Is it even possible for anyone to change their own tires these days? Last time I tried, I discovered that the dudes who’d installed the tires had used an air wrench to practically weld the nuts in place. Had to knock on several doors looking for help until I found a large neighbor with a torque wrench. Now I just call AAA.

Donald, it’s a Catholic blog! Lol
But seriously, I would liked to have learnt to change a tyre. I see the value in knowing how to do all things incase the need arises. Just like it’s worth a man knowing how to cook at least one meal on his own. You never know when you might need the skill.
On another note, a woman changing a tyre in a hijab or Burkha could be an occupational hazard. 😂
Southcoast– you might want to take your car to a decent service station and have them check the idiots didn’t do damage to the bolt part.
It’s really not fun to be driving along and have the wheel of your car pass you by. There’s a reason that max torque on wheels is not “weld them down” level….
If we got a flat, I’d have to show my husband how to change the tire; I’m sure he could figure it out, but he’s never had the opportunity. Grew up in places where you’d probably get hit if you tried.
I’ve changed a tire on a used TR3 which I shared with my brother and later on my ensign car a MGB. Both had spoke wheels; not difficult. Using a floor mat when wearing a skirt and heels is a good tip. The first time I took the Triumph in for a tune up the garage charged me for 6 points and plugs. When I realized the Triumph had 4 cylinders and I’d had been snookered, I read the manual front to back. That was then. Now I would call AAA, especially since my state does not have shoulders on 2 lane roads.
Foxfire, thanks for the very good advice. Alas, though, my VW bug and I reluctantly parted company in the mid-eighties, due to another mechanic neglecting to bolt the engine down after some work I can’t remember. Wish I still had it.
I am probably one of the least mechanically inclined men alive and this thread shows how times change. When I was growing up learning how to change tires was a rite of passage. I have changed tires several times. I do agree it is harder now, mostly because the jacks provided in most cars today seem like useless toys compared to the jacks of thirty years ago which were built in a sturdier fashion. I wouldn’t trust them to hold up a car.
