How to Change a Tire with a Hydraulic Lift
Hi! This is John on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this video clip, I will show you how to use an in floor hydraulic jack. When using an in floor jack, the first thing you need to do is pull your car until it hits the floor position guide. The next thing you need to do is position each lift arm onto the lift point of the vehicle. Next you need to raise the lift until the lift arms just touch the vehicle, and you will want to go around and inspect that all the lift points are touching the vehicle. After that you want to raise the vehicle until all the tires are about an inch off the ground and you want to shake the vehicle to make sure that it is secure. Lastly, you can raise the vehicle up the rest of the way.
