What's so difficult to change a spare?
Get a hydraulics bottle jack, very small n easy to use. Just make sure your tyre man don't over tightened the nut using his gun. Otherwise, u will have problem during emergency.

i was wondering if anyone of you actually buy those hydraulic car carrier when u travel out , in case your tyre puncture? it's kinda bulky . The one supplied by the car manufacturer i find difficult to use bcos have to turn so many time manually with a metal bar. This can be dangerous when stall on the highway. Any suggestion to alternative method to change tyre in a shortest time?

I'm a scissor jack fan all the way. More work to raise the car, but its safer to see the screw cogs holding up the whole assembly rather than a rubber valve inside hydraulic ones.

the L bar and scissor jack they provided is more than adequate already..just loosen the nuts cross section while the tyre is level on the ground, use your leg and bodyweight...then only jack up..similar prosedure to tighten when on the ground... torgue is like few "tick" sounds, 2-3 ticks, or 1/16 of the circumference.

difficult and dangerous. even 10 seconds on the highway consider dangerous. so u want it fast and remove your panic fear when changing tyre. u need the fast system. moreover, imagine the burning sensation of your palm when u do it.

Perhaps, use portable air compressor pump for a fast recovery and then drive to nearest R&R area for spare tyre change or nearest workshop for puncture repair. hmm.gif

i have a second thought about this air compressor. if a tyre is burst on the highway, this compressor is totally useless i presume. it's only good for slow leakage of air if it happen outside the home or town car park. for highway, my guess is beyond repairable . the leak is too big and even if u pump, a few meter will puncture again if travel to find a workshop is out of vicinity.
