WEll this can be hard for many people to do but really the tools are available in every vehicle to change flat tires. 

1st Make sure in safe area if on highway.  Remember the tire might be ruined already so get off nearest exit if in tight shoulder and you are too close to lane where cars n trucks zoom by. Of course drive very slowly with flashers on.



2nd Make sure you on solid level Ground prefer concrete over dirt.

3rd get the spare out and the jack which is a scissor type type jack that clicks on a spot under car near the tire your changing.

Start by using the   the Lug wrench  to just loosen each nut. 

L shaped standard for most cars. 










Many times because the nuts never been removed they may be torgued too tight and YOU need a large hollow bar for leverage.

SO make sure YOU have this extra tool in your vehicle at all times.

After you loosen each nut then place the jack under that special spot in frame to lift tire off ground at least 1 1/2 inches so you have clearance to remove the flat and get spare on.



 Keep arms n legs away from under the car because many times the balance will cause car to tilt and fall forward.

Especially if windy conditions exist.

Also many flats are minor and a can of fix a flat can you get you to nearest gas station to add air and get you home.

Also get an electric air pump to use that plugs into cig lighter of vehicle or other such places.

Can save time and get you going quickly.

Really there are many books and articles on the web for type of vehicle that show you this step by step.

Basically it's simple mechanics; IF YOU see wrench slip off and round the bolt edges STOP because it gets worse and without proper sockets and tools YOU are not going to get that tire off.

 Call for tow truck or if YOU have Road assistance from insurance carrier they have mechanics who can come to you within an hour and get you going home.

Hope this helps YOU next time you get a flat.
