That may not seem like much, but honestly, have you done it? I mean, without help or AAA?
The caravan took a nail last week and I have been hesitant to change the tire myself. Last time I tried to change a tire, I had to jump up and down on the nut thingy (see my expertise?) to loosen the bolts. Needless to say, I did not fair well and had to get some professional help.
Today, I decided to take on the challenge without help. I know someone would have been willing to change it for me. I just didn't want to pay. I also wanted to overcome the fear of being "just a girl" who should stick to "girly things."
Side note, what the fuck does that mean? I've had several guy friends throughout my life offer to do "guy things" for me. Pound in nails, break tree branches, change oil, etc. etc. I know I'm a chick and not very big, but I've done my share of roughneck stuff. I know that all this comes from a place of love, but seriously, when did being a chick limit my ability to use a screw driver or mow a lawn?
Anyway, it did take about three hours and yes, I had to use my full body weight to create enough leverage to pry the bolts off, but I did it!
I did it!
Even better, my spare is a full size tire so I can be lazy and take forever to get the other one repaired.
Not bad for a chick. Though, I was not a fan of all the dirt. Eewwwwy, dirt.
