"How to change a flat tire: In order to change a tire you&amp;#039;re going to need a jack, lug wrench, and spare tire. It&amp;#039;s rarely the case that you get a flat tire on a bright sunny day; it&amp;#039;s more likely to happen (to me anyway) on a dark and wet night. Therefore, aside from the obvious essentials, it&amp;#039;s not a bad idea to have a flashlight, gloves, a rain poncho, a hollow pipe, and an even a plank of wood. Step 1: Find a safe spot to pull over on the shoulder. It&amp;#039;s very important that you don&amp;#039;t stop your car on a hill or on a curved road. Make sure to set your emergency parking brake and turn on the emergency flashers.  Step 2: Loosen the lug nuts with the wrench before you attempt to jack up the car. If the nuts are too tight, slide your hollow pipe into the wrench to give yourself more torque. A longer wrench creates more torque, if you don&amp;#039;t have a pipe handy, try to stand on the wrench arm to use your full weight.  Step 3: Now you can try to jack up the car. Remember that every car has different places to put the jack. If the ground is soft and you find the jack sinking into the ground as you&amp;#039;re trying to jack it up, put the jack on top of the wooden plank so you have a solid surface to work from. Raise the car until the tire is about six inches off the ground.  Step 4: With the car raised, remove the nuts and hold the wheel on two sides and pull it straight out and off. Now you can place the spare wheel on the car.  Step 5: Tighten the lug nuts just enough to make sure that the wheel stay on the car while you lower it to the ground. Once it&amp;#039;s lowered, remove the jack from underneath the car.  Step 6: Now that the car is lowered you can tighten the lug nuts. Tighten each nut about half way and start and move to the next one across the circle. Go on tightening the lug nuts in such order until all of them are as tight as they can be in the following order:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
