Changing tires on a car, Toyota Starlet, using tools in the car

Hi!

Time to change the winter tires to summer wheels.Summer is approaching here in Sweden, yeay..  Did a video of it. Hope you like some Starlet material. :)

Changing tires on a car, Toyota Starlet, using tools in the car



This is some kind of tutorial of how I change tires on my Toyota Starlet (EP91)

Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk! I'm not in any way responsible for your actions. You got to do your own research, and come up with a safe way to change tires. Some people will probably say this is not safe..
Here using original jack. Like, you know, if you got a flat out on the roads.

I like to minimize the amount of tools i need. I’ve used the original floor jack on all the cars during the years and have had no problems with it, some say it might be weak and you should get a better one, your choice. Just make sure you’re on a flat surface ant that the can take the weight of the jack (with a car)..AND.. make sure you put the jack on a safe place, and put it in the correct place on the car, otherwise the car may break or even fall down.
Put an extra tire under the car when you've lifted it, and never go under it! Dont do this on a windy day. The car might fall.
If you want, invest in a real floor jack

If you don’t know what you doing you might need a torque wrench. I don’t. After a while you get a feel for it.
