Wish we had filmed this experience.
Right rear tire goes flat in driveway. Ok, easy to change? well sort of.
Hook up compressor to blow up tire so we could go down the street and have the hole plugged hopefully. Tire does not air up,,what?
Discover tire has pushed a little off rim, jack up F150, remove tire, now tire has pressed somewhat to rim and airing up tire is a done deal and reinstalled.
We have a 2010 Ford F150 ,v8. standard pickup 2 wheel drive.
So I decide I will try to get the spare off the bottom of the truck bed and read the instructions for this simple feat.
Ok, you snap the 3 foot metal rod together, try to place it thru the bumper hole and into another hole where the 3ft pole is suppose to engage something and by rotating the 3 foot pole and thus lowering the spare tire.....after about 30 minutes , I gave up because the 3 ft pole never engaged the lowering unit.
Yes I have done this on my Dodge #350 van and it is simple, but not yesterday on the F150.
Moral of the story, call AAA if this happens on your rides and you will be better off. Will go to Ford dealership and let them show me how to do this,,,lol
PS- If any of you have never tried to change a time on your car or truck, you should practice this,,Murphys Law may get you....
