TBF, I was fairly confident one girl wanted to hook up before she called me to help her with her tire, but she had a boyfriend. I showed up, started changing her tire, and after struggling for a bit with a difficult lugnut, I asked her where her boyfriend was. She said he was at home, but she would never call him for something like this and giggled. |

Mine made me take off/put back on all 4 tires and change my own oil before he ever gave me keys. He also would do things like purposefully leave the lights on the lawn mower to drain the battery out and then make me jump start it the next day when I had to mow, steal the fuses controlling the car radio and power windows on my car so I had to replace them, unscrewed my room's doorknobs a few times so I had to put them back on, siphoned all the gas out of the car when he noticed I was running it on E so I'd learn not to do it again, cut the circuit breaker and turned the water off before he and mom would leave so I knew how to turn it back on and other "tricks" to get me to learn to do stuff on my own. At the time I found them annoying but looking back it was 180 and I realize just how many "men" can't do basic shit. I have a few friends whose wives tell them to call me when basic stuff needs fixed and I just laugh. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3941207&forum_id=2#35779401) |

My high school girlfriend took a dump one time after he did it and came out and was just like we need to leave immediately. I was like WTF OK -- didn't come back until several hours later and then discovered her shame. Here she thought she had clogged the toilet and was too scared to tell me when it wouldn't flush right.

Date: April 6th, 2018 2:48 PM Author: wine background story fortuitous meteor Any car manual has a pretty good guide and it will show you exactly where you should put the jack, which is really the only part that can pwn you if you fuck it up (that and not tightening the lug nuts I guess). Better to fuck around and learn now than on the side of a highway in a storm with kids in the car. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3941207&forum_id=2#35779448) |

Date: April 6th, 2018 2:56 PM Author: adventurous water buffalo All true, but the chances of him seriously fucking something up if he attempts to learn this shit entirely on his own are relatively high, whether it be cross-threading a lugnut, not sufficiently tightening a lug nut and the wheel falls off, or dumping the car off the jack, possibly onto himself.

You have been struggling with changing a tire for the last 45 minutes. You are stressed out, tired, and your hands are sore. Failure to appreciate why this situation creates a risk of fucking up, especially when the situation calls for a high level of exertion, is precisely why there is a relatively high probability that people with no experience working on cars will fuck up.
Just to clarify, when I say a relatively high risk of fucking up, I don't mean it is likely you will fuck up, but given the potential consequences of fucking up when doing this type of work on your car, a very low probability of a fuck up in an absolute sense still represents a situation that is best avoided.
Then we get into the risks of doing this for the first time on the side of the road. That is a perfect recipe for someone absent mindedly stepping out in front of traffic driving by. |

Of course he is capable to changing his tire without experiencing any problems. The chance of him seriously fucking something up, while low, is not something he should take lightly given the possible consequences of a fuck up. |

Date: April 6th, 2018 3:54 PM Author: Obsidian territorial gaming laptop ladyboy yes, I do. never heard of someone seriously injured changing a tire. and I know tens of thousands of people to 2 degrees of separation who have changed a tire.
but no doubt you can enlighten me on these statistics and probabilities. |
|
Date: April 6th, 2018 3:58 PM Author: adventurous water buffalo Injury is just one of the risks. The primary risk is fucking up his car, such as dumping it off the jack, losing a wheel while driving, or cross-threading a lugnut.

put the jack under the car (make sure it is against solid metal), pump it up, then use the wrench to remove the lugnuts, put the spare in its place, and secure it by re-inserting and tightening the lugnuts. |

Good luck getting the lug nuts loose with the car jacked up. Loosen slightly first, then jack. I went apeshit on a tech for installing my lug nuts with an impact gun. I am super OCD about lugnuts. I even have the stuff to do centerlock wheels and somewhere there is a brass hammer to do true knock offs. |

Date: April 6th, 2018 3:49 PM Author: laughsome domesticated corner boiling water fair point. i skipped that step in my haste to show how simple it is.
and i cannot stand when car places tighten the lugnuts to an incredible degree. i've spent several saturdays of my life working my ass off to remove over-tightened lugnuts. |

Date: April 6th, 2018 3:13 PM Author: adventurous water buffalo You also have a decent chance of dumping the car off of the SPS jack included with most cars when loosening the lugnuts while the car is jacked up, that is if you figure out how to keep the wheel from spinning.
