ALT-6 Diy Automotive Repair how to Change a Flat Tire

From 3arf

If you've never changed a tire then my advice would be have someone else do it for you! Thats what friends are for after all. In your time of need or without suitable break down cover then why not just sit tight pick up the cell phone and make a call to someone who you know is into that kind of stuff. Lets face facts changing tires is a messy business, and potentially dangerous depending on your location. When your rubber buddy decides to just let go and assuming it isn't at high speed and you manage to pull over rather than having to be pulled out. First of all an unwelcome tire stop can be a stressful business as you either discover the defect before you leave the driveway or wonder what the strange noise is as you drive off down the street hoping its just next doors cat, who climbed under the hood again for warmth. Either way its a nuisance none the less, and one which must be dealt with as quickly as possible to get you moving again as life is so fast paced these days that any interruption to our daily life's however small can cause a huge amount of stress. This wheel changing business as it should really be called calls for a degree of strength and equipment. A quick simple solution to this problem is to just carry a canister of tire foam in the boot or trunk therefore when it goes pop you just crack open a can, let rip and drive off. Happy days! Also if by some foreseen freak of nature occurs and you have the miss fortune to have two tires blow out then without the extra can of foam on board you maybe stuck for a while. Bad days! The odds of getting a flat tire must be in reality quite low, depending on where you drive of course. So even if you have changed a tire it ain't something you will do day in day out, so when the time comes to roll those sleeves up, break out the jack, tire iron and attempt to kick those rust wheel nuts off while sweating, swearing, screaming, and sacrificing the last shred of decency you have by the side of the road while everyone else drives past uttering the words rather you than me, then just remember one little word which you will swear by and not at if the challenge ever raises it head!
