Easy Steps To Change Your Wheels
Flat tire in the middle of the road? Or even the tyre burst so it had to be replaced? Take it easy, as long as you're carrying a spare tire, it won't be a difficult thing.
However, how exactly do you change tyres safely and correctly? Here's how.
1. Loosen the Bolts
First of all, loosen the bolts from your wheels first. Use the tools that are normally provided, then start turning counter-clockwise. If it is hard, then it can be assisted a little with your feet.
2. Jack the Car
Once the bolts come off, you can jack up the car. This is done after removing the bolt because the car is more stable before it is jacked. To jack up the car, make sure the car is lifted at the correct point, which is at the jack point that is usually in the vehicle owner’s manual. If you don't have one, look for the thick iron part that is the main chassis component. Then, it's a good idea to fid the wheels when the car is lifted so that it doesn't move.
3. Remove and Install the Wheel
Once lifted, you can start removing and installing the wheel. Once installed, it is recommended to put the bolts first but it does not need to be tightened too much.
4. Lower The Car
After that, lower the car gently.
5. Tighten Bolts
Once the car has gone down perfectly, tighten the wheel bolts. After that, the spare tire is installed and you can continue your trip again.

Ban kempes di tengah jalan? Atau bahkan pecah sehingga harus diganti? Tenang saja, selama kamu membawa ban cadangan, hal ini tidak akan menjadi perkara sulit.
Namun, bagaimana sebenarnya cara mengganti ban dengan aman dan benar? Inilah caranya.
1. Kendorkan Baut
Pertama-tama, kendorkan dahulu baut dari rodamu. Gunakan kunci yang biasanya disediakan, lalu mulai putar melawan arah jarum jam. Bila keras, maka bisa dibantu dengan sedikit pijakan kaki.
2. Dongkrak Mobil
Setelah baut terlepas, barulah kamu bisa mendongkrak mobil. Hal ini dilakukan setelah melepas baut karena mobil lebih stabil sebelum di dongkrak. Untuk mendongkrak mobil, pastikan mobil diangkat di titik yang benar, yaitu di titik dongkrak yang biasanya ada di buku panduan kendaraan. Bila tidak memilikinya, carilah bagian besi tebal yang merupakan komponen sasis utama. Lalu, ada baiknya mengganjal ban ketika mobil terangkat agar tidak bergerak.
3. Lepas dan Pasang Roda
Setelah terangkat, maka kamu bisa mulai melepas dan memasang roda. Setelah terpasang, ada baiknya meletakkan baut terlebih dahulu namun tidak perlu terlalu dikencangkan.
4. Turunkan Mobil
Setelah itu, turunkanlah mobil secara perlahan.
5. Kencangkan Baut
Setelah mobil telah turun dengan sempurna, kencangkanlah baut roda. Setelah itu, ban cadangan pun sudah terpasang dan kamu bisa kembali melanjutkan perjalanan.
