    Hey guys, are you having some trouble changing tires? Well, I've taken a video of a mechanic removing and then putting back one of my front tires. Here it is and I hope this could help:

    (I'm sorry if it's not that good, it's my first video of a car repair)

    Being able to change the tires of your car is very important. In order to change a tire, you should always have some tools with you. A jack, a wrench, and a metal bar. Oh, and don't forget the spare tire. :D

    Good demonstration. It would have made sense to me when I didn't know how to so I know someone will benefit greatly from it. Thanks for posting.

    I think the one thing that a lot of people do not know or don't take care to think of when changing their tires is that it's possible that your car can move. So for me I really do my best to find some rocks to position in front of my tires. I also always have a tire underneath my car. That way the height of the tire would be able to support the car if anything happened. It's just an extra precaution I always take because you never really know what could happen and you don't want to be stuck underneath the car or your foot stuck underneath the car or anything nasty because you Jack failed.

    The danger that can occur while changing a tire is something I learnt as a child. I would always see adults use large stones to prevent the car from moving while changing the tire so I got curious and asked. It is always good to know and practice this because you can truly never know when the jack may fail.
