ok i want to remove the rims on my car, but there is an issue, i found the jack in the trunk, but have no idea how to get it out, i think theres a screw somewhere in there but dont know where. thats the only think i found in the trunk beside my spare tire...... Gen 1.5 by the way

You try loosening the jack itself?

If I remember, it's closed on the hanger, so you have to loosen the jack.

haha, the thread title reminds me of Bioshock. That was a great game! haha

Spin the circle thing and it will loosen an fall out.

[(K)]

Just takes some muscle, turn it to the right to expand/raise the jack and loosen it off of the bracket.

When I first had to use the jack I was confused/pissed too because it wouldn't budge, I felt like I was going to rip the whole thing off of the sheet metal lol.

a sledgehammer works wonders...

ok wheres the metal stick for the unscrewing the lug nuts?

[ThatVietGuy]

Under the mat...

[BlKSo|aRa]

i didnt find anything under mat beside the spare tire.

on my Solara, it's on the mat the covers the spare tire.

Under my trunk mat, there is a piece of hard cardboard or thin fiberboard that you have to lift up to get to the spare tire.

On the bottom side (facing the spare tire) are little hooks/clips that hold your lug wrench and jack handle suspended over the tire.

Hope this helps

[funboy102]

haha, but then again, if it was this obvious, he would probably have seen it. It's probably missing on his car

[EMBSikorsky]

Agreed - just trying to be as specific as possible.

[BlKSo|aRa]

nope probaly missing.. any1 know how much that metal stick cost? i need to use the jack.

[SolAraB]

well worst come to worst go to your local auto store and buy this

Hydraulic jacks make things so much easier.
