Video Description

Jacking up your 2008 Kia Spectra can be dangerous if done incorrectly. The video above shows you where the jack location is along with where the jack points and lug nut wrench are located in your Spectra. The video shows how to assemble the components of the jack kit and safety precautions to take when using your jack. Most Kia jack kits include the jack, a jack handle and a lug nut wrench. If you have a flat tire in your Kia Spectra, please see our how do I fix a flat tire video.

Use the owner's manual to find the Spectra jacking points and this video to see additional jacking tips to help minimize the risk of injury. The best way to avoid injury is to never get under your vehicle while it is jacked up, especially if you don't have jack stands positioned in the jack stand points on your Spectra. Remember also, that even if your car is jacked up properly, another car could hit it and knock it over; therefore, be sure to give careful consideration to your environment before raising your car.

We have a massive and growing video library, but we don't have everything...yet.

Car companies often use the same engines in different cars. They also slightly alter the styling and sell the same car by two different names (amongst other tricks to help offset development costs).

Our system selects the most applicable video for your car based, in part, on these characteristics. The video displayed may not look exactly like your car, but may be relevant enough for you to get a good idea how to do it.
