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"

I will definitely call AAM cos I have no spare tyre in my car haha!

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.
ReplyDeleteFoongpc: How you gonna survive if you encountered the flat tyre? AAM will not replace a new tyre for you.
ReplyDeleteTwilight Man: I ended up replaced all 4 tyres.
Medie007: Already done~ when you are back to KL i show you my new tyres
Ev. C: oh I'm not the only one...

your blog is excellent....I really liked your blog, appreciate the great information about flat tyres
ReplyDeleteI 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! :)
