Yesterday you saw how Nic fixed the brake lines on his Kia Rio, which were leaking a little bit.
I only have some very small problems with my Mondeo. Take the rear tires for example, which have a few cracks. Not very safe to keep driving with.
That's why I went to the junkyard earlier, and I bought some nice Vredestein Sportrac's. And Danny is going to help me put them on.
Or rather, I have to do it myself. - That's right, it's all up to you.
I've never put a tire on a wheel before, or remove one for that matter. Let's go.
I do have to say, the cracks are relatively big really. In the case of a top speed run in Germany or something, I wouldn't be comfortable with these.
Germany? In uncertain times like this? No way. You do need good tires nonetheless, because if I know Stéphan, he'll be able to flip the car...
when he's doing 30 km/h as well.
I've found the bolt nut in the glove compartment, so that's a good start. What do you need to do when you lose it? Cut it open?
Well, there are different ways. Usually, you've got different sets at a garage, but it could be very difficult.
It's better to have it lying around, because that saves you a lot of trouble.
They call these lightweight alloys, but I don't agree with that for one single bit.
Look out, it might fly away. - Watch out boys before it-
Try it the other way round. - It's loose now, but it should be turned to the inside?
Oh, it's a multi-tool.
You need to put it between here, stick it right up to the rim. And with this button, you can raise and lower this piece here.
That's the wrong one. My shoes are to big. No heel-and-toeing today.
Hurry up Stéphan, the time is ticking. And you need the points, to be completely honest.
It should be even further outwards. - Yep. Let that go and pull this towards you.
You can let that go now and put this back. - Right.
That's it. - How about that!
Now you have to pull this over here.
Always keep pushing it down.
Where are the tire valves?
You should squeeze this and pull it towards you.
It says here that... Wow.
What a great machine. - Yep.
On the inside, there's a small laser which can measure the distance. 0 and 15, which is not that bad at all.
Good news. Let's find out how much track is left on my new used tires.
And I think it's still very good. Look at that. Six exactly.
I love this job.
It looks even better than factory fresh.
It has the precisely behind the red. I'm getting nervous now.
Say Stéphan, when you need to do this heavy lifting at home, do you do it yourself or do you let your wife take care of things?
Always save your back, I've learned. If you don't need to lift, don't do it.
Hold the bottom of the air gun, right? - Yes.
Right Danny, I've installed some nice Vredestein Sportrac's underneath my Mondeo, albeit used, but how did I do?
I thought it was fun to do. - Well, you could've been faster if you ask me.
And it's not the hardest task either. - It isn't?
Not really, so next time you should be quicker. - Right, so you're not really satisfied.
Maybe I haven't beaten Nic, but Frank could still do worse. He's going to try and glue his Laguna back together with spit and tape.
There's still hope for me!
