I called AAA. Very young guy was struggling getting the tire down but eventually got it. He cheated though and used a floor jack and impact to change the tire. Thanks for the demo.
I use 2 jacks and 3 wood blocks, could not get the wheel high enough during roadside flat without. 2500 HR. Let me know when your side door sticks, I have a brilliant easy fix for that known problem.
@@roadsideguy5902 I have pictures but no obvious way to send them. Basically I shortened the cable run by zip tying the top of the raceway that the cable release travels within, a yoke on a pivot type thing.
I am sure the the impact wrench will over torque the nuts. I use an impact wrench to loosen the nuts and use a torque wrench to torque them to about 140 ft. lbs.
@@roadsideguy5902 ok. At WalMart they use high torque impact air wrenches. I have to use a long breaker bar to loosen the nuts of a Toyota Sienna. I am sure they torqued them to over 250 ft lbs instead of 80-90 ft lbs.
Either you're using the wrong side. Where you have the wrong rod. Or the insert on the wench is stripped out. But you're absolutely correct that rod is freaking a piece of crap design.
I ended up ripping off the cup part that's supposed to guide the rod into the slot. Now it's easy to get in there and make the connection @@roadsideguy5902
Useless to lower your spare tire? Have you tried shining a flashlight into the socket to make sure your rod is engaged on the spare tire storage chain mechanism?
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to make this video! Getting the spare tire truly is the most difficult part
flat tire on highway watching, thanks for helping❤️👍👍👍

Yeah cool share your trick with me. I don't have a stock door now but I might one day.

@@a.a.6132 I see it all the time. Those old technology impacts are dangerous in the wrong hands.

Yes they do! Lol
That rod is fricking useless it won't engage on my van.
