Hi! I’m William Myers with Subaru for Expert Village. If you have a flat tire on your Subaru
these are the steps you’re going to want to take before you start changing your flat
tire. We’re going to show you how to change your flat tire but there’s a couple of things
you need to know first. First off you need to know where your spare tire is, you need
to know where your jack is, you need to know where your tire tools are and you want to
remove your spare tire, your jack and your tools before you get started in changing your
spare tire. So the first thing you’re going to want to do before you change your flat
tire and put your spare on is you’re going to make sure the car is in park and the parking
brake is engaged. The second step after that is done you’re going to break loose your
lug nuts before you start jacking up the car, once the lug nuts have been broken loose then
you’ll jack up the car, remove all the lug nuts, put the spare tire on, snug the lug
nuts down, lower the jack and then tighten them. This is your lug wrench and this is
what we’re going to use to break loose the lug nuts of your tire. This piece here goes
into the jack so we can jack it up, some of them are different, some jack handles look
different but in your owners manual it’ll show you exactly how to use it but once you
see it done once figuring out another style is pretty easy and they’re all screwed tight,
they’re all screwed scissor tight jacks. What I mean by a scissor tight jack it’ll
come up like a scissor when you start spinning this screw around see how its rises up and
that’s what’s going to push up the car and when we start changing this flat tire
out you’ll see what I mean about it raising the car up. All we have to do is get our spare
tire and we can start changing out our flat.
