How to Change Truck Tires
Changing truck tires is not difficult if you have mastered every step of the way. Because basically, changing truck tires is the same as changing car tires in general. What makes the difference is the size of the tire to be replaced, the size of the car, the size of the screwdriver used and the direction of rotation of the nut on the truck wheel. For that, here Om James will explain some easy steps and tips for changing truck tires so that you can do it yourself without the help of others or without having to go to your subscription repair shop.
The steps involved in replacing a truck tire are as follows:
Prepare the necessary tire replacement tools, don't forget the spare tire that will replace the old tire you also need to pay attention to so that the replacement process does not take long.
If you change a car tire on the side of the road, don't forget to install a hazard light or a safety triangle so other road users know that you are changing tires.
Loosen the wheel nuts or bolts using a wheel wrench, to replace a truck tire, turn the wheel lock counterclockwise for the right wheel and clockwise for the left wheel.
Install the car jack in the position of the car frame to make it easier to disassemble car tires because tires for trucks are usually big and heavy so it will be difficult if you replace the tires alone
Pull the car tire to release so that the tire can be replaced with a new one
Insert the new tire that you will install, then install the wheel nut or bolt then tighten it
Lower the jack until the tires touch the asphalt or road surface
Tighten the nuts or bolts using a wheel wrench to secure the tires.
Do not use pipes to tighten nuts or bolts to tighten the wheels so that the car tires can be installed properly and correctly.
After performing the steps above, the process of replacing your truck tires has been done correctly. However, when tightening a nut or bolt, make sure you make sure that the nut is tight so you don't have to worry about driving a car.
