The damn thing would not go in and was saying to myself is this cause i filled it up with 60psi of air and it's bigger now? Was told that should not matter. I went under the car and tried lifting it up and had no luck so i took out the 2 1/2 ton jack and lifted the car up. Again it still would not go in, i had it lined up dead center and it need to go up another 1/4 but it wouldn't budge. So then i took out the bmw jack lifted the car up then took the original jack i was using and jacked the spare tire up and that wasn't helping out that much either. I do not know what the hell i did but after 1 45min it finally locked in place. I mean what a friggin pain in the rear, this is the stupidest setup I've ever seen. Hell it looks simple but it's really a pain, comes out like butter goes in like a nuclear weapon nice n easy and all the time in the world. Sorry but a simple tire install frustrated the hell out of me and my dad. I took 3 shots of Ocean Vodka while starring at my vehicle trying to come up with a solution. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
