I find it amusing how the U.K has different names for the same things that we call by different names in the United States. What you call a "power bar" we call a "breaker bar". Your "axle stand" is our jack stand". Good video. I am glad the Fortwo can bring us all together.
Ngl I like the sound of Power Bar! Lol
Thanks again for your video. Don't listen to people bad words. You help people and that is amazing. I am watching all your videos.
You are a kind hearted soul. Thank you for your kind words. It’s all I’ve wanted to do and that is save people money and time. 💪😏
@@smarte.r.1450 we need more people like you in the world. And reading comments, you can be proud of what your are doing. Now I have to have dinner, tomorrow I will continue with other videos.
😂😂😂the guy bought a brand new outfit for the video 😂😂
😂😂😂 what can I say …. The monetisation worked wonders on my wardrobe!!
@@smarte.r.1450 monetisation 🤣🤣 you wish
@@smarte.r.1450I like that response lol
@@TheNpcNoob thanks. Being ex military I do enjoy the banter. 💪😉
Hi, I appreciate all your videos and effort you put in them, I have a suggestion, What is extremely annoying me is the volume of your video introduction it is way up than the actual video content, once again I truly appreciate your effort and I gave you a thumps up even before watching your videos since I know what is in it, but please consider to make the same kind of volume for all the entire videos from beginning to the end. thanks a lot, cheers
Your feedback is very much appreciated...thank you for your mind words.. It's been said and I will and have, amended new videos audio.. Thank you for taking the time to be kind
Excellent opener graphics!
That's super kind of you to take the time to comment.. I have to admit though, the audio is too loud.😕..
I simply used Apple IMovie "trailer "openers... Made a no I'd out of them.. Stitched them.. Then saved it as a file.. Now I use often I make a new video.. I have one I need Romans but it won't straining here in the UK
HELLO LOUIS!
I LOVE THE VIDEO!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!🌻
Mate I love your opener graphics
ambitionsskyyyy why thanks. !! They ALL come from Apples IMovie and trailer premade options. I just cut and paste them and played around. Saved them as intros and outros.. but. If you make them and they work.... it’s work worth doing. Thanks again
Thanks so much!! This is very helpful!!
Thank you so much. Top video. Great help. :)
Thanks for the kind words. Plenty more self help home service mechanic stuff on here. 🙏
By chance could you tell me what socket you use to remove the rim I been having rough time figure out
SOUTHERN of the top of my head 15mm.
SOUTHERN also it’s mentioned in the video. Lol. Just checked myself
I got an uneven wear with one of the rear tires, most places in the US won't remove the tire from the rim to swap and rotate them with the other tire in the rear. Any suggestions? Wheel alignment cost more than a single new tire here in the US.
Javan Dell check tyre pressure. Is the wear on the outer edge? If so. Poor tyre pressure and natural weight of just the driver. Sounds simple but it’s normal. If not check the suspension. If it’s got a stanchion blown....
Smart E.R. Thanks. I always keep the pressure as stated on the door panel. Will check again. Maybe lower it this time as the wear is on the outside edge.
Sorry, but every time I come across your video, I go AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
4:08 "hand tight"
4:54 "full contact with the floor"
If you've only gone "hand tight", putting too much weight on the ground can allow the wheel to shift a bit, possibly causing it to end up not centered once the bolts are fully tightened (from experience with non-hubcentric wheels). Bouncy-bouncy while driving, and possibly allowing the bolts (or nuts) to loosen once under way.
I normally tighten (in the air) by either smacking the brace/breaker bar/wheel wrench with my hand to get the bolts *firmly* seated, then lower the wheel until it's touching the ground just enough to not spin while tightening.
5:12 "the professionals will use an air gun"
Not any professional I know.
In the shop where I work on all makes of car all day, every day, the only time I use air is on bigger vehicles (trucks, lorries, whatever you call them), and even then at low power, with a "torque stick" to limit the force to about 2/3 of specifications. (We also have the fancy electric guns, so regulating the force is now much easier). Either way, final tightening is *always* done with a proper torque wrench.
5:34 "but not on the locking one"
Correction: ALL bolts (no nuts on the Smarties) get the same torque: 110 Nm (aka 81 ft-lbs). No difference for the lockers.
Just like you said at 4:28... "if you over-tighten one more than the other"
Same goes for under-tightening one more than the others.
Particularly if you only have 3 to play with.
Okay, I'm done. :)
Holden McGroin glad you got that off your chest. I’m only 52. I’ve done my fair share of tyre changes as a young man.... I have used this method religiously for decades. Never have I had a “wobbly wheel” never has one come loose. Never has one come off.
This was how I Was taught .... I don’t want to trivialise you’re comments ... but I’m glad you gotten this off your chest sir
The aim of this video was to allow people less confident and sometimes stranded feel empowered to do a wheel removal change.
If you want to go into the minutia of wheel/tyre changes of professional companies ... many studies and stings here in the uk have been done on tyre companies and how they take advantage of customers when offering “FREE WINTER” tyre checks. And scare the bejesus out of them to buy tyres when not needed.
I’d you come across my video and it offends you I’m sorry I can’t help algorithms
Have a wonderful day. Stay safe and keep smiling 😁
Axel stand
Trolley jack
Power bar
Lock and wheel
Sounds like the beginning of a rap
I’ve got the same smart as you. Is it okay to put the wider tyres on the back instead of the front ?
Just at the moment there’s a sort of grinding noise so i’m thinking of swapping it around. thank you!! 🤣😂
Noey James oh dear. The larger thicker tyres SHOULD be in the back as standard 😳
As for grinding does this only happen as you turn sharply?
Smart E.R. not sure just rolled off my drive and heard it. it’s less of grinding more of a rubber scratching sound tbh!
Swap them wheels around buddy and see how it goes
Do they have a wheel Jack it's just I haven't seen one on mine
No sir. They do not. You may want to invest in a trolley Jack, soooooo much easier or maybe a scissor type from a scrap dealer or dismantler?
Great Video! How do you fasten the plastic cover plate underneath the car?
Cover plate? where?
Oh, I see the under tray... Ive never removed it sorry!
Is an oil change easy to do for a smart car?
alphacharlie65ms very very easy. Check out the channel. I have done this a couple of times
The smart wheels becomes 110nm
Where is lock nut located in the car for storage?
David Chambliss
Two out of the THREE cars I have or have owned had them in a separate locking wheel nut box. The other car had them in the paperwork folder I had with the car purchase. Have you tried the obvious glove box (if there is one) or the Cargo netting?? Finally I found ONE of the said boxes in the hidden storage area on the inside of the tail gate where the convertible roof bars are stored
@@smarte.r.1450 bought used, guess it's gone. Replacement part?
Possibly not. You CAN buy a tool to remove them but it will destroy the nut and if you get into complications it could be difficult. Try a tyre replacement shop for the removal but buy replacements on line in advance 😉
Smart roadster wheel wrench position
I have no idea what’s the question
Are you going to follow this with a vid on how to open the door?
Gary Towne not every person knows how to change a wheel fella. And not everyone is confident to wing it. The jacking point can be a pain to see and if you don’t use it the damage can be costly.
Its like me mak8ng a video on how to take off a bicycles wheel off 😂😂😂
5000 views mean some people had difficulty I guess... have you made many videos for youtube?
your intro suck dud. stop it with the dream XD
Thanks for the kind words. Peace and love.
THERE'S NO NEED FOR THE STUPID LOUD MUSIC !!!!!!
RUSS agreed. We all learn but glad you found it useful
I hate that intro
It is annoying a bit I know
