i just want to know, so i can look at it and see if im doing it right ^^

 

are you really serious?

 

god forbid you ever got a flat. Your jack is in the trunk on the passenger side. Jack points are on the side of the car near all 4 of the rims on the metal bar. I assume if you already had better tools than this you would know how to do it yourself so I won't go explain that.

 

why wouldnt i be

 

1. crack/loosen bolts
2. place jack under jack point
3. jack jack jack (the car) untill wheel is off the ground and you have enough room to put your rim on.
4. remove the bolts take of wheel/ put other wheel on
5. put bolts back on, make they snug so wheel is flush
6. lower jack
7. tighten in a star pattern

repeat 3 more times

 

can u put jack up the front like by the engine so u can change the 2 front rims?

 

so everything i need should be in the car?

 

dont put the stock jack anywhere but the stock jack point and absolutely dont crawl under the car with the stock jack

 

no no no no no and no again

 

okay, but is there any real how to's with any pics?

 

i think i might be able to do it ^^

 

use the directions in the owners manual to put on the spare trie and use that to put your rims on

 

OMG...read your service manual. Are you putting new wheels on, or are you rotating left to right? If you are putting new wheels on, try doing it one at a time.

 

putting new ones in

 

and i want to paint my calipers while im at it

 

then you jack the car up, take off the old wheel, and put on the new one. I'm not sure if you should be painting your calipers if you are asking how to jack the car up, no offense.

 

this thread sucks

 

lol im gonna need a how to... to paint those calipers too

 

I will say it again...READ YOUR SERVICE MANUAL...and, DON'T PAINT YOUR CALIPERS if you are asking for a how-to on jacking your car and replacing a wheel, especially when you've been told to read your service manual that is in your glove box.

 

You should pay some one to do this for you. Since you don't know how to jack up the car and take off the wheel I wouldn't recomend you should attempt anything on your own, and especially painting your calipers. You need to take of the calipers (basicly like doing a brake change), so I would recomend you get someone to do this for you.

No offense, but that's just a sugestion

 

lol o nevermind then i wont paint it, any1 wanna paint my callipers?

 

I'll paint your calipers...drive down to Philly...and i'd me more than happy. to..but it'll cost ya.

 

Come on, ease up guys. Maybe Xopton is a chick. How many of your girlfriends can change a tire? Mine couldn't even open the hood. But who cares.

 

I'm cool I'm just warning about the calipers thing, I'm cool. That's what I respect maxima.org for because most of the times guys over here try not to flame others I would paint the calipers for free if I would live in NJ. I like doing projects, and I can't do non of mine because I'm too ****en broke

I hate TARGET!!! And it seems like I'm going to be stuck there for the rest of my life because no one else wants me!!! F>U>C>K

 

Pay someone to do your mods. You are obviously incapable and have very little if any common sense or mechanical ability.

 

I'm not assaulting anybody, I'm just recommending that if you can't change a tire when the instructions are in the glove box, then don't paint the calipers, and don't bother trying to change the wheels around. Ohh, and being a chick has nothing to do with it...that's like calling women in general inferior. I would change a ladies tire out of respect, but if they are asking how to do it, and aren't listening when they are told how to or where to get the info, then they shouldn't do it. Also, I'm surprised nobody has dropped the whole "he's prolly a young buck" crap.

 

nice to see alot of firendly people on the org lol

 

He he.

Ok, he does raise one good question. Isn't there a place on the front of the car where he can raise the entire front end and put the car on jacks...and then change his tires. ok maybe I'm telling him too much. have good year do it.

 

xopton, whatever happened to your car man... i know that a tree fell on it or something. . . did you get it fixed??

 

this is how i painted my calipers......jack car up.....take take the luge nuts off, take the wheel off.

tape off anything you do not want painted. tape off the rotors, all the other junk as well. and paint them with caliper paintform autozone.

 

Proper jack placement for hydraulic floor jacks

 

to be honest my max is the first car that i've ever used a hydraulic jack and when i put my fender it took me for ever to figure out where to put it... but im not mechanically dumb so i can see where he maybe coming from...he may just need the location of where to place the jacks
ohh and my gf doesnt know how to open her hood but she knows the difference btw a supercharger and a turbo.. go figure!?!

 

Hehe, I was just joking. It's cool. I've got nothing against women, and I'm not calling them inferior. But it is mostly guys that are interested in cars and stuff. I mean, look at the ratio of male to female members on this org. It's what, 95% male? It don't matter. It's just that guys and girls aren't exactly the same. Not that guys are better, or girls are better. Just USUALLY have different interests. How many of us guys own one of them chicken soup books, you know, with a bunch of sad, emotional stories. Half the girls I know owns one or has at least read one. Does that mean guys are insensitive and jerks. No. There are girls who are very good with cars, and guys who love emotional sap. Just usually some differences, that's all. No need for politically correct bs about it.

 

lol i never said im a girl, i just wanted a how to. . . to see where all the parts are and how u use it, and i only had my max for a few months so i never changed a rim before, i didnt feel like looking in my manual cause i wanted to see if any1 ever made it a how to.... lol
