2/15 Does anyone find something wrong with these directions? I got a flat
tire and the instruction manual said to lower the car jack first
before screwing in the bolts after replacing the tire with a spare.
Wouldn't that cause the spare tire to be unevenly bolted in or does
that not matter?
\_ OH MY GOD. This must be from a Soda female. All the females, when
\_ Sexist twerp
stranded or have problems, go to the instruction manual and start
following the directions, step by step. No wonder there aren't many
female mechanics, cuz they're simply mechanically challenged.
\_ So you automatically knew to lower the tire?
\_ OH MY GOD. This must be from a Soda male. Only soda males can
be such jerks. -- another Soda male.
\_ The instructions are correct. You don't want to tighten the
nuts while the car is on the jack. That's dangerous! Tighten
them by hand first and then lower the jack before tightening
them well. --dim
\_ Why would it be dangerous? Intuitively, it seems more
reasonable to do it while the car is off the ground so the
wheel won't be crooked when you tighten the bolts.
\-you shake the car.
\_ You shake your bootie!
\_ You shake after you whizz...
\_ You always need to put on and off the bolts while the wheel is
touching the ground. Otherwise, you can't torque the bolts well
as the wheel will spin, OR, you may knock the car off the jack.
Dim is correct. Put the wheel on, and hand tighten the bolts,
which will keep the wheel aligned, THEN lower the car and torque
the bolts. -nweaver
\_ Exactly -- use only non-wrench force while the car is
precariously propped up on the jack. Also, consider
tightening the bolts again after driving a short
distance on the new wheel.
\_ Just ride bikes!
