A flat tire is something that you are likely to encounter at some point. Fortunately, this is something that you can take care of yourself if you have the right tools. All you need is a spare tire, the owner's manual, a wrench, and a jack. Before you change your tire, you need to make sure that you are in a safe place and apply the parking brake. The next step is to apply the wheel wedges and remove the wheel cover or hubcap. After that, you need to take a lug wrench and loosen the lug nuts.
Take the jack and raise your car. Completely remove the lug nuts and take off the flat tire. Place the spare tire on your vehicle with the lug bolts. The final steps are to lower your vehicle, re-tighten the lug nuts and put the hub cap or wheel cover back on. Visit our service center today at Levittown Ford in Levittown, NY.
