The whole phrase is "Loosen the nuts, skipping every other one until you’ve worked your way around the wheel". It's an instructive manual of "How to Change a Flat Tire ~For Women~". I have the idea more or less but i can't put it in words. Can you help me with a translation? Thanks in advance.

pasando una/una si, una no
Como se trata de un manual para una mujer -u otra persona- que no sabe de mecánica, conviene usar las frases más simples y gráficas.
