Sometimes, you just know that it is time to change a spare tire.

Changing a Spare Tire

If you have ever gotten stuck on a narrow road with a spare tire and were blocking the traffic, you would have obviously felt the burden of being a nuisance to commuters. Don’t you wish you had the ability to change your spare tire without the help of specialists? Changing a Spare Tire is an invaluable skill for everyone to have-especially if you happen to be obese.

Step 1: Safety First

Now, most amateurs would advise that you move out of passing traffic, onto a hard, flat surface before you begin working. This is almost always a bad idea, as there is a potential someone in the passing traffic would be able to help, and they won’t help unless you’re in the way. So, the most important thing to do would be to first manoeuvre yourself so that you’re blocking as much traffic as possible.

Meet the Jack... Feel the Jack... Use the Jack.

Step 2: The Jack

The Jack is a very important tool in removing spare tires. Jacks are fairly common and can be easily found among the commuters in the passing traffic. Obtain a Jack and place the Jack under your spare tire. Make the Jack raise your spare tire to a height that is supporting, but not lifting your spare tire. Ensure that Jack is firmly placed beneath your spare tire.

Step 3: Loosening the Nuts

With the support of the Jack, you may then proceed to loosen your nuts. This is usually done by turning the nuts anti-clockwise with a nut wrench. But if you’re less hard-core and are unable to find a nut wrench, you can also do it with your hands. Beware, however, that doing it with your hands is tedious and is known to cause self-inflicted agony.

Step 4: Lifting the Spare Tire Entirely

The next step involves making the Jack lift your spare tire entirely off the ground. This can be achieved in two ways: pumping or cranking the Jack. Pumping involves the use of applying forceful pressure to the Jack to make it lift your spare tire higher. Cranking involves turning the Jack like a toy until it is cranked so much that it lifts your spare tire higher.

Step 5: Removing the Nuts

This is the hardest part yet. However, if you follow this guide accordingly, removing your nuts can be a painless, life-changing, moral transcending experience. Proceed to turn your nuts in the anti-clockwise direction with the same method you used in Step 3 until it comes off completely.

Step 6: Removing the Spare Tire

With your nuts holding your spare tire in place removed, it is finally time to remove your spare tire. Make sure the Jack is in a stable, supporting position before proceeding. Clasping your spare tire with both hands, forcefully rip off your spare tire by pulling as hard as you can.

Warning: The lack of a spare tire attracts more women. Be prepared.
