Tire Change Station

A mobile, safe, cost-effective, and accurate hands-on learning experience of a practical skill; changing a tire.

• Extremely safe, mobile, and quite a bit smaller/lighter than a vehicle.
• Classroom friendly. Easily fits through doorways. No dirt, grease or rust commonly found on a vehicle.
• Exposes students to many transferrable skills and knowledge such as;
  • righty-tighty / lefty-loosey for correct nut rotations
  • star shaped tighten procedure to ensure that a balanced tightening force is applied
  • importance of hand-tightening to allow for desirable lug nut contact.
• A learning module is supplied so that teachers and students can successfully use this station to confidently change a tire. (Module also includes a very short True/False quiz if a teacher is interested in tracking learning effectiveness)
• All hardware is included; jack, deep impact socket, and torque wrench.
