There are many tools for removing tires, and some vehicles have specialized dedicated tools. However, the most commonly used tools in the automotive repair industry are impact wrenches with corresponding sockets, and manually, the tire cross wrench. Tools required for changing car tires: Small jack, socket for loosening lug nuts, security lug nut removal head, nut protector cap removal head, and a triangular warning sign. Precautions for removing tires: To ensure safety, the vehicle needing a tire change must be parked on the roadside or emergency lane, ensuring the ground is flat; turn off the engine, engage the handbrake, and turn on hazard lights, placing a triangular warning sign behind the car (about 100 meters on highways).

What size is a 10R22.5 tire?

10 represents the tire section width of 10 inches (width), 22.5 represents the rim diameter of 22.5 inches, and the letter R in the middle stands for radial tire. Regularly clean the stones in the tire grooves, avoid exposing the tires to direct sunlight, and frequently check the tire pressure. You can refer to the normal tire pressure values listed on the inner side of the car's fuel tank cap and adjust accordingly based on these values. Car tire lifespan: The lifespan of car tires is generally 3-5 years or 50,000-80,000 kilometers. The main material of car tires is rubber, which can age to some extent when exposed to sunlight for extended periods. Long-term outdoor parking can accelerate tire aging, reducing tire strength. Such tires typically last more than three years. Functions of car tires: Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, transmit traction and braking torque, ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, mitigate and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving, prevent severe vibrations and premature damage to car components, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance while reducing driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

What does TD mean in cars?

TD in cars stands for turbocharging. To address the inherent shortcomings of SDI, a turbocharging device is installed on diesel engines, significantly increasing the intake pressure. The compression ratio generally exceeds 10, allowing for high torque even at low RPMs. Moreover, due to more complete combustion, the content of harmful particles in emissions is also reduced. The TDI-equipped direct-injection turbocharged diesel engine technology is highly advanced and incorporates multiple cutting-edge technologies, such as the pump-jet system and adjustable vane turbochargers, which are applied in passenger cars. TDI utilizes high-pressure fuel injection technology with a pump-jet system. This system ensures better mixing of diesel and air, leading to more thorough combustion.

What is a High-Level Class I Vehicle?

Vehicle type High-Level Class I refers to an operational vehicle that is a large high-level class I passenger bus. Operational vehicles with a body length greater than 9 meters and less than or equal to 12 meters are classified as large passenger buses. Large passenger buses are further subdivided (from high to low) into High-Level Class III, High-Level Class II, High-Level Class I, Intermediate, and Standard based on different configurations. Compared to other high-level passenger buses, High-Level Class I large and medium-sized buses have identical service facility requirements except for the installation of a restroom. For example, the installation positions of the engine and luggage compartment, the form and structure of the doors, the width of the aisle, the size and performance of the seats, and the requirements for interior trim and air conditioning and control are almost the same. The front and rear suspensions of High-Level Class I large passenger buses must at least consist of a combination of independent front suspension and rear fewer-leaf springs (<4 leaves), or a combination of all air suspension or air suspension with leaf springs. The power-to-weight ratio must be >13.5 kW/t to ensure the dynamic performance, safety, and comfort of High-Level Class I highway operational passenger buses.

What are the new vehicle inspection regulations within 10 years?

The new vehicle inspection regulations within 10 years stipulate that non-operational vehicles only need to undergo three on-site annual inspections within ten years, specifically after six years, eight years, and ten years of use. The annual inspection includes checking the vehicle's appearance, adjusting lights, inspecting tires, verifying whether the exhaust emissions comply with regulations, checking the vehicle license plate and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), warning signs, whether compulsory traffic insurance has been purchased and whether purchase tax has been paid, and testing the performance of the handbrake and foot brake. Vehicle inspection regulations: Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 5 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 10 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years, once a year after exceeding 6 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. Consequences of failing to attend the annual inspection on time: Vehicles that do not undergo the annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road. If driven, the driver will be penalized with 3 demerit points and a fine. If an accident occurs involving a vehicle that has not undergone the annual inspection, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not compensate.

What are the steps for replacing the rear wheel bearing on a Sunny?

Here are the steps for replacing the rear wheel bearing on a Sunny: 1. Park the car on a flat surface and release the parking brake. Secure the other three wheels with bricks or stones placed in front and behind them. Use a jack to lift the vehicle. 2. Remove the tire, brake pads, and caliper. Secure the caliper to the shock absorber strut with wire. Remove the caliper bracket. When removing the caliper, if the hydraulic piston is pressing the brake pads tightly, use a hammer handle or screwdriver to push the hydraulic piston back (the repair manual suggests using a C-clamp). 3. Use a T25 tool to remove the brake disc retaining screws and then remove the brake disc. 4. Use a 34mm deep socket to remove the wheel axle retaining nut. (It is essential to use a 34mm deep socket or a heavy-duty socket, as standard wrenches or spanners won’t work.) 5. Disconnect the ABS plug. 6. Remove the wheel bearing by loosening the three 13mm retaining bolts. 7. Place a wooden block against the wheel axle and gently tap the block to remove the wheel bearing. (The manual recommends using a three-jaw puller, but a simpler method is to gently tap with a wooden block. Avoid excessive force, as it may misalign the strut and affect wheel alignment.)

What Are the Causes of Car Transmission Failure?

Car transmission failure causes: 1. Occasional or persistent faults in the automatic transmission's electronic components; 2. Mechanical failures in automatic transmission models, such as engine idling, transmission slipping, clutch burnout, or failure to move despite adding fuel; 3. Excessive transmission oil temperature, caused by overfilling transmission oil, internal or external blockage of the transmission cooler, or high-temperature protection due to the transmission's torque converter slipping. Car transmission failure can trigger the transmission warning light. If the transmission warning light is on, check for automatic transmission oil leaks and whether the automatic transmission is overheating. It is recommended that the owner drive slowly to the nearest repair shop for inspection.
