[ScooterKin]

in about 45 minutes, the only thing i succeeded in accomplishing is snapping my stock jack...so now it's back to the drawing board...pics to come!! :rolleyes:

[xtccrush]

hahaha. That has to suck.

[TRD StreetRacing]

u are lucky it was ur jack that snaped and not ur jack stand :D

BTW.....u didn't take any pics??

[ScooterKin]

ok...i bailed on the swap for the following reasons...

1, i was having a bish of a time trying to get a 10mm bolt off (awkward angle) and started throwing sh!t around

2, started raining

3, was actually called away on an emergency and had to pick up a friend who's car died at Shea Stadium

here are some pics so far...

went to Sears and picked up the mother of all floor stands...

the angle's too weird...can't get any decent leverage

[TRD StreetRacing]

i guess i really can't judge from the pic....cuz the pic looks like there is a bit of space.

yeah the camera was literally on the ground when i took the shot...it's just too close to give much perspective...there's not nearly as much room as it appears

how about a 10mm flex head??

so to summarize, an install that originally was supposed to take an hour tops took 2 days, 2 trips to Sears, about $225 worth of tools (3.5 ton floor stand and a 26 piece wrench set), and a busted jack

muahahahaha some of my finest work yet :D:D
