How to Replace Flat Tire Lug Nuts

Hi! I'm Jeff Wong with Expert Village and today we are going to learn how to change a flat tire. Special precautions should be made when replacing lug nuts. Since these lug nuts are closed, it is clear of which direction these will go onto the vehicle but if they are open on both sides, be sure to check for the taper to match the taper that is on the rim. So the first step to replacing the lug nuts is to put them on finger tight. The order in which you put these on is not important until you do the final tightening with the tire iron.
