2" lift. Dumb question number 2
« on: September 01, 2005, 19:54:01 »
Now I have given my bottle jack away how am I going to change a rear wheel if I have a puncture :?:  :oops:

Karen thinks the wheels look too small now ..... looks like some new tires for me :twisted:

It was my 75 year old father in law who wanted something to hold his Sunbeam up with whilst he changed wheels and other wise messed around.

Still, I'll rob it back when I am up there next :twisted:

Hmm - don't think a sunbeam will get up too many lanes near me :lol:

I agree about the wheel size - get some nice 35" Simex's on there - go anywhere  :shock: Other than that - nice job  \:D/

Some places sell a check-strap so that you can limit the suspension travel in order to change a wheel.

The best idea is a bottle / trolley jack...  hi-lifts are lethal.  ;-)
