How to Install a Spare Tire
Hi! This is John on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this video clip, I will be taking you through step 5 of our procedure for replacing a flat tire. Once you have your old tire removed, you want to locate your spare tire that you pulled from your trunk and set it on to the lug nuts. Now the tire doesn’t look pretty, but it will get you to a point where you can fix your other tire. After you have put the tire on, you can go ahead and start putting the lug nuts on. When you’ve tightened the lug nuts, you want to tighten them pretty tight and you are going to have to put one hand on your wheel otherwise your wheel is going to rotate, so you want to tighten them pretty tight but not too tight. We are going to go ahead and lower the car here in a bit and then snug them up the rest of the way.
