Only jack I'm aware of that will get to the centre front jacking point without faffing, and lift to a decent height.
I can get mine to a bit over the first notch height of my axle stands using my crappy halfords 2t basic trolley jack. A friend's 3t ultra low jack also works, but it's a bit of a pain to get it far enough under, then you only have a tiny bite of lift per stroke until the car is a fair bit up in the air.
For torquing you can go 2x45deg or whatever increment you can manage with the space you've got. |
Not a bad piece of kit but the price!
I will try raising the wood from 2" to 3-3.5" to get enough room for the bar to lift. Also, I can remove the under tray before lifting as this will allow the bar to go more up into the engine area...Once the car is lifted (through small strokes) eventually it will start to lift properly...
Point noted about the 2x45 degrees... I had assumed it had to be just one 90 degree turn to activate the TTY property...but if it can be done in 2 turns, that will make life easier for sure.
