How to Change the Front Tire on a Golf Cart

Changing a tire on a golf cart is just like changing a tire on a car only a lot lighter! Here is a simple way to get that flat fixed.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• small floor jack; hydraulic jacks and screw jacks are usually too big.
• socket set or tire iron that fits the lugnuts on your rim
• a new tire
• a crowbar; if you have hubcabs
• a chock block; a rock or piece of wood to wedge under the tire

1. Gather all of your tools and place them around the golf cart. Make sure that the golf cart is on a hard surface such as concrete.

2. Wedge your chock block in front of the back tire opposite of the flat tire so the golf cart doesn't get away from you when you jack it up.

3. With a socket wrench or tire iron loosen the lugnuts on the flat tire. Do not take them off completely at this point.

4. Place the small floor jack underneath the golf cart and jack up the side that has the flat tire. Turn the tire with your hands to make sure that the tire is completely off the ground and remove the lugnuts. Then remove the flat tire.

5. Place the new tire on the golf cart and put the lugnuts on. Make sure that they are at least hand tight. Lower the jack and remove it from underneath the golf cart.

6. Tighten the lugnuts with a socket wrench or a tire iron, move your chock block, and you are ready to ride!
