Then you pull the handle out and pump it by hand until you get enough room to swing the handle. Its not rocket science.


The Handle doesn't just come out, it has to be unbolted. And even if I did that you couldn't pump it with so little leverage.

By the time you f**k about doing s**t like that, its easier & quicker to just jack up one side then the other.

mm right o my handle just sits in there and is twisted half a turn to lock it in. but if yours doesnt do that than I see your point. Although you'll find its not that hard to ger a jacke to in compress ur springs by hand its when it take the full weight one the wheels of the ground that it gets to be a bit much

Bringing up an old post again :)

Just wondering what point i should jack up the car on each side if i wanted to do each side individually? e.g. rather than jacking it up from the diff.

I jack mine up from the standard jacking points, ie from the sills just behind the front wheels and just infront of the rear wheels. Then I place the axle stands on the chassis rails just in from those points.

The scissor jack seems to have a little hole (about 3cm long) where it slots into position.

However as the hydraulic jack has a flattish round base it wouldnt be suitable for that part i wouldn't think, or maybe its different with the side skirts on? I'll get under tommorow and have a look.

My trolley jack has a round 'dished' top to it. I use it on the jacking points without a problem.
Don't go jacking off the side skirts.
