No driver is insured from the flat or broken wheel. And, as is often the case, drivers find themselves in a situation where they need to replace the wheel of their own-if this is a problem outside the city or on the highway, and there is no possibility to call a tow truck or to transport a car into a binder. How do I change the wheel on my own?
Manufacturers have done their best to enable drivers to change the wheel without the help of professionals
Before we go on the road, we'll have to look at the wheels and check the wheels, even if they're full of damage. This simple manipulation can save the driver from unexpected self-repair on the side of the road. Although the procedure for changing wheels is quite simple, the manufacturers have done everything possible to ensure that drivers, in case of unforeseen situation, can cope without the help of the professionals.
Toolkit needed
Work requires a set of tools, which is usually present in the trunk of the motorist. And if there isn't, many drivers are willing to help a colleague and provide their tools.
So, for a self-replacement of the wheel, a jack is required, a balloon with a head on one end and a lever on the other, and a spare wheel-full or doable. This is a standard set, however, depending on the design of the car and the year of its release, additional tools may be needed. Sin is a secretive (clip-nut), spinach and peat key with shifting heads to lower the spare wheel if it is mounted in the bottom of the vehicle.
The driver should therefore be aware of the specific features of his vehicle and have the tools necessary for the installation and removal of the wheels.
Wheel replacement procedure
It is best to replace the wheel on a level hard ground, but if the wheel has come down at the time of motion, the driver does not have the time to find a suitable place for repair.
The next steps should include an alarm, the parking brake or, in the case of a manual gearbox, it is necessary to select the rear gear, so that the car does not fall off the jack.
You can now proceed to the wheel-replacement process itself. To do this, first of all, you need to lift the car, using jacks (which are of different kinds). Then remove the damaged wheel-it is necessary to remove the cap and loosing the clamps by turning them clockwise. The flat tire should remain on the ground-then the driver's efforts will be directed to the nut, and the wheel will not be scrolled. Once the nuts are loosened, the flat tire should be lifted by the jacks. Then the nut and the old wheel should be removed.
The specialists advise that the flat wheel is to be pushed under the car so that it does not interfere with the repair. This may help if the car is broken down from the jack-the additional height of the wheel can weaken the damage.
The first stage is over, now we have to install a new wheel. This can be both a doable and a full-sized spare wheel. Of course, it is easier to install a dockable, although it is safer to drive the car on four full-size wheels. The maximum speed of the vehicle with a milkette is limited to 80 km/h. There are unspoken rules of motion on the dockette.
The driver shall place a new wheel on the hub in a way that the rear wheel is directed to the car. Then the wheel drive with the bolts and tighten the clip-nuts should be combined. There is also a particular characteristic of the nut: the nut needs to be tightened so that the pressure is evenly distributed over the wheel. To do this, you need to first tighten one nut, and then reverse. It is necessary to tighten the nuts until the end of the car is removed, and all four wheels of the car will be on the ground. You shouldn't forget that before you drop the car, you have to get the old flat tire out of it.
In conclusion, it should be recalled that there is a need to check the availability of the tools necessary for the installation and dismantling of the wheel. The process of removal of the old wheel and the installation of the new wheel is not delayed if the instructions are followed and the necessary precautions are taken.
