Ok To Use Floor Jack To Change Tire

I have a chock too.

Ok to use floor jack to change tire. I need to jack up my car to take out the front driver side tire and change the p s and alternator belt. Use the jack only to get a vehicle off the ground never to hold. It s a scissor style jack which works well with a jack adaptor if you need to change your car s tire. The pro lift t 9456 grey scissor jack is also easy to use when you re working on brakes.

The user friendly feature and the stability it provides makes it one of the best tire jacks on the market now. Before you jack up your vehicle observe the following safety precautions. Jack stands are important tools that keep a vehicle propped up after having used a floor jack like a scissor jack or a hydraulic jack to lift a vehicle once the vehicle is lifted enough to fit the jack stands on a solid part of the car underneath it like the chassis they can be carefully fitted and tested by hand for sturdiness at which point the jack can be removed. I was wondering could i just use the scissor jack instead of the floor jack to raise the car up and lower it on the jack stand.

A car needs to be raised to remove a flat tire. The most obvious reason to jack up a car is to change a tire but other jobs such as inspecting brakes may also require you to get under the vehicle. I don t own a floor jack but i do have a scissor jack.
