?
How many cars
Xiong a car salesmen
I had to use this today, I felt so proud of myself. All thanks to this video!!
Best video for someone who learned from his dad years ago but needed a reminder on how to do it correctly.
Thank you !! I just changed my tire myself cause of you !!
Thank you. My elderly taxi driver just got a flat and I watched this video and helped him change it lol.
Thank you so much you saved me over 2 hours of having to wait for roadside and I just did it myself
Thank you! Just changed my first tire and this made it so easy.
Thank you for being the dad all us girl never knew we needed 🙌💯😭
Had a pretty jarring flat tire event on my way to work last night and had to perform a change. This video saved me from possibly getting fired.
😂😂😂😂
this helped me more than i could have imagined

I don’t understand what you mean by star pattern
@@a.puerto5667 it means when you tighten the tire on, you have to do so in a star shape as opposed to doing it in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction. This ensures it’s evenly torqued.
@@a.puerto5667 basically start at one point, and tighten each lug nut diagonally prior to the last.
Thank you, This helped when i needed to change a flat in my summer car.

Nice and simple.
I didn't know Jack's had to be at a specific spot.
Now when something happens I can impress my girl😂
Thanks sir
sad. truly sad. you’re useless. plain and simple.
short but sweet love it1!! thanks man
Thanks I was in quite a pinch before I found your video. 😅
That’s crazy this happened to me too.
Thanks pops for the emergency tire save

Do you lie the tyre down on the car so it doesn't crush your legs as well?
Thank you for that tip ❤
Thank you girl 😅 I’m going outside now. I can do this!!

Remember to put the flat tire back in the trunk along with all your tools
no shit
@@dejesuspolanco476 You'd be surprised how many people forget and then wonder where the tools are years later lol
I like to sit on a seat cushion when a drive. It's also great to use when changing a flat. Protect the KNEES 😁
Thank u it was helpful cause I just got a flat tire
Thanks Bo! You the man!

lmao thanks for this 🤣 tire just popped and never changed one before this set me straight tho
Me and my dad just broke down on the highway at 10pm. Thanks!!!
Wow. I’m so grateful I watched this video 😂
is there an after market jack that wont crush the metal and chip off the paint and leave it vulnerable to rust? or should you just paint the area after you get the new tire?
I wish I watched this video before we hacked the car up without loosening the lug nuts. 🤦🏽♀️😭 this was so helpful. We got the spare on!
Sameeeee😂😂😂😂😂
ah, women
Thanks Dad, you one in a million 😊
I didn't imagine that one day there Will be tutorials on changing tyres
Thanks G. I just used this
We are the generation that must rely on the internet rather than our fathers teaching us
Yes sir. That's exactly what you do
So how about 2 flat tires? No 3? No 4? Lol
If you can’t break the lugs loose with your arms step on the tire iron with your feet
Great video side note check your spare tires air 😂
Thanks first time I ve done in my life😅
Thank you sir :) almost skipped a step lol
Thanks ❤️
Thank you unc ❤
Thank you! 😊
I appreciate u man
Throw some knee pads in with your spare tire you'll thank me later
Or tough it out for 10 minutes c’mon clown 🤡
Be careful also! As if you drive to fast with a spare it can negatively effect the cars
Thank you so much
Is a spare tire good for snow ?? Before I install it on
Thanks the best video
Lol thanks dad 😂❤
How much body strength is needed for loosening and tightening the lug nuts? I feel the steps are simple enough but I worry about not having the strenth for it. I'd worry the wheel would come off. 🤦🏽😅
call ur mechanic
Does it have to be on a flat surface?
Could i tight the lugs without lower the car down ?
What is the reason thu ? Thank u
if you don’t lower it first your car will explode and that’ll be the end of it. scary stuff
This dad doesn’t yell at me… I like him
Do most cars have jacks along with the tools?
What do you do after?
Why don’t you tighten them when it’s up? What does it cause?
Please go study physics sir 😂
@@Based_islamist_chad …lol forgot the whole wheel spinning part.. embarrassing lol
why do you loosen it when its on the ground and tighten it fully on the ground?
You should cover some rules on the storage and use of spare tires. I’ll bet a lot of people don’t know anything about them!
Where not to mount a donut, and why.
How long to drive and at what speed on a donut, and why.

a 3/8 socket fits on the end of the hook which you can attach to a powerdrill and it will lift the car with ease
The tire cant be lifted when you unscrew or screw the bolts. The friction between the tire and road provides the leverage/ counter force against the force needed to unscrew and screw the tire.
