How to Change a Tire
0. Discover that your (rental) car has a flat tire.
1. Get the toy spare from the trunk.
2. Inspect the spare to make sure it's sound.
3. Report findings while partner retrieves jack from trunk.
4. Remove the lug nuts with the handle of the jack, using foot for leverage.
5. Continue loosening lugnuts by hand.
6. Stack lugnuts neatly for later use (this is very important!).
7. Demonstrate use of jack before inserting under vehicle.
8. Allow partner to practice turning crank.
10. Position jack properly under jack bracket.
11. Begin raising car with jack.
... and you'll have to figure out the rest by yourself, because the smaller partner had to pee, and the photographer had to take him.
