SPARE TYRE

You learn something new everyday, Don't you? Well just like any other outings, I would plan and call up and sometimes even drive my friends around if I have the car. Today was no different. I had planed for a badminton games with my silat friends and a karaoke session followed after that.

However what made this trip memorable was once i reached the location for the karaoke, I was shocked to be informed that my back left tyre had punctured. DAMN! I said to myself. But still carried out my plans as usual, I proceed for the singing session.

After singing my hearts out, my two silat friends offered to help me to change my tyre. I was touched. Therefore, we embarked in out first ever, changing tyre process.. hahahaha.

It was an eye-opener and i learned a lot about the steps on chaging the tyre. For those who never done it b4, hope this tips help.

1. Ensure your jack, spare type and the metal tool to unscrew the bolt are available.
2. Ensure the spare tyre is not punctured (hahahhaa)
3. Jack up the punctured tyre half way. Turn the jack in a clockwise direction.
4. Unbolt the bolt of the tyre. (Anticlockwise direction)
5. Loosen the bolt.
6. Continue to jack up the car.
7. Change the tyre.
8. Tighten thebolt (Clockwise)
9. Lower the jack (Anticlockwise direction)
10. Keep the punctured tyre and jack.
11. Drive off to the nearest workshop and do the necessary.

I would like to thank my two friends who have helped me change the tyre. I wont be able to do this w/o your help. I really appreciate it GUYS....
