    I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
1. Remove the bike wheel: First, you need to remove the wheel that needs the tire changed. If it's the rear wheel, you'll need to disengage the bike chain from the gear cassette. Use the fast-release lever or, if your bike isn't equipped with one, you may need to use a wrench to loosen the nuts on the wheel axle.
2. Deflate the tyre: If the tire still has some air, remove the cap from the valve located on the inner part of the wheel. Some bikes have a Schrader valve (same as car tire valves) and some have a Presta valve (these are long and skinny). For Schrader valves, press on the small pin inside the valve to let the air out. For Presta valves, unscrew the small nut at the top, then press to release the air.
3. Remove the tyre: Use a tire lever (special tool) to pry the tire off the bike rim. Insert the flat end of the tire lever beneath the tire edge and use it to pry up the tire, revealing the inner tube.
4. Remove the inner tube: Once the tire has been freed, reach in and gently pull out the inner tube.
5. Inspect the tyre and inner tube: Look for any punctures or sharp objects that may have caused any flats. If you found a puncture in the tube, you may need to either patch it or replace the tube.
6. Mount the new tyre or inner tube: If you're replacing the inner tube, inflate it just enough so it maintains its shape, then place it inside the tire. Make sure the valve stem is sticking through the valve hole in the rim. If you're replacing the tire as well, place one side of the tire onto the rim before putting the tube in. Then, tuck the other side of the tire into the rim, making sure not to pinch the tube.
7. Inflate the tyre: Using a bike pump, inflate the tire to the recommended PSI (found on the sidewall of the tire).
8. Replace the wheel: Place the wheel back onto the bike frame. If it's the rear wheel, you'll need to re-engage the bike chain with the gear cassette. Ensure the wheel is aligned correctly and, with the fast-release lever or wrench, secure the wheel back onto the frame.
9. Check everything: Test your brakes, ensure the tires are seated correctly, and take a short cautious ride to confirm that everything works as expected.

Full coverage auto insurance typically encompasses collision, comprehensive, and liability insurance. However, engine damage is covered under specific conditions. If the damage results from a covered incident, such as a collision or environmental factors (comprehensive), then yes, it is covered. But, wear and tear or mechanical failure due to poor maintenance is not covered. It's crucial to review your policy details since coverage can vary by provider. For engine protection against mechanical failure, consider adding mechanical breakdown insurance to your policy. Always maintain your vehicle and keep records of services to prevent disputes over claims related to engine damage.

Yes, NAPA Auto Parts stores offer a service to check engine lights. This service typically involves using a diagnostic tool to read the error codes from your vehicle’s onboard computer system. These codes help identify the specific issue causing the engine light to turn on. It's an essential step in vehicle maintenance and repair because the check engine light can indicate a range of problems, from minor issues like a loose gas cap to more serious ones like engine malfunctions. While NAPA provides this service, it's crucial to understand that diagnosing the problem is the first step. After identifying the error codes, a proper assessment and repair, which might involve further inspection and replacement of parts, are necessary to resolve the issue. It's advisable to address check engine light warnings promptly to avoid potential damage to your vehicle.
