For example, you would need a truck jack that can lift
several thousand pounds and a torque wrench that can
generate several hundred foot-pounds (Y)of
twisting force.
{CAUTION:
If you try to put air back into a tire that has run
flat, even a tire that was extremely low on air,
the tire can have a sudden air-out. This could
cause you to lose control of the vehicle and
have a serious crash. Do not refill a flat or very
low tire with air without first having the tire
taken off the wheel and checked for damage.
So if you’re stopped somewhere by a flat or damaged
tire or wheel, you should get expert help. See Roadside
Assistance Program on page 7-5.
