How to put a spare wheel

Each driver is happening to trouble with the wheels of the car. Despite the large number of maintenance stations, the motorists are obliged on the roads to know how to independently get out of the situation. For such cases, the following tools are kept in the trunk: jack, emergency sign, shoes under the wheels, balloon key, pressure gauge, pump.

First, it is necessary to perform preliminary work. Move the car with the roadway on the flat site. Enable parking brake, alarm. On both sides of the machine to establish an emergency stop sign, at night - lights. An emergency sign is made at a distance of 15 m from the car in urban environments and 30 m outside the city.

Install under the wheel, located diagonally from damaged, shoes for additional engine fixation from spontaneous movement. The devices put on both sides of the wheel. Shoes can be replaced by stones on other massive objects.

3
Unscrew the nut or the fastening bolts of the dismantled wheel on a quarter of the turn. It is not recommended to turn the fastener completely.

Remove the spare wheel from the car and set the car next to the wheel removed. Such a precaution will help to avoid trouble if the jack during the removal of the wheel will fall or break.

Explore the place to install the jack - the support surface must be smooth and solid. It is not allowed to install a fixture on crushed stone or sand. Install the jack as close as possible to the wheel removed. Possible placements of the jacks are indicated in the instruction manual for the machine.

Raise the jack of the side with a damaged wheel until the guaranteed gap between the wheel and the earth is obtained. To raise the machine, it is necessary to use a device that enters the accessory kit for this car. Most car enthusiasts prefer to carry diamond jacks with them - they have a low pickup height.

Remove the entire fastener of the wheels and remove it. After you need to clean the surface of the hub, the heap of the hub and the holes in the wheel drive from dirt and put the spare parts. Check the installation is correct - the wheel after the load application must be fixed even without installing fasteners.

Then you should fix the wheel with regular fasteners. Nuts or bolts wrap alternately in diametrically opposite places. Lower the car by jack on the ground and repeat the tightening.
