AFTER THE PUNCTURE.
REPLACJNG THE WHEEL. Replacing a wlieel needs pare. Too many owners run the nuts up with their fingers, lower ihe car off the .jack, and tighten up with the wheel on the ground. This is wrong. If tke wheel is slightly canted on its studs the weight of the car may prevent it from bedding correctly, and isooner or later it will work loose. The best plan is to put the nuts on the studs and then, while tightening them with the fingers, slowly revolve the wheel. In this nianner the weight settles equally on all the studs.. The brace should then be applied, the wheel being heldj hy the brake or the knees as the case requires. When it is seen that the nuts are truly home the wlieel can be lowered for the final turn or two. A wheel so replaced will rarely be found loose.
