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.

Video about owning a Toyota Starlet as a first car

Came over a pretty new video about owning a Toyota Starlet as a first car. I agree with him, but he doesnt seem to mention the most important about the car. That´s it reliable..Thats the prime reason for me.. Simple, fun, and reliable.

He´s done som modifications to the car, it´s a non turbo. About 95 / 100 horsepower.

Take a look at this Starlet from 1999:

Preventive maintenance: Changing cambelt video, Toyota Starlet, 4E-FE

Video of me changing cambelt in my car.

Date of replacement: 2015-07-20

I did not change the tensioner pulley and the idle-pulley, the condition were fine. Felt perfect in their bearings and the car has only done 76090 km, so I only changed the belt. If the bearing is going bad you will here them also. Hey this is Toyota quality, they will last atlest double the miles before they need replacement.

Always glad when I get some emails from people pleased with the videos and that it helped them out.

Johnny from Australia

"I'm writing to you from Australia after watching your videos and reading your steps for changing the timing belt on a Toyota starlet 1997. Same car as me!

Thanks to you, I successfully replaced the belt, tensioner, idler (and water pump while I was in there...)

It was really helpful to watch how you did it. Thanks so much!"

"I've attached more of the water pump and tensioner/idler if you want to post those too. I only drive the car maybe 200km in a whole week, but so far I have had it for 12 years and only changed the oil regularly. I did have to replace the CV joints once (both) as they were leaky, but that's it! Great car."


Here's some photos.
