The way in which a service is performed
Locating and securing the vehicle: The technician or driver performing the tire change will locate the vehicle and secure the area around it to work safely.
​
Equipment and Tools: The technician will need the proper tools to perform the wheel change. These may include jacks, wrenches for loosening wheel bolts, sometimes a wrench for loosening the spare wheel hub bolts, and other safety equipment.
​
Removing the faulty wheel: The technician will start by removing the flat wheel. This involves using the jack to lift the vehicle into the air and then loosening the wheel bolts.
​
Installing the spare wheel: The spare wheel is then fitted to the vehicle and the fixing bolts are tightened in a secure manner using a specific torque recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
​
Lowering the vehicle: After the spare wheel is installed and properly secured, the jack is lowered and safely removed from under the vehicle.
​
Spare wheel check: In some cases, a spare wheel check may be done to ensure that it is in good condition and can be used safely before the driver resumes driving.
