So, if you want to replace the wheel yourself. It should be remembered that it is not worth doing without the need. After all, constantly unscrewing, twisting the screws (especially if there is no dynamometric key), car disks are worn out and deformation. Tip – to ride until the front tires reach a state of a close to the maximum wear (we will not take into account the replacement of summer rubber with winter).
But it happens that it is urgent to replace (breakdown or puncture). To begin with, accordingly, the tools and accessories that are needed are needed:
– Of course, a spare wheel;
– a jack designed for the weight of the car;
– board to substitute it under the jack; You may also need an architectural project of the house.
– The key is cylinder, for unscrewing the wheel mounting screws;
– Enormous stops 2 pcs. (exist on sale, but pairs of bricks, bars, etc. are also suitable. P.);
– a pump for pumping tires or a car compressor with a pressure gauge;
– a pair of gloves;
The replacement should be carried out on a safe, even section of the road, only with the most emergency – on the roadway of the road! Remember, security is first of all!
It is necessary to work carefully – do not throw unscrewed screws and nuts to the ground, they can get lost or you can score dirt with dirt. For them it is best to find dry, clean containers. Do not lean the spare wheel against the car, or the one that was unscrewed. At the most unexpected moment, it can fall and cause trouble.
