So they’re jacking it up to use the weight of the car to provide the torque needed to undo the bolt. Why do I have a feeling the bumper is the weak link in this scenario and all they’ll end up with is a stuck bolt and a hole in their bumper.
I think the wrench is braced on the hitch; it only appears that it’s touching the bumper. It’s hard to tell, but giving them the benefit of a doubt, that’s what it looks like to me.
I see that now. That would work, but it still looks like it’s pressing against the bumper too.
Did it work? That is the question. And how many ugga duggas wound it have taken?
Shake hands with danger.
We did this. Tried to change a tire a d broke 3 jacks. Had to lift the car up as my partner tried to jam a kank under the car. Eventually it snapped and we had to call a tow truck. Just asked the guy to crank it up so I could change my tire
How did the jacks break? Let alone 3 of them?
I can’t remember exactly. Think the jacks were on soft ground and they moved under the weight of the car. Slipped and the car came crashing down on them. Went through 2 I think. 3rd survived
use the power of the car to tighten a bolt.
I’ve got a 600mm adjustable spanner and a 920mm pipe wrench for this job, it’s easy to set them up so I can pull them together with my hands and break the lock on the bolt.
