How To Change a Flat Tire Using The Tools In Your Car - EricTheCarGuy

Reason y the torque wrench. I would like to keep all 4 tires on!!

Helpful video, thanks. I’m Broken lol

I'm about to change my first flat now I feel confident thank you

Thank you for making this video! Such a great tutorial that helped me get thru my first flat tire ever! 💪

You just helped two girls change their first tire without making us feel dumb! Thank you.!

It helped thank you 🙌💯

Thank you for this.

Rev up your spare tires... oops wrong channel

remember to take out your AR15 before dropping off your car

what if you don't have the tools that came with your car? will any lug wrench work or no?

Loosen tire lug nuts. Use foot or jack if too tight. (I don't get driving with a loose tire; I didn't understand that part fully). Use jack. Take off lug nuts. Then rim. And finally tire. Put new tire on. Lightly tighten lug nuts. Drop the jack. Tighten the lugs one last time. Put old tire into trunk. Ready to go. Is this correct?

thanks for this! :D

I drove around on one of those space saver spares for several days while I was waiting for my used replacement tire to ship from an eBay seller. Yes, those space saver spares where out fast.

I know this is a really old video and you may not see this, but BROOO YOU SAVED MY LIFE THIS MORNING!!! I had a tire blow out on me on my way to work. I'm in a different town for my job and had no one to call and wasn't about to spend the money to have a service come out and find me on a dark highway to help me out. I found this video and changed a tire using nothing but the knowledge from this and the light of my phone for the first time in my life 😂 Thank you so much!

Using the jack to loosen the nut was gold.

Thank you! I woke up to a flat and was able to confidently change to the spare. Your clear direction was amazing.

This is not a fat test. I REPEAT THIS IT NOT A FAT TEST!

Watching in 2019

This video changed my life. 32 years old just changed my first ever flat. Thank you so much!

you dont talk about the risk of the car falling from de cisor lift

“You may not be fat enough.” Lmao that took me out 😂

1 decade later

Thanks eric

Crappy loud intro music was an accurate instant indication of the worth of this video.

Thank you this video helped out alot.

Thank you, Eric! Everybody should learn to change a tire just in case they have to.

When I took drivers' ed 43 years ago in the New Orleans public school system (small fee for a 3 week summer class), we had to change a tire as part of the course using the tools in the car. It's one of the most valuable lessons I learned. I also greatly appreciate my floor jack and jack stands, though I don't carry those around in case of a flat tire.

They don't teach changing tires, proper use of jumper cables, or parallel parking anymore at private (expensive) driving schools. School systems no longer seem teach drivers ed anymore either. I taught my son how to do those things as those topics were not covered in expensive private driving school.

It's dangerous the way he is doing...One must first lock the wheels with some brick or wood before doing anything with car with jack on...!!!

This helped at a time in need... thanks!!

You are the man, Eric!

Hhh boyfriend? That was funny

Shame on dads for not teaching their kids how to do this

No idea why I got this video recommended LMAO

i love how he says "i can't tell you how many times someones asked me to check the air in my spare tire" like its occured every customer he's had.😂😂

old ETCG is like if Scotty Kilmer weren’t insanely toxic and generally unhelpful

Thanks

Can I replace brakes using OEM jacklift?

Thanks for this video, had a good laugh with the jokes inbetween!

Would WD-40 be appropriate for loosening tight lugs? Just a passing thought!

Best tutorial video ever!

The method Eric showed to use the jack to loosen the lug nuts does work. I actually used that method to loosen an extremely tight lower nut on a front sway bar link on a 2009 CR-V while the vehicle was on jack stands. The angle was awkward and I didn't have a lift. I cradled the open end of the wrench on the jack while having the box end on the nut. Crank the jack slowly and carefully and let the jack do all the work. Easy-peasy. 😀

I've been struggling taking my wheel all day! The Jack tip really helped me out a lot! Thanks!

just changed my first ever tire for my friend that i was with when his popped. you’re a lifesaver!

I am a 22 year old whose never changed a tire in their life. I just plowed through a bunch of snow drifts and my car dinged at me saying I had a flat tire. Too embarrassed and independent to call my dad or brother to come help me with my car problems once again, I decided to learn how to change my own tire. This video was so easy to follow and with it I managed to put my spare tire on. I cannot recommend this tutorial enough.

YOUR VIDEOS SAVED MY CAR!!! THANK YOU, ERIC!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

thanks Eric uncle for your educational video

Or, just use WD-40 to loosen the nuts…!

those so called reinforcing points are a joke, if you plan on keep your car outside and keep your car at least 10 years it will damage the integrity of the car and it will start rusting is that jack points after changing your tires with the jack provided
