Winter summer wheel switch

What!?

Serious! May be because the jack just has a lose bar to turn rather than any sensible kind of handle.

Hmm, I never torque my wheel nuts to spec. when you get tyres fitted they always just use an impact gun anyway so I just don't really bother. I am lazy though...

Most jacks are like that though aren't they, so they fold up small. Just get a hydraulic trolley jack, it will makes things a lot easier and quicker in the future and they are not expensive.

I was glad to have used the torque wrench but all it really told me is that leaning into the bar when tightening will get the torque about right.

Edit. OK - I was being thick. The loose bar I mentioned above is supposed to combine with the wheel nut wrench to form a jack handle. I can see how that might have been a little faster. Just RTFM...

like everyone said in the thread?

I'd still rather know from experience rather then just taking people's word for it.

It will honestly be worth investing in a decent jack if you are going to be swapping wheels once a year and making oil changes a breeze etc.

It'll be twice a year.

However I'm gong to take a look at how my scissor jack performs with a correctly assembled handle first!

The scissor is fine on one corner but to do all for it will be two or three times quicker with a trolley. But yeah as you say see how it goes with your current jack.
