Used ramps, very easy!

 

Yes use ramps..

 

Bryan, why remove the wheels, if you have to jack the car up removing the wheels isn't going to help. If I may make a suggestion, get yourself a set of Rhino Ramps ( WallMart, AutoZone, etc. ), for the price it will probabaly be one of the best investments you'll ever make.

OK...the dinghy blonde has a question. What's the difference between regular car ramps and the Rhino ramps you speak of?

 

They're made of genuine imitation rhino-hide!

 

It's the brand name. And they're made of plastic instead of metal.

Ramps will only work on the rear of the HHR.

 

Why's that?

Just wondering cause mine has been used on the front with no problem.

 

Thanks Mike...now I know.

 

No ramps, no jacks, and I did not (obviously) remove the rear tires. I will second the torque wrench being a bit difficult to use with so little room. If you have ramps, use them. It will make it easier to use the torque wrench

 

I don't know what type you have, but I've got your average metal ones and the front of the HHR on both sides of the wheel is way too low, probably 2 inches. Backing the rear tires on to the ramps is the only way it works. I haven't seen any variant of a ramp that has a gradual enough incline that would work with the HHR (front).
