Just Another Trip Home

How to fix a flat tire:

Step 1: First get flat tire(s) and get stranded in the middle of nowhere where the coverage ranges from poor to LOST.

Step 2: Bring out the jack and place it firmly under the platform (it's like a cube dent, which fits the jack's head) of the affected tire's side. Then firmly (but not with force) grab hold of the handle and jack it away until the flat tire is left hanging and sagging above the ground...

Step 3: Then get everyone to get as close as possible to the jacking to lend a helping hand and ensure the success of the jacking. Have at least a colleague to have a peek from above to get an aerial view while the jacker jacks on the ground on his belly. We don't want to jack wrongly and cause a mechanical mishap due to misuse of the jack.

Step 4: After the jack is successful, pull the flat tire out and bring in a new one, which is usually located in the rear.

Step 5: Shove the new, fresh, tight and firm tire into the relevant place. Then remember to screw all the nuts around the tire's rim to lock it into place. Then we're good to go.
