Tyre Rotation


iniff

Recommended Posts

Just did a tyre rotation on my 05 sportivo. it took us 2 hours or so to do it...

HOW THE HELL DO YOU JACK UP THESE CARS?!?!?!

we couldnt find any decent points to place car stands so we dangerously tried 2 jacks which didnt work either.

We had to jack up 1 side of the car swap the tyres then do the other side. what an b1tch of a job.

anyone got any tips for next time?

The front is easy but I've found the rear I cannot get the rear off the ground with my hydraulic jack and need to use the scissor jack to get it the rest of the way.

The jacking points for hydraulic jacks are:

On the front - just behind the tow hook

On the rear - just behind the spare tyre well on the metal bit that just sticks down

The side jack points for your scissor jacks and axel stands are on the side rails behind the front wheel and in front of the rear wheel between the 2 notches in the rail.

I rotated the same way you did by jacking up one side, swap wheels then do the other side.
