Tire rotation with BASIC hand tools.

[@preacher1435]

Great video. Audio, camera angles, explanations and extra information are all top notch. 👊 Good job.

[@ToolDemos]

Thanks Preacher, I really appreciate that.

It's a pleasure. People are usually quick when it comes to criticism, I feel it should be the other way around. Giving kudos when something is well done, I find, is way more productive. Will definitely be going through your library, I'm expecting my first new car in supposedly 6 to 8 months. Anything I can do myself that won't void my warranty I'll try and do. I'll be needing the extra dough $$$ for those dealership services. Thanks again. 🙏

Great work Sir! As I grow in age and begin understanding the value and satisfaction of working on your possessions I fully appreciate this.

[@ToolDemos]

I’m glad to hear that! A good attitude will take you far in life.

The Harbor Freight Daytona jack stands are top notch nowadays. Getting a 6 ton pair this weekend sometime.

[@ToolDemos]

I guess they improved their design. 👍

[@donnie017]

@@ToolDemos They sure did. They improved a lot of their tools, probably why they’re growing so quickly.

[@donnie017]

Quick update, I used the 6 ton jack stands 2 weeks ago to support my F250 Super Duty while I installed a leveling kit on the front. They worked flawlessly.

[@bobgox]

excellent tips as always Steve, sent this vid to my brother as well so he can hopefully stop asking me to do this haha. hope you are having a great summer my man !

[@ToolDemos]

Haha, we’ll see. Thanks, it’s crazy hot in the PNW right now, but I can still get some work done in the mornings. Hope yours goes well too. Cheers!

grate video

[@ToolDemos]

Thanks Joe, I appreciate you watching.

[@M4ttj0nes]

I’m a bit confused - did you use 4 jack stands and remove all wheels and then rotate tires? If not can you quickly explain how a rotation is done with 2 stands

[@ToolDemos]

2 jack stands. Put one at RR location, remove tire and roll it to RF. Second jack stand under RF, remove that tire. Install first tire at RF, remove jack stand. Roll second tire to LR - carry jack stand to LR. Repeat at each corner, following the tire with jack and jack stand. Finally end up back at RR then remove that first jack stand.

[@varmintmaster]

If you jack at the pinch point where do you place the jack stand, is it safe to place the stand away from the indicated area?

[@ToolDemos]

Yes, there are reinforced areas on the car that are safe lift points, other than pinch welds. Each car is different, you can check the manual to find yours.

[@KarposLazarus]

Inflate your tires the side looks horrible . Use 40PSI to avoid this.

$227 for a torque wrench?!

[@ToolDemos]

This one is a high quality USA made wrench. There are alternatives.

[@Wowzersdude-k5c]

Buy the Harbor Freight 1/2" torque wrench for $20. I own it and have seen others on KZbin test it and it is very accurate. It's perfect for a DIY'er.

[@Johnny-ip4mk]

@@Wowzersdude-k5c $20?! 😳

[@Wowzersdude-k5c]

@@Johnny-ip4mk Yep, it works and will be fine for a DIY'er. All these wrenches need to be calibrated once a year or so, but this wrench is so cheap, it would be cheaper to buy a new one every year.
