Requirements
Jack
Wrench
Spare wheel
Step-by-step guide
- If you have a blow-out or puncture on the road, turn on your hazard lights and pull over to where its safe.
- Take out your wrench, jack, and spare wheel from the boot and put it where you need it.
- Remove the wheel caps if there are any on.
- Use your wrench to loosen the lug nuts/bolts slightly.
- Using the jack, lift the bakkie off the ground. The tyre should be at least 15 cm off the ground.
- Loosen the nuts fully and pull the tyre off. Keep your lug nuts safe and secure and make sure they don’t roll away. Also, pull the tyre straight toward yourself to remove it from the base.
- Place the spare wheel on the base and push it all the way back until it can’t go any further.
- Place your lug nuts in and secure them just enough to hold the wheel comfortably to the bakkie.
- Using the jack, lower your bakkie back to the ground and remove the jack.
- Now tighten the lug nuts as much as you can.
- Replace your wheel caps.
- Place your flat tyre and tools back in your bakkie and you can make your way back onto the road.
