Nearly time for Easter and I have time to do the TABs. I am wondering whether I should spend mega money for a mechanic to do it, or can I do it myself with a pair of jack stands and me lying on the floor.
Has anyone done their TABs on their driveway (I know NickT have done his, but he is very techanical minded and I am still a learner and don't have a garage with a sunk-in tub!)
How can I torque up the TABs if it needs the car to be on the ground? I can't fit under the car this way
Or.... can I change the TABs and all that, torque it up to a safe level (while still on jack stand), and drive approx 3 miles to a garage to borrow their car lift for 2 minutes to torque them up to 55 Ft/pounds correctly? (I know they won't charge me for that :twisted: )
