borse2010 · 3rd August 2012, 08:02

Hi Guys

I have been wanting to get my wheels off and deep clean and protect them, i would prefer one of you guys to help me i dont mind coming over to you if your near Manchester or Leeds.

I know its easy i just dont have the equipment or confidence doing it on my own.

Anyone interested?

Its very easy Aaron
Slacken off the wheel nuts first
Jack it up
Remove nuts
Remove wheel
Do one wheel at a time
Fully tighten when its off the jack

All the equipment you need is in the boot

As robbo says easy peasy,

use a proper trolley jack and a axel stand, don't trust that piece of rubbish scissor jack in the boot

Trolley is better but TBH if you haven't got one, you make do!
Some blocks of wood or similar as support will work. Bricks have been known to be used in the past also...

I went out an bought a trolley jack only £25 - not risking my limbs with that piece of tinfoil in the boot

big blocks of wood are good

robbo51 · 3rd August 2012, 10:46

Its easy with the supplied Jack
Its fine..OK Trolly Jack is always better
Make sure youre on a flat road or drive and youll be fine

Recommend the axle stand then there is no chance of it falling off the jack.

robbo51 · 4th August 2012, 09:33

Apologies Aaron...You intimated that you didnt have the confidence to do it
Good luck

ElNino9 · 4th August 2012, 09:38

Id help if you were closer mate, as above tho really is dead easy pal

shinybadrobot · 4th August 2012, 09:55

I suppose, some thought (as I did), that one day you might get a flat, be out of phone range, and have to change a wheel to get home. So it might be god practice and improve your confidence. Sorry for any misunderstanding matey

shaunwistow · 4th August 2012, 18:59

Bring it to me Arron, i'll help you.

borse2010 · 5th August 2012, 02:26
