I've never changed a tire before and I want to make sure I do it correctly. What should I do step by step?
ReplyFirst, make sure you have all the necessary tools such as a jack and a wrench. Then, locate the spare tire and jack points on your Kia Picanto. Place the jack securely under the jack point and lift the car up. Next, remove the lug nuts from the flat tire and pull the tire off. Place the spare tire on and tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern. Finally, lower the car down and double check that the lug nuts are secure.
When changing a tire, safety is key. Make sure you are in a safe location and turn on your hazard lights. Also, remember to loosen the lug nuts before lifting the car with the jack. It's also a good idea to keep a small piece of wood or a brick handy to secure the tire in case the jack fails.
