Hi! I’m William Myers with Subaru for Expert Village. The next step is to jack up your
car, now remember car in park, emergency brake on if you have a standard make sure it’s
in gear. First thing is we’re going to break loose all the lug nuts before we jack up the
car and all you do is you put your lug wrench on and pull up, now if you don’t have enough
arm strength to do it this wrench is designed so you can put it down on the car, put your
foot on it, push down and you can use your leg to break loose those lug nuts, when you
put it back on you can tightening it up the same way. Now that you got your lug nuts broken
loose time to jack up the care, make sure your emergency brake is on and it’s in park
or in gear if it’s a standard transmission, now there’s a little slot right here and
your scissor jack is that’s going to fit in a little wedge not a wedge a piece of metal
that comes straight down that’ll fit right in the slot. And all you have to do is just
spin it up to get it right in that little slot, then you start jacking up your car and
all you do is you take this little round hook, put it through the two little round holes
and you’re going to put this in here and make an old style crank handle and you just
start cranking up the car and you’re going to jack the car up till the tire comes off
the ground. Now if you have a flat tire remember you’re going to have to come up a lot higher
than just when the tire is off the ground because it’s flat on the bottom side. So
now that this tire is off the ground we’re going to remove all the lug nuts…okay now
that all the lug nuts are removed you just pull the tire off, roll it out of the way,
grab your spare tire, line up you lug nuts or your lug studs to your holes, put your
spare tire on,
put your lug nuts back on,
snug them with your wrench, now we’re going to lower the car so we can tighten up these
lug nuts. Move your jack and I’m going to come back and I’m going to tighten up my
lug nuts and I recommend doing a crisscross pattern on tightening them up, now remember
this is a space saver spare it’s only rated to a certain mile an hour, so look on the
side wall of your tire and it’ll tell you what the rating is and look on the side wall
and it’ll tell you what the PSI is and I highly recommend before you go on a trip to
always have the air checked on your tire. That’s how you change a flat.
