Flat

I was on my way back as I waited for my boss to text me back when I got off at my exit when I saw someone on the side of the road with a flat tire.  I watched them for a little bit while I came up the ramp and I pulled over and asked if they needed any help.  “We would love some help, we can’t get this tire off.”  We proceeded to beat the T wrench they had trying to get the spare tire off the back of their Jeep.  I ended up taking one guy down to the gas station that was down the road and we pumped up the spare tire to pressure and then came back and tried everything to get the flat tire off without doing any damage.  That turned into the car falling down off the jack because the jack was not big enough.  That is when I remembered that the jack in my truck might lift higher than their Jeep one.

The jack I had for my truck was able to get the Jeep off the ground just enough to where we could get the flat off and the spare on.  With us jumping on the T wrench, the lug nuts were as tight as we could get them.  I pointed them down to the nearest autos store I knew which was across the street from the gas station and then I went home after making sure they were all good and nothing else was damaged.
