1. Call AAM
2. Call friends to help
3. Call siblings
4. Do it yourself
Which is your answer?
I have a flat tyre on my way back from the Curve after my gym and snack last night. It was around 10pm. I was driving and suddenly i heard a very loud sound and my steering was tilt towards the left side of the car. So i quickly on the signal and stopped by the road... Oh no the tyre has just flatten.
WTH... THANKS TO MALAYSIA BOLEH POTHOLE.
Without wasting anytime, I transfered my laptop bag inside the car from the trunk, got hold of all the tools. And kick start the project.
The first thing i need to do is to locate the connector under the car to hold the Jack.
After i located the connector, i jacked up the car with the Jack and the given tools. Next was the unscrew part, unscrewing the 4 tighten nuts from the flat tyre was not an easy job. You need strength and tools. I was using leg to step, arm to pull to unscrew all 4 nuts.
Took out the flatten tyre and tried to fit the spare tyre on to the ring. The car was not high enough to place the spare tyre. So i continued to jack up the car until the spare tyre fit into the ring. Screwed the 4 nuts and made sure all the nuts were tighten. Again i have to use arm and leg to tighten the nuts. Of cause with the tools...
Anyway, it was a second workout for me and guess what? I figured out this was another type of workout which i wet my whole polo shirt and i felt the whole body muscle being worked out after i completed the project a.k.a changing the tyre.
I drove home safely "HOME SWEET HOME"

You're lucky. I knew someone who drove and busted all 4 tyres and rims of his MPV on the same stretch of road (Curve underpass towards kota d'sara). Hohohoho.
Foongpc: How you gonna survive if you encountered the flat tyre? AAM will not replace a new tyre for you.
Twilight Man: I ended up replaced all 4 tyres.
Medie007: Already done~ when you are back to KL i show you my new tyres

your blog is excellent....I really liked your blog, appreciate the great information about flat tyres
I used to call my friends to replace my flat tire, but now, I can do it myself. It's not hard to learn the process, you just have to study religiously. They’re glad that I keep my tools and spare tire in the trunk since I don't have to bother them anymore. And they don't have to rush to my location during midnight. Hehe! :)
