"Hello! My name is Christopher Fiffie and I have 20 years plus of automotive mechanic. On behalf of Expert Village, we will be talking about how to change a flat tire. Now we will move the jack over to where the flat tire is. We will position the lift head at the jack location nearest the flat tire. Some vehicles don't have jack notches so we will position the jack close to the wheel opening so make sure all of the jack's lift head is touching the jacking flan underneath the body. We will also make sure we have the spare tire within reach as well. It is also important to know to personal injury or follow the instructions of jacking very closely. Now that the car is jacked up high enough where the flat tire is off of the ground, we can go ahead and remove the lug nuts completely. You want to make sure that you don't loose any of the lug nuts. Keep them nearby. While removing the lug nuts, it will be good to inspect the lug nuts for corrosion or rust. This will give you a good idea of the structural integrity of the lug nut. Remove the tire carefully and place it to the side. Rust or dirt on the wheel or on the parts of which it was fastened, can make the wheel nuts come loose after the wheel is put back on or the vehicle driven for a time. The wheel could come off and cause an accident. When you change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency, you can use a cloth or paper towel to do this. But be sure to use a scraper or wire bristle later if you need to get all the rust and dirt off. "
