Your video is simple to understand as I followed your directions to the "T" and made what I thought was going to be a hassle into a happy adventure of learning. THANK YOU!!!
Carry a plug kit and air compressor and learn to plug a tire properly. Even with a sidewall puncture, you should be able to plug it enough to drive to the nearest tire shop.
Of course if you run skinny tires, getting flats from potholes is very likely, so better to buy an aftermarket spare then. Or just don't run skinny tires because the meager "handling" benefit isn't worth the PITA of having to change tires more often.
My Jack kit comes with a Rod which is threaded on one end screw it into one of the lug holes you can then slide the tire onto the rod this will ensure the holes are lined up and you can screw the lug nuts in remove the rod and put in the last lug nut
Had to do this a few days ago. An was scared of that lol jack. Waited 30 min for a new jack.. wish I would of pulled up TH-cam. Just was worried because the ground was level.
IMPORTANT. the loosening and final torqing should be done with the car suspension lifted with Jack, but the wheels still firmly on the ground. NEVER loosen or tighten with the entire weight of the car even on slightly loosened nuts..
Can anybody help me, i just bought space saver spare wheels, but original wheel nuts is to long, where to get shorter nuts ? Or any item number please?
Pause4Life: "Changing a tire on Mercedes couldn't be easier!" Also Pause4Life: "NO STUDS ON HUB MAKE IT HARD TO LINE UP" BTW, I think it's best to torque to spec with the tire _barely_ touching the ground and the jack supporting most of the weight.
The kit in the trunk has an alignment pin so you can put the tire on without issue, it screws into one of the lug spots.... I feel that everyone who says this either does not have a Mercedes, or does not go through their kit in the trunk.
@@PatricksDIY I didn't know that before I read your other comment here, but even without it, it didn't bother me much to -constantly- change the -Continental- tires on my dad's W221. I just worked around it by resting the center of the wheel on the circular lip on the hub and rotating it from there until I felt a lug bolt slot in. I mean, I probably would've known about if if I read the owner's manual, but like I said, it was my dad's car and I'm not interested in German luxury brands.
It is advised by tire professionals that You periodically rotate and balance your tires every 5,000 miles. It is a fallacy that you only balance wheels and tires when you get new ones installed. Don’t take my word for it, visit your local tire shop.
I was only here for the repackaging of the emergency kit 😅. If this is a video only for changing a tire you missed alot of key elements like engaging the parking brake, jack points, and tightening procedure 🤷🏼♂️
@@comm04bangr98 that's exactly the type of answer I would expect from a dumb piece of 💩 that overpaid for a lemon. I drive a tesla and your mom shifts the gears son.
For something that seems simple on the surface, you made a lot of good points, especially in regard to safety. You're a good instructor.
Thanks so much for this. Saved a massive problem during a storm. Really grateful.
Right I’m on the side of the road and this video saved me thank you and May God Bless Abundantly and have blessed day🙏❤️🙏

Thank u. Your video just saved us on the side of the road. Didn’t know where to put the jack! Very helpful
No jack and no spare in my car. Or a tire changing kit. I feel like the dealer should have mentioned it when I got the car.

Excellent, thank you
Tighten lugs slowly and in a star pattern. Don’t listen to the trolls. Good job.
Thank you for being on spot
Our Cars (Mercedes) come with an alignment pin that screws into one of the lug points so you don't have to struggle with it, its in the kit.
Thank you for this video man
Lots of talking but great education for those not sure. Also, safety is key as mentioned. Don't put your body under car.
Who else came hear to change their flat tire lol
This is helping right now on a lonely highway in UK
How are we
There’s a tool that comes with the kit, you screw it’s in a nut spot then align the wheel, check that out next time

Much easier to do on uneven ground.
IMPORTANT. the loosening and final torqing should be done with the car suspension lifted with Jack, but the wheels still firmly on the ground. NEVER loosen or tighten with the entire weight of the car even on slightly loosened nuts..
Thankyou, so helpful!!
Will this affect the tyre pressure sensors though
Thank ya, Brotha!!👍🏾

Do you have to balance the tire befor each time you rotate or change the tire?
A tire only needs to be balanced when a new tire is mounted to the rim.

It’s Important to balance your tires every service due to tire wear and other factors .

He talked about the park break lol
TheFadedSp
Easily changed in your tennis shorts , careful you don't scratch your Hublot... what am I saying, they're scratch resistant !
What type of puppy dog is that?
Almost if none Model after 2017 Mercedes Benz sold in USA have a spare tire.
More appropriate use your foot to loosen the lug nuts instead of your arms use your weight
😈Mine did not come with the lug nuts for the spare tire they're not the same🐶✌️
this sucked you took years to make this
WORTHLESS!!!! How is this any different from changing a tire on ANY car? You mention that "special key" and then never come back to it.
It needs a stupid tire hanging pin
Mercedez benz is the most towed car in the world. Js.
Because it's the most sold car i. The world
@@Amy-yb3pz actually it's not. It's just a luxurious pile of $h?t

Unless you own a Mercedes without a spare. 🥲
