What a coincidence... I actually need those things. I'll probably bide my
time looking for a jack (I have many other things on which to spend $150
right now) but I do need to pick up a grease gun and a sparkplug turner.
Feeler guages too. Any ideas where I could get the originals? (Affordably
of course...)
One the subject of the jack, I've been using a traditional "scissor" jack to
elevate the car. I place it directly below the jacking point hole, on the
crossmember, but this isn't quite good enough for the rear axle. I usually
call my wife over to lift the car an additional inch or so in order to refit
the rear wheel. Is there anywhere near the rear of the body where it is
safe to place the jack?
