Tranquility,
Other than trying to avoid any injuries, don't over-think this; it just isn't that complicated to jack up your car, remove the nuts (with or w/o a power wrench) and replace your summer tires. Yes, it's possible to over-torque the nuts, but if you're careful, you'll be totally fine. Should take you less than 20 minutes. Dave

I just came back from Can Tire and bought this impact wrench and jack; the reviews are wide-ranging, from ok to bad. Not sure if you guys have any comments. I will need some chockers to secure the diagonal wheel but probably won't get any stands.

Tranquility, you're good to go with the impact wrench & the jack and the appropriate sized attachment (either 17mm or 19mm) and just make sure the attachments are made or designed to be used with the impact wrench.
Definitely don't need to put the car up on stands. You'll be fine! Dave Hey Rolf, slow day on the M3 forum!?....

Seriously, Rolf, you're done, that's fine; again, I'm not forcing you to squeeze more knowledge out if you don't want to partake in this thread any further. Thx for your past good advice. Really. However, I'm perplexed by your behavior and just don't see the need for this "You don't seem to listen; I'm done" tone. Esp when I *am* listening and just asking follow-up questions. You for one should appreciated this since you're the one emphasizing the first priority on safety. I don't wanna get squashed by my Z4 just because I've been dissuaded from asking more questions about safety/tools/etc. |
