so this fell off my wife's car so I have
to put it back on but the purpose of
this video is to show you how to
properly Jack a car with a car jack and
right here I have a two-ton car jack and
I'm going to show you what places to put
it in and how to prepare your car for it
so you want to make sure your car is in
a flat area which it is you want to make
sure that when you are jacking the part
of the car up let's say this is the
front passenger side you want to have
the back over across the car the back
driver's side will secure so if you're
stuck out on the road and yet the jack
your car up to with a tire
make sure you put some rocks or
something in there to wedge the tire
even though you are in park you always
want to do a second option to protect
yourself so just make sure the absolute
wheel is protected in with that piece
that fell off that I showed you earlier
it allowed this thing to come down and
scrape the gun to the ground when you
were going about 30 miles or above so
I'm actually going to place this the
jack right here under the car on this
metal part it's right behind the wheel
so it should be sturdy enough and we're
going to go ahead and get the process
started for those of you who haven't
used a jack before when you first buy
one you actually have to put oil in it
to make it operate and then as you put
oil in it and let all the air out you
just go like that to bring it up and to
bring it back down you just loosen this
bolt right here and then tighten it back
up and so you're ready to put it up
again so I have the jack directly below
the spot and one thing to make sure when
you buy a jack or you are looking to use
one make sure that it's going to first
go under the car in second that it's
going to raise above it or raise the
collar up to high enough and mine's a
five I think a five and a half to 13
inches so it'll go up to
from the base of the wheel to the top of
the platform it'll go to 13 inches so
we're just going to Jack it up here so
right now the wheel is only about an
inch to 2 inches off the ground so
that's all I need it to get my screw gun
and hand and head underneath there so
all you have to do to after your let's
say I've done fixing the vehicle take
the handle out and then twist this knob
to the left kind of loosen it and it
will lower the jack slowly thank you for
watching
