gordon92: I was just about to drive to the shops when I noticed my Freelander had a bloody flat tyre. Thankfully I noticed it before driving away from the house or otherwise I could have been out on the busy road before I realised I had a flat tyre
gordon92: I was about to go shopping when I discovered my Freelander had a bloody puncture, The rear tyre was as flat as a pancake, Thankfully I had noticed it before I left home
gordon92: My first job is to position the jack in the proper place under my Freelander.
gordon92: With my jack in position I now have to jack my Freelander to a height that I can fit on my spare wheel
gordon92: With a heavy 4 X 4 it is a strenuous job to jack up the car sufficiently high to remove the flat tyre. Fortunately the jack supplied with my car is easy to operate even for a woman
gordon92: I loosened the wheelnuts before jacking up the car. Now the flat tyre was clear of the ground I can undo the 5 nuts holding on the wheel. The Freelander is supplied with a long strong wheelbrace which gives me leverage to loosen tight nuts.
gordon92: Trying to look as elegant as possible I loosen all the nuts.
gordon92: Eventually all the nuts were loosened
gordon92: With my gloves keeping my hands clean I hold the dirty tyre and unscrew the nuts.
