How To Change A Tire

I like to use the method shown in the FSM for breaking the bead. In fact, I have a jack with a base that I use just for this. I use my truck to jack against rather than my Barracuda, but I have done this for many years now.

If you look at a jack base, you'll see that one face is arced to fit around a wheel.

That's pretty dangerous. At least it was for Daddy. I remember him trying that when I was a kid. The jack foot slipped off the sidewall and the top of the jack flipped down and hit him in the head. Took several stitches.
