Everyone should know how to use the jack that comes with his or her car. Try this at home so if you ever get a flat, you'll know where the jack is and how to use it.

  • "If you use a jack stand?" there shouldn't be an if lol, never trust a jack on its own, that's a death wish

  • Notes to all:

    1:Chocks aren't necessary in all situations.

    2:Jack the car up a little, but leave the wheel touching in order to initially loosen the nuts. Once they will spin freely jack the car the rest of the way up.

    3: On larger vehicles with hydraulic type jacks you place them on the axle rather than on the side of the car.

  • @gunsoulja I would agree if you are getting under the car, but the spare tire and jack kit in your trunk does not usually contain a jack stand.

  • Should ALWAYS use a jack stand. But if you dont have one.... using a floor jack is much safer to trust on it's own. but still not recommended. The little shtity ones that come with the car is just asking to be killed.

  • @omguregood yes. the car will roll back, dont do this stuff on a hill lol

  • @gibsonlespaul2 sorry about your loss.

  • Nice Audi Mate

  • is it dangeroud if its not a flat ground?

  • come on man, Jack it up Not off.

  • I wish my Uncle could have seen this, He was killed today while jacking up a Shed to move it.

  • I think you should add gloves or towels to the list. When I change my tires from flat on the road the bolts are too hot.
