Flat tires can happen to anyone at any time. It’s always good to have a spare tire in your vehicle in case of an emergency. But what if you need to change your tire and don’t have the tool to take off the spare tire under your truck? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered! Here are some easy steps on how to take off spare tire under truck without tool.
Step 1: Find the Spare Tire
The first step is to locate the spare tire. Most trucks have a spare tire located under the vehicle, usually near the back. Look for a small handle or crank located near the spare tire.
Step 2: Loosen the Spare Tire
Use your hands to turn the handle or crank counterclockwise to loosen the spare tire. If it’s difficult to turn, try using a cloth or shirt to get a better grip.
Step 3: Lower the Spare Tire
Once the tire is loose, keep turning the handle or crank until the tire is lowered to the ground. Make sure to keep your hands and feet away from the tire as it comes down.
Step 4: Remove the Spare Tire
Once the tire is lowered, you can remove it from the vehicle. Be careful not to damage the tire or the rim as you remove it.
Step 5: Inspect the Spare Tire
Before installing the spare tire, inspect it for any damage or punctures. If the tire is damaged, it’s not safe to use, and you’ll need to call for assistance.
Step 6: Install the Spare Tire
With the damaged tire removed, it’s time to install the spare tire. Align the rim with the wheel studs and push the tire onto the studs. Make sure the tire is flush against the hub.
Step 7: Tighten the Lug Nuts
Once the spare tire is in place, it’s time to tighten the lug nuts. Use your hands to tighten each nut as much as possible before using a wrench to finish tightening them.
Step 8: Raise the Vehicle
Once the lug nuts are tight, use the handle or crank to raise the vehicle back up. Make sure the tire is secure and tight before driving.
Step 9: Store the Damaged Tire
After installing the spare tire, store the damaged tire in the trunk or bed of your truck. Make sure it’s secure and won’t roll around while driving.
Step 10: Get Your Tire Repaired or Replaced
Using a spare tire is only a temporary fix. As soon as possible, get your damaged tire repaired or replaced.
Remember, changing a tire can be dangerous, so always use caution and follow these steps carefully. If you’re not comfortable changing a tire, don’t hesitate to call for assistance.
