How to easily mount the spare wheel

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Wheel

How to mount the spare wheel if we have a flat tire? Actually, it is much simpler than you think. First of all, we need to understand if we have a repair kit or a spare wheel. In this case, we can proceed by first wearing the reflective vest, placing the warning triangle 50 meters before the car. It will be very useful to also have a pair of work gloves and a mat to kneel on. Remove our spare wheel and the jack from its compartment; loosen the bolts with the car resting on the ground. Once they are loosened, lift the car, finding the support point (each car has its own) under the central longitudinal beam. Once the car is lifted, we can remove the wheel. Now we mount the spare wheel starting from the top screw, then the other screws, tightening them slightly, then lower the car to the ground. Now we can tighten the bolts to 100/120 Nm, and the YouTuber gives us a tip on how to calculate the tightening torque without a torque wrench. Put the flat tire in the trunk and head to a tire shop to get it repaired, remembering that the spare wheel cannot travel at more than 80 km/h.
