I get if you're doing valve adjustments by putting just one side of the car up but if you're on a lift (I have an EZCar Lift) it's a bit awkward for me to stop one wheel from turning (with my foot) while spinning the other to get to the next adjustment point.
Anyone use a ratchet strap or similar? Seems a floor jack under the wheel would just get pushed out of the way... Thanks, Brian |
