How to Jack Up a Car to Change a Flat Tire

Video Transcript

Hey I'm Jake from Burt Brother Tire and on behalf of expertvillage.com, we're going to show you how to properly jack up your vehicle when changing a flat tire. Okay, first of all jacks come in all sizes, shapes and low capacities. This is a fairly large jack that you obviously won't find in your trunk. It's something that would accommodate it, you obviously slide the jack. You want to make sure the vehicle is not on any incline or if it is you want to drop the tires, put your emergency brake on so the vehicle will be sustained while you're removing one of the tires. But you want to look underneath your vehicle here and every vehicle is different and it's hard to show right here but there is little mounting pads underneath your car and little rails that go along the frame. You want to grab that part right there, install the jack in that motion there and continue to work the jack in its necessary motion there to raise the vehicle off the ground and do it slowly just in case you have it in the wrong section or something like that, you can quickly make an adjustment. Once the tire is off the ground, you can proceed to finishing to remove the lug nuts and installing your spare. So make sure the jack is sustained and try not to work around this situation where you don't bump into the jack or anything like that cause that can cause the vehicle to fall. So make sure the jack is its secure area right there and you'll be taken care of.
