Jack Up a Vechicle to Fix a Flat Tire

Our next step is to actually jack the vehicle up. What I have here in my hand is the actual stock jack that is in the vehicle. You can use this. It is simple to use in those situations where if you have a blow out you can use it on the side of the road but since we are here at the garage we can use a floor jack which is a lot quicker to use. Now what you need to do is find the correct jacking point on the car. Most cars have a point that is marked on the car to insure that you have the proper area that you are jacking the vehicle up at and what you do is you find the right spot to put the jack at and make sure that you have your cylinder locked in and you get it situated to where you can jack the vehicle without having it cave in at an odd spot so you just basically jack the vehicle up until your tire clears the ground and there you have it. If you are going to have the car jacked up for an extended period of time you should use jack stands to insure that it does not fall over and that concludes jacking the vehicle.
