i know how to do the whole thing. i just never used a jack like this. instead of having a point of contact to meet with the notch on the underside of my car this jack has a much broader, flatter end. it should go against another flat surface but i don't know where. i'm not a fan of cars so don't give me a list of car parts. please give me an idea of what part of the car is best for holding its entire weight.
the rest of the tire change is under control.

You can place it under the frame near the tire, or under a rear shock if it's the rear tire. The frame is just in from the edge of your car. Runs pretty much from front tire to rear tire.

These cheeky bastards here think that they can win your ten points by stating the obvious. I happen to know that the flat part of the jack goes on the inside concave part of your armpit. Whilst jacking your pit must be perpendicular to the ground at all times, or your Kneuter valve may explode, causing your Johnson rods to hang far below the federal standard. Try to keep your chin up, and hopefully by now some unsuspecting, halfway good looking man has come along and taken control of the situation. As for your answer about yams, I would argue the availability of Yams on the market is quite strong. Although the common Beauregard sweet potato has felched it's way into the market mysteriously mis-labeled as a yam, any true yam enthusiast would laugh in the eyes of such an impostor. Ha, I say.

What kind of car do you have? Is it a car, an SUV, a truck? Is the piece a flat plateau like part? If so, it may need to be placed under the lift points. There is usually one lift point at the front and one at the back of the car. Check in your owner's manual and you can also call the maker (Chevy, Mazda, Honda, etc) of your car for help or to buy a different jack.

Most likely there will be a frame rail running along the side of the car beneath the doors, usually about eight to ten inches from the bottom of the doors. You can place the jack under this rail and then jack it up slowly and watch for any distortion of the rail. If it looks strong enough, proceed. The alternative is to place the jack under the axle and jack that up.

The Speedometer The speedometer in extraordinarily much each and every automobile runs off the fee of the transmission, no longer the fairly tires. although, some previous Volkswagens and different makes and fashions do have a speedometer cable that runs directly to the front wheels, yet it extremely is amazingly uncommon. The gears that are rotating interior the transmission will spin at an widely used fee for each velocity the automobile travels at, and that's transferred to the speedometer by a magnetic cutting-edge regular as an "Eddy cutting-edge." the speedier the gears spin, the extra electromagnetic container is created and the better the needle is going up on the speedometer in the dashboard. subsequently, as lengthy by using fact the wheels and tires are inventory sized, the speedometer will study properly. enable's look at why changing tire length might influence the speedometer. Altered Tire length for people who've off-highway autos and positioned better tires on for extra desirable overall performance on the course, the speedometer would be affected. because there is extra floor section and a much better circumference on the outdoors fringe of the tire, the wheels will actual spin slower at any given velocity than the inventory setup might. subsequently, the speedometer in the automobile will study under the fairly velocity it extremely is being traveled. Likewise, a smaller tire on a low-rider, case in point, will ought to spin speedier than a inventory one to maintain the comparable velocity, and subsequently will reason the speedometer to study speedier than the fairly fee traveled. it extremely is taken into consideration necessary recognize this for community velocity regulations and protection customarily. the speedier the automobile is going, the better off the speedometer would be. while the automobile is sitting nevertheless, the speedometer will study 0 with the two set of tires on. although, as quickly as the automobile starts off rolling, the discrepancy grows.

While the car is still flat on the ground, loosen the bolts with your feet by putting the crow bar on the bolts and loosening it with your body weight via the feet. Then use the jack to lift the car, take the bolts off, then take off the tire, then put on the new tire, screw on the new bolts, then lower the vehicle and tighten the bolts with your feet.

Then you should be awight!!
