Sometimes there is such a situation in life - we approach our iron horse and see that he fell on one leg, then you mean, the wheel. Yes ... as it is not sad, but the wheel is lowered. Or another situation: we go on your car, enjoy your favorite melody, affectionate breeze flies into the opened window. Suddenly ... Our car has become worse to obey the steering wheel and pulled to the side - the reason is the same - the wheel lowered. There are cases and worse. Pleasant ride, excellent mood - suddenly a sharp "shot" and to keep the car in a straight movement becomes unbearably difficult. As you already guessed - it burst, or as the experienced motorists say "shot" the wheel.

Hole in the wheel

The reasons for the failure of the wheel can be a lot - this is a nail, it is not clear from where the tires taken on the road, and the marriage of the tires, which was unnoticed when buying, and never anything else.

What actions we need to take to put into operation our horse?

Wipe the glass, kill the wheels, blow into the exhaust pipe - all this is good, but not for us.

And we just change the failed wheel to the spare, and quietly get to the nearest tire. So, start ...

Spare wheel where it is in the car

First of all, we define - whether we have a spare wheel, the so-called "spare", jack and a balloon key.

In different machines, they are stored in different places.

In the VAZ classics, these items are in the left compartment of the trunk, at the average foreign car, as a rule, there is a special niche in the bottom of the trunk, where the "spare room" lies, on the cover of this niche key and jack (but there may be options), the Russian SUV " Niva "The reserve and jack placed in the engine compartment, under the hood.

Stop the car how to do it

Found the necessary items? Fine! Fifty percent of the case has already been done.

Further, we need to fill our car, so that he accidentally did not swing and did not "jumped" from the jack.

Otherwise, the consequences are not the most pleasant, from scratched thresholds and wings, before pressing any parts of the body of a grief repairman.

In addition to the parking brake, the so-called "handler", we need to put under the front and rear wheels, with the opposite repair of the parties, any anti-tart buffer.

It can be halves bricks or non-cobbled cobblestones found at the repair site, small planks or a shelter height from 5 cm, etc.

In general, any items that can keep our car from the slightest movement.

It is very important as when raising the car by jack, it has a property to move forward or backward.

This can lead to the slipping of the car from the jack, and the consequences we considered higher.

How to remove the wheel from the car

Next, using a balloon key, we release all nuts or bolts (depending on the car brand) holding the wheel.

Attention! We do not unscrew, namely let go.

Our fasteners have a firmly hold the wheel, so we will need to make considerable efforts to "let go".

At this moment the car and gets significant shocks and pulse for movement.

Well, we insured!

When we see that our nut bolts are freely spinning, proceed to the procedure for lifting the car with the help of a jack.

Here, it is also necessary to take into account the condition of the surface on which the car is located.

If it is concrete, asphalt or dry and strong earth - well, if sandy soil, you need to find a stand under the jack.

It may be a plate, a pair of repair keys, folded cross-stroke - the main task is not to let the jack under the weight of our car.

When this task is solved, fasten the jack to the car and begin without hurrying to rotate his handle until the moment of contact with the surface of the earth (you can get it in advance to the desired height).

Now special attention to the fixed state of our car.

Turn the handle, lifting the car, and look like she behaves. It is impossible to in these moments our legs, hands and other parts of the body were directly under the car.

Celebrate God protects!

As soon as the moment comes down the wheels from the ground, stop. Now we need to unscrew the fastening bolts (nuts), we will leave only one, for insurance.

We put them so that they are at hand and outside the wheel removal zone. "Outlet" should also be nearby, but do not interfere with the removal of the wheel.

Through the jack handle on, raising the car to the level when the "spare" can easily fit into the place of the removed wheel.

It is better to raise the car slightly higher than twist the jack with the wheel already removed - the second is most dangerous.

When the machine is raised at the desired height, we are convinced again in its immobably state.

It is also very important - the car can "swim" at any inappropriate moment, if the wheel is still in place, some of the destruction and trouble, if it was already removed - very different, as an order of magnitude superior.

Change the wheel

The machine behaves worthy, go to the next procedure.

Carefully unscrew the remaining safety fasteners, carefully, without jerks, we remove our wheel from the guides and put it on the side, and in its place, also without unnecessary jerks and bustle, we put our "spare tire" and immediately "out" several fasteners.

The moment of the location of all components is very important within reach.

Everyone should be located so that the rule was carried out - turned-took, turned, put it, etc. Without any movements - everything should be clearly and functionally.

With the help of a balloon, we wrap all the fasteners until the stop is not more.

This will give the wheel to be bored, as it is prescribed.

I lower the jack, take it out and thoroughly stretch the whole fastener again.

The main thing is not to rearrange, otherwise the ripped stud or the torn thread will bring us a lot of trouble and new repairs.

We declare a jack, the key and the wheel removed to the place intended for them, we rinse or rub your hands with a rag and ... you can go.

Important Warning

I would like to recall once again about security measures.

Sometimes fraudsters specifically output the wheel in order to take advantage of the driver's employment and pull anything valuable from the car, and there are cases that the car itself can sneak (for example, in the film "Spec" it was done by masterfully, and the film was based on real events). Therefore, if a fellow traveler is with you, then he must look at everything for the car, and not for repair or passing girls.

If there is no traveler, then the car needs to lock - and the doors, and the trunk, it is better to take off than then repent.

Such simple tips will help you in an unpleasant situation with an unexpectedly desoped wheels.

Neither a carnation nor rod on the roads!
