Where to Jack Up a Bora for Tire Change?
1 Answers
When changing a tire on a Bora, the jack should be placed under the protruding part of the car's lower skirt. Tire Replacement Method: Park the vehicle in a safe area, ensure the handbrake is engaged, place wheel chocks in front of the front wheels or behind the rear wheels to prevent rolling, turn on the hazard lights, and set up a warning sign. Retrieve the spare tire and tire-changing tools to prepare for the replacement. First, position the jack at the designated slot on the chassis support. Use the wrench to loosen the lug nuts on the wheel rim in a diagonal pattern, but do not remove them completely. If manual strength is insufficient, you can step on the wrench with one foot and use your body weight to help loosen the tightly fastened nuts. Hook the jack with the support bracket and attach the wrench to the end of the bracket for better leverage. Turn the wrench clockwise to raise the tire off the ground with the jack, ensuring there is enough space to fit the properly inflated spare tire. You can place the spare tire under the car as a safety measure in case the vehicle suddenly drops. Ensure the jack is properly clamped to avoid damaging the vehicle. Note that if lifting the car on soft or slippery ground, place a non-slip mat under the jack to prevent sinking or slipping accidents. Replace with the spare tire, ensuring the lug nuts are correctly positioned, and tighten all nuts evenly in a diagonal pattern using the wrench. After tightening the nuts, slowly lower the jack. Tire Replacement Cycle: The replacement interval for tires depends on various factors such as tire brand, quality, driving conditions, and driving style, generally ranging between 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers.
