How to Safely Change a Tire: The Basics | Beginner's Step by Step Easy T...

In order to safely change a tire you'll need a tire iron and a jack. It is best to use a jack stand as well in case your jack fails. Many people get crushed every year by relying on their jack alone. If you absolutely must not use a jack stand than take all precautions to anticipate the vehicle coming down and the jack failing. This means keeping your body and all body parts out of the way between any part of the vehicle and the ground.
The first step is to make sure the vehicle is on flat ground. To be super safe place two wheel chocks on both sides of any wheel that is not to be changed out. Loosen the lug nuts (with the lug wrench) on the wheel before jacking it up. Then jack up the vehicle with a jack using part of the vehicle's frame as closest to the wheel/tire you are changing out treating the situation as if the jack will fail, slide the jack stand under the frame so it's snug and will hold if the jack should fail. Finish loosening the lug nuts on the wheel and remove them and set the aside. Remove the wheel and plug the spare on. Hand tighten the lug nuts on the new wheel getting them as hand tight as possible in a star pattern. Carefully remove the jack stand and lower the jack. Now tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern. If you used wheel chocks remove those now. Drive slowly to the nearest tire service station to get your tire repaired as soon as possible. Don't drive on the spare for longer than necessary as it is only made to be used as a temporary crutch.

Error Code P0411 and Air Recirculation Pump Repair

This error code was able to be fixed by using this method. This type of fix is not meant to be a long term or textbook fix. This is merely a short term band aid to get the error code to stop appearing. I had my music playing in the background while I was talking so I had to put music over the words in the video to avoid copyright issues. In this instance the case for the air circulation pump was leaking so it needed to be secured back together. In order to do this properly it would need to be removed. This is entirely possible, however, it would take a long time and a lot of effort. I decided to see what I could do to secure it in place. I first triad to use zip ties to secure the air circulation pump housing back together using zip ties. This didn't work the best because the zip ties' tensile strength wouldn't hold up during tightening. I decided to use some wire instead by cutting it into manageable lengths, running it through the hole, then tightening it down with a pair of hemostats. This took a long time and a lot of persistence but it worked and proved to be easier then pulling the whole thing out. The air circulation pump stayed together and the error code was reset. I did have to take it back into the auto parts store in order for the code to be removed as I had no code reading unit.

There are some measures you can take to make it a little harder to steal your tailgate.
