It is necessary
- - tipper;
- - spare wheel;
- - several assistants;
Instructions
Step 1
Before tilting the car, consider whether this operation is really necessary. Perhaps, it is enough to take turns to raise the sides of the car with a jack and hang it on stands, use a repair pit or overpass. Please be aware that any careless action when rolling over the vehicle may result in serious damage to the chassis.
Step 2
If you do decide to flip your car, you will need a special tipper that matches your brand of car. Since the purchase of this device requires funds, and self-assembly is not an easy task, rent it for a few days. Using a factory device is the only reliable and safe way to tilt your vehicle.
Step 3
There is a simple version of the car rollover, usually applied to the "classic" VAZ. It is also suitable for other cars of similar design. Please note that you will need more than one person to help you. Do not tilt the machine alone and risk damage or injury.
Step 4
Lower the front side glass, insert the spare tire vertically into the window opening, closer to the door pillar. After that, assistants must carefully tip the car on its side, while maintaining the spare wheel. By touching the ground, the wheel will securely hold the vehicle upside down. When turning the car over, make sure that the wheel is perfectly vertical.
Step 5
You can make a tipper yourself using the diagrams given on the Internet. When making the fixture, do not use wood or other fragile materials. When working with a homemade device, take into account the possibility of its breakdown, so always in one way or another insure the car against falling. For example, substitute additional supports in the form of solid wooden logs.
