Make your car readyAsk all the passengers to get out of the vehicle after applying the handbrakes. Take out all the necessary tool accessories and the spare wheel needed for replacement.2. Place the wheel chocksWhile the car is jacked up, chocks prevent the car from rolling sideways. Place the chocks at the opposite wheel side to the one having the punctureLike for instance, place the chocks behind the right wheel if your left front tyre is having a puncture. If the left rear tyre is punctured, place the chocks at the right front tyre. Optionally, you may place the chocks at both front and rear wheels if you have them in spare. You may even use brick or large rock pieces if you don't have the actual chock3. Unlock the wheel nutsMostly, nuts should be unlocked when the car is at rest on the ground. For this, the first lever down the plastic wheel trim. Start turning around the wheel wrench in the anti-clockwise direction. This will start loosening the wheel nuts to the point where they can be unscrewed using hands. Though the nuts are difficult to unscrew using your hands4. Put your car on jackEvery car has dedicated jack points. Their location can be checked from the user manual provided during the time of purchase. Try to place the jack at the car's sides near the punctured wheel. You may place a wood plank beneath the jack to keep it stable. Start lifting the car until the punctured tyre is 10-15cm above the ground.5. Take off the punctured tyreOnce the wheel nuts get fully loose, remove them and gently pull them outwards until they become free. Next, position it straight over the ground6. Mount the spare partPush the spare wheel using the protruding hub bolts, or in line to wheel nut slots. Reinsert the wheel nuts and screw them tightly using your hands7. Low down car and tighten the boltsUse the jack for the car landing and ensure that the spare tyre touches the ground. For best results, use the wrench and tightly screw the wheel nuts.8. Land the car fullyNow, it's time to safely land the car on the ground and remove the jack system. Ensure that the wheel nuts are tight inside the slots. Put the jack, spare part, and rest of the equipment in the boot place. Note that the old wheel is likely to take more space in the boot.9. Check the pressure of the spare tyreUsing the tyre pressure gauge, check if the spare wheel is fully or partially inflated. In case you don't have the gauge with you, use the gauge at the nearest petrol station. If required, pump up the tyre until it reaches the recommended tyre pressure10. Repair punctured tyreNow that you have the punctured tyre in your hand, visit the tyre fitters or garage. Ask them to repair your punctured tyre. If possible they will either repair it or replace it completely. Remember, you are not dependent on the spare wheel for long journeys. They are just meant for an emergency. The tyre can be either repaired using the guide or simply replaced with new tyresFor vehicle owners, who want an MOT test or a full car service, then book an appointment with Tyres Tamworth services in the UK." ]
