Do you have a jacked up car that needs some extra support? If so, you’re in luck! This simple tutorial will show you how to put a jack under your car to provide the necessary support for getting your car fixed or moved.
What you need
In order to safely jack up a car, you will need the following:
-A jack
-A floor jack
-An 18″ box wrench
-A crowbar
-Safety goggles
-Work gloves
-Tape measure
-A straight edge or level
-Paint or a sealant to protect the paintwork
Jack up your car with caution: Make sure the area below the car is clear before beginning. If your car has four wheel drive, disengage the system before jacking up the car.
1. Place the jack on the ground near the front of the vehicle. The front of the jack should be facing down. The side of the jack that will be touching the car should have a raised lip on it. This is so you can rest your foot on it while lifting the jack. 2. Place your box wrench onto the bolt that goes into the chassis of the vehicle and turn it until it becomes tight (a few turns are enough). 3. Raise the jack using your wrench and place it as far into the chassis as possible. 4. Grab hold of one end of the crowbar with one hand and use your other hand to hold onto one
How to do it
If you have a car that has a jack under it, then this is the guide for you. Follow these simple steps and you will be up and running in no time.
1. Park your car so that the rear wheels are facing down.
2. Place the jack under the car and elevate the car until it is off the ground.
3. Move the car forward so that the front of the jack is resting on the ground.
4. Push down on the jack to lift up the car and remove it from underneath the car.
Why it works
Putting a jack under a car can be a quick and easy way to get it moving again. The jack provides leverage, which helps the car start moving. There are a few things to keep in mind before you put the jack under the car:
1. Make sure the ground is stable. If the ground is unstable, your car could fall over.
2. Keep an eye on the car while it’s being jacked up. If it starts to move too quickly or if it falls over, stop what you’re doing and safety check the car for damage.
3. Use caution when removing the jack. Be sure to use both hands to avoid dropping it and causing further damage to the car.
4. Be sure to replace the jack after use so that it doesn’t wear out and cause further damage to your vehicle.
Conclusion
