Pushing Chmaeras

[jubileejim]

Okey so if I need to push my Chim is there anything to watch out for? Its on level ground and I am merely pushing it forward- then back if I cant fix the problem.

I stick bits of wood under the wheels and just move it a bit a time, nice & easy if you use the wheel spokes as levers (just dont get your hands caught against the calipers).

The best place to push is the top of the tyre. This gives you twice the leverage that you'd get pushing against the body. If you find it a problem, put a chock behind the back wheel that you are pushing against. By bouncing the car against the chock (and then nudging the chock forwards with your foot so the car can't roll back again) you'll find you can push it up quite a steep slope without assistance. If there is any chance of getting one or two others to help you you will find it is dramatically easier and quicker. But if needs must you can push the car single handed up hill without assistance - it is just very very slow.
