Easily replace punctured/damaged car tires with spare/stepny wheel
Tipped by: Deadly Tips on 2010-02-07
We think of the spare wheel in the rear box of car only when the one of the tires is flat during a travel. If you are not much experienced with car emergency servicing, you will definitely find it difficult to replace the punctured / damaged tire mid of the road. The sole reason being the tight nut bolt fixture which is not so easy to loosen.
At this time, you realize that the tools given with car toolkit are not enough to replace a wheel. If you can take a little precaution today, you can handle such situations with ease.
This tip expects you to spend some small amount to buy a metal pipe of 2 feet length and say 1/2 or 3/4 inch diameter (based on your car's spanner). The length of the spanner lever matters a lot while you try to screw or unscrew the nut-bolt fixture. Longer pipe attached to spanner lever will make it a lot easier to remove the bolts without any hard effort.
Additional tip is that you have to keep that pipe always in your car along with the toolkit.
