Why Didn't They Tell Me?

AMAAAZING! Cheers for the shoutout ! I’m glad they worked 😁🙌🏼 my 6yo Daughter(Billie), absolutely lost her mind when I showed her 😄 she was running around the house screaming “We’re famous” 😆😂 us dads have to stick together mate 😄

[@HAXMAN]

That's so awesome! 😄 Thanks so much again for the advice! I would have paid to have them remounted and balanced for nothing and still had the vibration. You are indeed THE MAN and clearly an awesome dad. 😎Please tell Billie I said hello. 😃

@@HAXMAN legend 👍🏼 I’m glad you did a video on this too! It’s such a common issue with aftermarket wheels and a lot of tyre/tire & wheel shops either don’t explain that they’ve installed the rings, or that there purpose and how to install. Billie’s still loosing it 😵‍💫😂 even more so now! I’d say you’ve got subscribers for life now 😄

[@HAXMAN]

[@latriciacagle4873]

I think it’s great that you include your daughters in these exercises. When I got my driver’s license 50 years ago, my dad taught me how to safely change tires, check the battery, all fluid levels, and tire pressure, and how to fill the tank with gas (self service gas stations were new and we only had one with that option in our neighborhood) He thought it was important for his daughter to be able to handle basic things. One Friday I went to my car to go to the football game and had a flat tire. I went back in the house and told him I had a flat tire. His response was I better hurry up and change it or I would be late for the game😂😂😂. I did the same thing with my kids when they got their licenses.

[@HAXMAN]

Sounds like a great dad! 😄

[@ambersmith7681]

I love how you and your wife are raising your kids with common sense and teaching them practical things they'll actually need to know in their life....no stupid questions only stupid people got me lol best quote ever love your videos

[@garybonz]

Haxman, don't forget to tell your daughters the whole lugbolt torque tension vs workload scenario. I loved teaching my kids homeschool physics classes. I Also made them each tell me how the engine, transmission and brakes work before they could get their drivers license. Getting their license was quite the motivator.

[@PattersonsJoyfulLights]

Awesome stuff! Seeing you teach your daughters how to change a flat is golden. I remember the time I was teaching my daughter the same and our neighbor came over to help. When he realized it was a training exercise he got emotional and shared a personal story of his own. Thanks for being an inspiration to the KZbin community.

[@dzlfumz20]

I love how you teach your girls this stuff. I too have two daughters and when they turned 16 one of the first things we did was practice changing tires on their new cars. Keep up the great content sir!!👊🏼

[@survivormary1126]

I just put this in my shopping cart bc may need when I switch up the wheels and hubs I just got. You really ought to have something in your title suggesting it's about wheel hub adjustment to stop tire vibration to help, and to reach more people imho. Good on you for teaching your daughter!

[@austinsock]

You are right, the hub rings are only for helping align the wheel. You technically don't need them for alignment, if the person installing the wheels is careful to constantly center the wheel as you are initially tightening the lug bolts. The reason being is the lug bolts are almost always cone or spherical in shape and will center the wheel, if done carefully. Also, I wouldn't worry about replacing the lug bolts yet (I worked at a tire/brake/alignment shop for over 5 years, everything from passenger vehicles to large tractors.) There are several lug bolts on each hub, so even if one cracked or is failing, it's highly unlikely a majority of them are. Just be sure to inspect them when removing the wheels for cracks/stretching/damaged threads/corrosion/etc, but when you do see these signs, it's always a good idea to replace all of them, on at least that hub, since the other ones may be soon to follow.

[@industrialathlete6096]

Impressed that you used also used a torque wrench!

[@hanksnowden5288]

Relaxation. Torque "relaxes" usually the most within a few days. I would re-torque all the bolts especially since using that alignment ring just to ensure all pressure is against the bolts and none goes to the plastic alignment ring causing the problem again.

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Never heard of these rings before. Good to know! Great family teamwork, too. :) Thanks for sharing - David

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks David!

KZbin really is an amazing source of information. Thanks to your channel for opening my eyes to many home reno projects and of course doing in with all the humor!

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks! I’m so glad!

[@slaterolson4068]

May I suggest that you get a long bolt (same thread obviously) or take a lug stud and cut the head off and use one or multiple as alignment studs. This will help so the wheel does fall off then trying to spin the wheel on the hub to align bolt holes!

[@billw7242]

I have this same problem with universal rims on my daughters Jeep. I think this is the fix and don't understand why the tire shop didn't install these when they put the new rims on.

strongly suggest getting a full size spare, and be sure to include it in your tire rotation. It will save your differentials since all the tires will be similar diameter.

[@rustyshackleford8149]

Reminds me to show my kiddos how to do this as well, they aren't that close to driving age but can't hurt

[@HAXMAN]

Yep. Just planting the seeds for now.

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning HAX. Very helpful video since so many folks buy after-market rims to fancy up their rides and don't realize this super important consideration exists. We put winter tires and rims on our cars here each year and a good garage knows to look up the hub centered measurement required for your specific car. I had one shop try to put the wrong rims on last year on my daughter's car. Fortunately I knew better before I bought them. Cheers!

[@HAXMAN]

It’s good that you knew better Gord. My shop didn’t say a word to me. You just assume if someone is in a particular business they know what they are doing. Thank goodness for KZbin. 😄 Thanks!

As always another great vid @Haxman. I dont have kids of my own but have had to show a few kids what lies beneath the “smugglers hold” to be able to get them home. Love it when you are showing the kids the small life lessons that will make their lives easier. Also, had no clue about the HCR’s, I am about to get some new wheels for my car and I will make sure to research them for that upgrade. Thanks for passing it on.

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks! I'm glad my ignorance can be beneficial. 😁

[@red95gts]

I don’t know about Volvo, but many of the other European brands include a wheel installation tool (looks like a long threaded wheel stud) to keep the wheel up against the hub while you start the other 4 wheel bolts. It’s usually in with the tool kit or Jack in the trunk Great job teaching your girls how to do this!

[@HAXMAN]

Yes, I thought aluminum would be better all around but I found out that once the bolts or lug nuts are tight the ring doesn’t matter anymore. Thanks!

[@JamesBrown-cm2qg]

When my daughter was 5 she learned to change a tire, with help. I always keep a 3' piece of top pipe from cyclone fencing in the spare compartment. Slides over the lugwrench handle and gives her enough leverage to loosen, and tighten the lugs herself.

Wonderful videos, great job with the contect and the editing, is so nice. The only issue with plastic hub centering rings is if you ever do any mountain or heavy braking. The heat generated by disc will melt them making a plastic mess to clean up and you'll need to repurchase hub centric rings.

[@regularpit1508]

We had a Ford Suv and the wheel hubs weren't built for the extra strain from a low profile since they don't cushion as wheel on our kind of bad roads. We had them all replaced at 70,000 Miles on the stock rims before going to regular tires. We don't like low profiles since when we did finally get rid of them the ride quality was so much better.

Dad I’d only make 2 suggestions. Since they don’t have the upper body strength, teach them leverage. To loosen the bolts she could have put a foot on the wrench and put her weight on it supporting herself with the hood. Use the jack handle to maneuver the tire back on to the hub. I love you teaching your daughters. Mine has now learned brakes.

Good idea. 👍 You’re way ahead of me then. 😁

[@a.w.thompson4001]

If you’re small, you may have to use both feet on the lug wrench, while being extremely careful not to fall down. A smart commenter below mentioned keeping a 3' piece of top pipe from cyclone fencing to slide over the wrench for leverage.

[@TdrSld]

Speaking as a Auto Tech you need to replace the lug bolts, you can cause stress frackers in the shank of the bolt when you don't have the alignment right with hub-centric rims. It's mostly a safety thing and peace of mind thing, and they're not really that costly so cheap insurance for the safety of the family.

[@HAXMAN]

So if you’ve driven the car without the rings that can cause fractures and then you should replace the bolts? Is that correct?

[@TdrSld]

@@HAXMAN correct, the rim will "wiggle" and "shimmy" as the torquing force was not even on the faces of the rim and hub. This can cause the wheel to hub interface to "move" ever so slightly as the vehicle drives down the road and that put a lot of stress on the bolts. This is were some of the vibration comes from along with the wheel not being centered on the center line of rotation of the hub. The clamping force of the lugs/bolts at the faces of the hubs and rim flange is what carries the weight of the vehicle. This is why its very import to have a flat clean surface when bolting and torquing the wheel back down to the hub.

I have never seen a wheel that doesn’t center up on its own the Lugnuts or the lug bolts are all tapered if you have the right lug bolts or Lugnuts that fit the car and the wheel they should center up by themselves know if you have Lugnuts that don’t fit that wheel for that car then I can see where that will float around but it’s a good video just never heard of or seen any of this and I have done hundreds and hundreds of tire changes
