How to change a flat tyre (Tayar pancit? no sweats... hehe)

This is the 2nd time it happened after 6 months I live in KL. And  it has never happened to me for the past 4+ yrs since I bought Blackie. Now now, yes KL is a bad place to live in. I hate it but I can't chg the fact that I am now working and living here. BIG SIGH. I wanna share the steps of changing your flat tyre (this is not the demo but the real situation pics :)

1. First of all , of course you need a spare tyre in your car trunk, a jack, and a your tyre screws spanner (in malay it is called spanar)
2. Do as below picture, fit the spanner into the screw and step on the spanner and start loosening the screws  (anti-clockwise)

3. Keep loosen the screws with your hands.

4. As for toyota, you need to put the handle for the jack by yourself (it's seperated). Then use the jack to lift up your car.(twist the handle clockwise).

5. Once it is lifted, put the spare tyre underneath your car, this is a protection step to avoid any accidents if the jack fail to hold your car weight.


6. Take out the screws. Take out the flat tyre and eplace it with the spare tyre. Now the flat tyre chg place with the spare tyre, put it underneath your car.

7. Fit the screws and tighten it with your hands.

7. Now use the spanner to tighten the screws (twist the spanner with your hand clockwise)

8. Take out the tyre underneath your car. Lift down your car using the jack.
9. Again by stepping on the spanner, tighten the screws but it's clockwise this time. And tadaaa... it's done! (now you can smile again as per below picture :D  hero and model yg tak berbayar itu ialah my fiance)


10. Oh, 1 final step, pls check your tyre pressure at the nearest petrol station.
