What to do????

Back in July or August, this is the view I got at 730 am.
Without the spare on the side.
Okay No sweat ! Just change it...
First thing always trig your wheels.
(trig -means wedge something under your wheels)
So if it falls off the jack (and it can) the
trig will help stop the car from rolling.
Even on flat ground. Safety first....
Before the jack , crack or brake your lug nuts
on the wheel.This helps to not knock your car
off the jack. A braker bar helps alot.
Then aline your jack, Then jack up the car.
Checking that everything is straight,
not leaning , This would be unsafe.
If so,Then stop and re-do it .
If in shorts, a blanket helps the knees.
You'll notice a board under my jack, So the jack
doesn't sink into the dirt.
Helpful hint....
Put your lug nuts in the cap to
your wheel. Easy to find,
and no dirt in your threads.

Put your spare on . Making go time.
Tighten all lug nuts, Then slowly,
let the car down.
re-tighen your lug nuts.

Aawwwww! The spare is flat ! This has happened
to me more than once. I can laugh about it Now...

Cute...
Mag did really good with the camera.
Look 2 Flats........

This little air compressor, is awesome.
It goes into the cig. lighter. This stays in
my van all the time.

All pumped up, off to the garage.
I was very lucky I was home , it was day light when this
happened.
This happened again in sept . Different tire, same
flat spare. I was lucky then too.
This is a good thing for everyone to
know how to do.
