Q & A

What is the main purpose of the video?

The main purpose is to provide tips on how to prevent getting stranded with a flat tire in a remote area, while also demonstrating a portable car hoist product.

What causes wheels to get stuck on vehicles?

Corrosion between the steel wheel hub and aluminum alloy wheels is a major cause. Long service intervals also allow more corrosion over time.

How can you test if a wheel stud has been over-torqued?

Manually run the lug nuts all the way up and down the studs with the wheels off. If a stud has been over-torqued, a nut will not run smoothly all the way up the threads.

What safety precautions should be taken when using a portable hoist?

Approach the vehicle slowly to avoid momentum crashing the hoist into the car. Carefully position lifting pads under manufacturer lift points. Test lift stability before raising fully.

What is the proper lug nut tightening sequence?

Tighten in a star or cross pattern, going around at least twice, to prevent warping brake rotors. For 5 lugs: 1, 3, 5, 2, 4. For 6 lugs: 1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6.

Why lubricate wheel studs when reinstalling wheels?

A small amount of lubrication allows reduced torque application by around 30% while still ensuring proper wheel clamping force.

What should you check when a car is lifted on a hoist?

Inspect for leaks, damage, worn parts, etc. Catching problems early before failure is critical for safety.

How can you convert kilogram-meters to newton-meters for torque specs?

Multiply the kg-m value by 9.81. For simplicity, approximating by multiplying by 10 is typically sufficient.

What is the main benefit of a portable hoist over floor jacks and stands?

Much faster and convenient for jobs requiring wheel removal or undercarriage access. No crawling around on floor.

What practical uses does the hoist have beyond lifting vehicles?

Could assist with trailer/equipment repair, use as a height adjustable welding table, increase shop productivity when hoist space is limited.

😀 Intro About Car Breakdowns & Mobile Hoist Demo

The intro paragraph introduces the video as a PSA about getting stranded with a car breakdown, and a product demo of a portable car hoist which will help show how to prevent getting stranded. The host is a car expert from a deals website.

05:01

😖 Factory Car Jacks are Flimsy, Wheels Get Stuck

Paragraph 2 explains that factory car jacks are flimsy and unstable. This makes it unsafe to get under the car if using the jack to change a tire. Also, alloy wheels can get stuck to brake discs due to corrosion over time from road use and moisture, which the host says happens frequently.

10:02

🛠 Assembling the Portable Car Hoist

Paragraph 3 details the process of assembling the portable car hoist product being demonstrated. The host assembled it solo over 1 day, using tools like socket sets and a hydraulic crane. He highlights the need for an 14mm hex socket to tighten certain bolts, which many toolsets may lack.

15:04

⚠️ Safety Tips for Operating the Hoist

Paragraph 4 covers key safety advice when first using the hoist, like approaching the car slowly due to the hoist's heavyweight and momentum. The host also advises gently lifting the car a few inches first to check stability before going higher.

20:06

😀 Lubricating Wheel Nuts for Smooth Operation

Paragraph 5 shares the host's method of lubricating wheel nuts with anti-seize grease when removing wheels, to prevent them getting stuck from corrosion. He argues this is safe engineering practice, despite some owner's manuals advising not to lubricate wheel nuts.

25:06

🔧 Step-by-Step Wheel Removal Process

Paragraph 6 provides a detailed walkthrough of the wheel removal process using the hoist, including loosening nuts, removing wheels, cleaning hub and wheel mating surfaces, and proper tightening technique to avoid warping brake discs.

Keywords

💡Wheel stuck on car

This refers to when the wheel rim gets corroded and stuck onto the axle hub, making it very difficult to remove the wheel. This happens especially with alloy wheels, and is a common problem that the video aims to address. The narrator explains causes for it, like long service intervals leading to corrosion, and shows how to prevent and fix it.

💡Factory car jack

The basic car jack that comes with most cars from the manufacturer. The narrator points out that these are often low quality and unstable, making them unsafe to use for things like freeing a stuck wheel.

💡Torque wrench

A tool used to tighten wheel nuts and bolts to a precise torque specification. Proper tightening with a torque wrench prevents parts from loosening over time. The narrator explains the importance of using one correctly when reinstalling wheels.

💡Hoist

The main specialty automotive tool featured in the video - a portable lifting device that safely raises vehicles for access underneath. The narrator highlights benefits of using a hoist for jobs like freeing stuck wheels.

💡WD40

A penetrating lubricant spray that can help free stuck parts. The narrator uses it with a scouring pad to clean corrosion off the wheel and axle hub to fix a stuck rim.

💡Anti seize

A high temperature grease compound applied to threads and sliding surfaces to prevent seizure, galling, and corrosion. The narrator advocates using a thin coat on wheel mounting studs and hubs.

💡Axle flange

The mounting hub at the end of a drive axle that the wheel bolts onto. Corrosion between this and the wheel rim is what causes them to stick together.

💡Torque sequence

Tightening wheel nuts/bolts in a crossing star pattern sequence to evenly load the wheel. The narrator stresses doing this to prevent warping brake rotors when reinstalling wheels.

💡Stud stretch

Small amounts of permanent elongation that occur in fasteners like wheel studs when torqued. This is normal but too much overtightening can overstretch studs.

💡Disc thickness variation

Uneven wear and thickness between sections of a brake rotor. Caused by improper wheel installation. Following the proper torque sequence prevents it.

AJC Link in the description and thanks

to Nord for sponsoring the channel and

for helping to make more content like

this possible okay so you're in this

situation the wheel is stuck on the car

in the boonies the banjos are closing in

it's a deleted scene from Deliverance

2.0 this would be a comparatively easy

fixed up on a hoist in a tire shop just

get a block of wood and a hammer hit the

inside of the rim and the job is done

they do this all the time it's not so

easy in the shadow of red bush Mountain

though is it you're usually not carrying

the right hammer and probably don't have

a block of water either although you

could certainly improvise that but the

car is not going to be that stable

because the factory Jack is always built

down to the absolute flimsiest minimum

shitty standard and the environment with

a flat tire it's never going to be

perfect is it you're not going to be on

a bilard table right it's definitely not

safe to get under the car when it is

jacked up like that is my point and even

if you pull to hard on the rim from the

outside or kick it or hit it whatever

the car could easily come off the

world's most crap Jack this problem is

even more common today than previously a

because there are just more alloy wheels

out there on the road today and of

course aluminium and steel react

corrosively like

galvanically and B 12 month service

intervals while they are Grand they also

mean that it might be a year or

something since the wheels last came off

your car and that is a hell of a long

time for an alloy wheel and a steel

flange to get wet and hot together so to

speak so it's preemptive action time

dude and a good opportunity for me to

showcase the new toy this is a single

post 2 and 1/2 ton service hoist from

hero hoists in Sydney it is completely

portable in the context that you can

roll it around basically anywhere on a

flat surface here hoist also does two

posters and four posters even tandem

four posters even four posters that you

can roll around on giant casters and

four posters are of course fantastic if

you've got sufficient Headroom in your

shop you can park double the number of

cars right you get a daily driver below

with a race car or a project car

upstairs and you haven't had to build

any extra accommodation so that's kind

of nice they also do scissor lifts and

all kinds of cool stuff like that heroh

hoists doom. this single poster is quite

novel to me however it's kind of like if

a pallet jack and the Terminator had a

baby it'll lift from about 100 above the

deck to 7060 so it is the full walk

underneath hoist deal it's Candle leave

certainly but today I'm only going about

sternum height because that's just the

best working height for this particular

job and you can roll this hoist around

anywhere right with pallet jack like

Mobility I'll put links in the

description it's hero hoists all one

word.com auu these things are deployed

all around the world too you see them in

America and Europe they're very safe and

they carry Australian German TUV and

Euro

certification and don't worry dude

you're not getting your life on the

Integrity of some 25 cent nital rubber

O-ring like all other

hoist there's an automatic mechanical

Locking System kind of like a ratchet if

there's a hydraulic failure you don't

end up squashed in other words because

that's not much fun this is why they've

got three control buttons right green

for up pretty obviously blue for down

and black for please lower me onto the

closest safety stuff so when you hit

blue an electromagnet pulls the safety

stops out of the way allowing you to

lower the Hoist and this means it's fail

safed right if anything fails the stops

are already in place so you don't get

squashed if an O-ring fails you don't

get squashed if a hose bursts you don't

get squashed if the power fails you

don't get

squashed I guess if there's earthquake

or a nuclear strike you probably do get

squashed but at least you won't be alone

when a hoist such as this arrives at

your fat cave it is knocked down and

flat packed in a steel frame they crane

it off the truck so it's a proper men's

meano assembly exercise all the critical

components like the main column with the

ram they come pre-assembled your mission

therefore is to join the sub assemblies

together

these have been designed so that it's

actually very hard to get wrong you'd

have to be a proper idiot like a

politician or the CEO of a major Lobby

group to be quite that mechanically

inept however there are some pretty

hefty bits obviously the true blue Stan

way to do this would be to invite the

chaps over for a barbecue and eat I

don't know a dead cow and get about 20

long necks on board each stand around

grunting in your stubbies and thongs

until someone loses a toe again now

because as a courtesy I would never

actually be mates with anybody who would

agree to have me as a mate #

grouo I elected to fly solo on this

whole big boys assembly exercise and

this was I have to admit kind of fun as

well as a challenge

I did however reserve the dead cow and

refreshments until after the project was

complete I'm just absolutely no fun like

that it took me about a day to get the

whole thing together and I really relied

heavily pun intended on my trusty what

Curtis from Cutting Edge engineering Str

would call duelers crane to a unbox and

move the heavy bits around and B hold

them in position while fixing them in

place actually it's all very well

thought out manufacturing quality pretty

slick no complaints there it's got nice

welding laser cut you get excellent

alignment of the parts and you don't

need any special tools if you've got a

metric halfin Drive Socket Set standard

wrenches screwdrivers Allen Keys pliers

kind of thing you're more or less good

to get cracking there's just one thing

right there's about 24 M16 by two high

tensile socket head cap screws that hold

the column to the base and also join the

lifting cradle to the runner inside the

column and these need a 14 mm Allen key

so I used a halfin drive 14 mm male hex

driver for a socket set and a lot of

people would not have one of those in

their kit most Allen key sets for

example run out at 10 mm some go to 12

very few include 14 they are pretty easy

to Source however there did not seem to

be a torque spec for those Fasteners in

the manual either but I used ajax's

recommendation for M16 class 8.8 High

tensile Fasteners which is 190 newm

however I lubricated them on assembly so

I fudged that down by 30% is to 130 new

M which is the G Al accepted engineering

torque reduction fudge factor for

lubricated High tensile joint assembly

and ultimately the Hoist has not

collapsed underload so I suppose that's

Vindication of A Sort you need to add

your own hydraulic oil on assembly too

at bleeding that system is dead easy

although if you haven't done it before

that might seem a bit confronting all

you really do though is you just raise

it and lower it a couple of times and

essentially it does it itself I also

added a bit of black conduit to keep the

wiring to the limit switches Etc just a

bit

tidier you're also going to need an

electrician to wire in the flex to the

control panel and you will need a 15 amp

singlephase GOP on the wall to plug it

into and that probably means running a

separate circuit to that switch but you

can also use that outlet for a serious

compress

or a welder just not all three at the

same time hero hoists is run by a dude

named Rowan steel he's a good bloke

knows the product and he's extremely

helpful now I would argue that not

everyone who might use a hoist should

trust themselves to put one together and

luckily Rowan offers an assembly and

installation service across the whole

range of his products so if that's all

somewhat confronting to you the DIY bit

is optional and there is certainly an

alternative to DIY this you are going to

have to be comfortable with lifting the

heavy bits and not dropping them

preferably also not crushing yourself

you'll have to put the parts together so

that they don't fall apart in use

importantly this involves basic fitting

plus assembling things like hydraulic

fittings and wiring in limit switches

Etc all reliably into the correct

numbered terminals inside the master

control panel like I said it took me

about a day all up but I did measure

twice and only cut once right if I had

to do a second one I suppose it would

all be over before lunchtime because the

first one of anything is always such a

voyage into the unknown right so once

yours is operational a couple of things

you really should bear in mind when you

push one of these big things towards

your car for the very first time

remember that it weighs

775 kilos it actually rolls very easily

but it has considerable momentum so

approach the car slowly would be my

advice the better to stop the Hoist in

time before it crashes into your car and

then take your time getting the lifting

pads in place this is especially

important on unibody cars to get the

center of the rubber pads in line with

the lifting points on the car which is

usually that dimpled section of the

pinch panel under the seill whenever I

put a car on a hoist any hoist anywhere

anytime I raise it up about 3 in in the

air and then I give it a good shove size

side to side because you know if I'm

going to be dropping it I want it to

fall 3 in onto the floor and not 6 feet

onto a person I'm kind of funny like

that then if it seems solid at an

altitude of 3 in I guess we're ready to

fly the single poster comes with

operating buttons on the column plus a

wired in remote control which allows you

to walk around and double check the

clearances Etc

as you lift which is a pretty handy

feature the Hoist comes with standard

screw up lifting pads plus two sets of

additional risers for those pads the

risers give you clearance between the

under body of the car and the main

transverse candle lifting arm of the

Hoist you need to make sure that you are

not going to crush your exhaust or bend

the tail shaft or underbody this or that

kind of thing the risers are good for

establishing that required clearance and

there is quite a bit of finessing of the

Poss of the Hoist relative to the car

and also the swing out and extendable

arms before they are in the Goldilocks

lifting Zone and I guess this is the

price you pay for all of that

portability also if you are using this

in your home garage a make sure the

concrete floor is up to withstanding the

bearing stress and by that I'm

particularly referring to that new

waffle pod concrete floor construction

where the floor is really just sort of a

thin veneer of concrete sitting on these

styrofoam pads and B don't crash the

roof of the car into this ceiling of the

garage by lifting somewhat over

enthusiastically on one of the first

outings personally I really like putting

cars on hoists and using lathes and

Mills and chainsaws and well building

because these things are proper murder

machines they actively want to kill you

I suppose at their most benign they are

entirely indifferent to killing you so

you have to be accountable dude you have

to stop them from doing that it's not

that hard but hey just don't get it

wrong even once you have to be a proper

grownup about jobs such as this mind on

the job put the phone down stop thinking

about boobies however

[Music]

momentarily here I'm just lifting the

Santa Fe about halfway through the range

of capacity for this hoist I'm using a

Ryobi battery rattle gun to loosen the

wheel nuts it's a 21 mm deep impact

socket for this car that's pretty common

the studs are m12x

1.5 which is a metric fine pitch so the

wheels all come off and one was a bit

stuck incidentally then I just used WD40

and a scotchbrite pad to buff the boss

on the axle flange and the corresponding

bore in the wheel thus saying goodbye to

any latent corrosion one of the best

things about WD is it's an excellent

solvent and cutting lubric

for this kind of job I just dry that off

with a rag and then I smear the boss

with a thin layer of antise operative

word thin layer this is the penrite

copper stuff but there's really nothing

that special about antise it's just

glorified high temperature grease it

stops binding and it slows down

corrosion I'm also smearing a bit of

anti-seize on the wheel studs and I can

hear it now in the comments dude the

outrage till someone who cares okay that

would not be me but if you really wish

to unburden yourself in the comments I'm

pleased to facilitate and I hope it

helps meanwhile in reality let me put

this to you in the context of a random

engineer talking to a random

there's nothing special about

wheel nuts and studs dude it's just

another simple High tensile bolted joint

standard engineering practice is to back

the torque spec off by about 30% if you

go from quote unquote dry which really

means lightly oiled X Factory to heavily

greased so if you go from Factory to

heavily greased knock it back about 30%

you'll be right the torque is actually a

proxy for stretch in the stud which

delivers clamping Force to the Joint

which is kind of critical most of the

torque actually gets lost to friction

during during assembly and it's such a

highly variable process the wheel studs

are therefore very robust and the loads

that they are subjected to are extremely

conservative in the context of their

point of failure if the owner's manual

says do not lubricate and complying

strictly makes you feel better knock

yourself out dude that's allowed

hilariously though in this case he's

owner's manual gives the freaking torque

spec in kilogram meters I.E kilog force

times meters and every torque wrench I

have ever owned and odds on every torque

wrench that you will ever get your

grubby mitson is calibrated in newton

meters in the metric World in homage to

the author of La principia

Mathematica and if you are confronted by

this situation where you see something

in kilogram meters and go what do I do

simple just multiply the number by 10 or

9.8 or even 9.81 but hey 10's going to

be fine we're not on the mission to Mars

here are we so the range in the manual

is 11 to 13 kg M which equals roughly

110 to 130 Newton M so the way I look at

this if 130 is okay lightly oiled

xfactory

I'm going with 110 with a thin smear of

anti- seiz on board I'm also running the

nuts all the way up the studs and back

with the wheels off by hand that's a

test to see if some wood duck with a

rattle gun in the service department or

in a tire shop has managed to overcrank

a stud if a stud gets overcranked it

yields meaning it stretches permanently

but probably by only couple of hundred

microns or so

human hairs about 100 microns so a

couple of human hairs worth of stretch

so you're never going to see it but it

is going to be enough to stop the nut

from running smoothly all the way up the

thread this is an extremely useful

ghetto engineering test for the health

of any Threaded Fasteners that you hope

to put back into service the torque spec

is designed to deliver indefinite

longevity for the Fasteners and

essentially unlimited disassembly and

reassembly capability and thankfully all

of these passed my little ghetto

engineering test but if you do this and

any fail they're going to need

replacing when you put the wheels back

on just get a picture in your head of

the stud orientation up there on the car

and index the wheel around to that

before you lift don't lift the wheel and

then figure out how you need to spin it

to get it on cuz that's just too hard

right especially if you're doing it all

day I always use a standard socket on an

extension kind of like a screwdriver I

guess certainly as a nut driver to get

the nuts started you should never start

them off for reassembly using a rattle

gun because before too long you're going

to cross thread one and then it's going

to be a throwaway which is just a total

pain in the ass I do use the battery

rattle gun set on one the light is

setting just to get all the nuts

basically seated but I'm going to torque

them all down using a torque wrench when

the car goes back on the ground and when

you do that you got to do it in a star

pattern if you number the studs around

in a circle consecutively the tightening

sequence for five studs is going to be 1

35 2 4 or I suppose 1 4 2 53 depending

on which way you go around and for six

studs it's going to going to be

14253 6 or

1463

52 that's important because it prevents

the brake discs from warping during that

assembly which can lead to them wearing

unevenly it's called disc thickness

variation which you don't want to cause

and I always go around twice in that

star pattern with the torque wrench the

second goal round is just to confirm

that I didn't Overlook any of the first

time because you know thinking about

boobies always such a risk while the car

was on the Hoist before talking the nuts

and I know we are zipping backwards and

forwards in time here but anyway I

raised it all the way up to do just a

quick visual health check that's always

kind of nice anytime you're under the

car on the floor of the garage with Jack

Stands whatever you should do this and

I'm really just looking for anything

that doesn't look right like oil leaks

or stains from leaky fluids that have

dried away subsequently any mechanical

damage missing fers perished hoses stuff

like that anything that doesn't look

right you should identify that because

picking it up early is always better

than just having some freaking

catastrophic failure out there on the

road I use these neat additional support

Jacks at cruising altitude right and

they just give you two additional ground

contact points and they take some of the

elastic torsional Flex out of the column

they're rated at 750 kilos a piece so

quite robust and you certainly don't

need them just to walk under the car but

if you were going to lean on anything

real hard with like a 2T break a bar or

a pry bar or something they're

definitely worth taking the time to put

in place all up I'm very pleased with

the single poster it's extremely

versatile and if I move fat caves it's

going to be dead easy to winch up onto a

trailer and take with me ditto I suppose

if you need a hoist at a racetrack and

also back in the garage it's also pretty

good I guess if you've got a busy

mechanical workshop and hoist time is at

a premium this would be an easy extra

hoist to put on the box to use for

rotating tires Wheels whatever bleeding

the brakes changing the brakes changing

dampers bushes whatever any of that

stuff that needs access to the wheels

this hoist is really good at that and

you could use it out in the car park

kind of thing out on an apron whatever

as long as there's no slope let's not be

Defying Gravity to that extent it could

certainly increase flexibility and

productivity in workshops where that

hoist time is really compromised at home

you can use it on trailers and quads and

ride on mowers and things like that

there's an option ATV lifting kit if you

want to do a lot of that stuff pretty

good in a farm situation too I'd suggest

it wouldn't actually make a bad welding

bench in the shed now that I think about

it you could just stick in a sheet of 12

mm plate we could stick the Hoist under

a sheet of 12 mm plate and there's a

basic height adjustable fabrication

bench for some heavy work pretty simple

solution actually and then you just put

it on the ground on a couple of bits of

wood when you need to take it out and

use it as a hoist anyway the single

poster comes with a lifetime structural

warranty and a three-year power pack

warranty and it takes up very little

space in practice because you can just

park on top of it there are ramps to

drive over the near side bit of the base

included in the standard package having

used it several times now I can tell you

that this hoist grossly improves

convenience for any lifting operation

where previously you would have had to

roll out the trolley Jack and four jack

stands and get all four wheels up into

the air

contemporaneously it's slashes the time

it takes for common jobs such as the one

you've just seen here but if I'm

completely honest essentially I always

just wanted a hoist I don't actually

need one and I suppose that's how a

hottie feels when she procures a Dior

handbag

and yeah I knew it would be only minutes

before sitting before you proudly

thinking about boobies once again in a

somewhat safe environment it's like

clockwork dude and I suppose that's a

good test too a ghetto engineering hack

to tell that you're not dead yet

yes heroh ho.com Au for more of course

I'll put a link in the description
