Tyre change.
On your driveway, in your garage, or wherever the car is parked.
01
The tools.
- Hydraulic jack for cars and SUVs
- Stands to secure the car during the change
- Torque wrench, 40 to 200 Nm, 1 Nm resolution
- Wire brush and ceramic paste for the hub
- Tread depth gauge
- Compressor for tyre pressure
02
Safety.
100–180 Nm
The right torque and tyre pressure, to the manufacturer's specifications.
I see things you might not, like rust, wear and bolts that are too tight.
Too much pressure wears the tyres in the middle, too little wears them at the edges.
A stable base under the jack and the axle stand.
