With the advent of winter, drivers urgently begin to “change shoes” from summer tires to winter tires. Someone uses the services of tire fitting, others prefer to change the wheels on their own. If you “change shoes” on your own in a garage, you will need a simple tool for quick wheel changes.
With the help of a homemade device, you can raise the car without using a jack. For the manufacture of this homemade product you will need a piece of a profile pipe 30x30 mm 145 mm long.
You will also need another piece of a profile of the same size with a length of 170 mm, into which you need to insert a profile pipe 25x25 mm for greater rigidity. Of the other "components" it will be necessary to get two bearings and a metal plate - the "sole", which is slipped under the machine.
The main stages of work
We cut off a piece of the shaft that is suitable for the length, which will act as a lever (a pipe is put on it), as well as two corners of 40x40 mm 12 cm long and a jib cut from a piece of a plate or a steel strip. For bearings, you need to make an axis from a shaft with a diameter of 25 mm.
At the next stage, we weld together all the blanks and adjust the parts to size, since the dimensions were approximate. Ultimately, you must get independent structural elements that are interconnected.
