Nick,
I see the jacks on Ebay every so often.
I got one about a year ago for the 4.
The seller bead blasted it, which was a mistake.
Plenty of material in the screw.
Well I finally got it apart, cleaned and it works great.
Cant say the same for the ratchet. It was shot.
The ratchet TRF sells is of top quality and fits the OEM jack perfect.
I am guessing the jacks are of similar quality.
Bob
