How Do You Make A Car Jack Go Down

The process of car jack installation can be a little confusing for first-time do-it-yourselfers. In this article, we will walk you through the steps involved in installing a car jack and provide tips on how to make the installation process as easy as possible.

What You’ll Need

To make your car jack go down, you will need a jack, a wrench, and some WD-40.

1. Get your jack.
2. If the jack is an electric one, put the appropriate plug in to an outlet and turn it on.
3. If the jack is a manual one, get the appropriate wrench and unscrew it from the post.
4. Put WD-40 in the wrench and unscrew the bolt on top of the jack.
5. Push the post of the jack up against your car’s bumper and tighten the bolt on top of the jack with the wrench.
6. Put your hands behind your back and pull up on the jack handle to lift your car off of the ground.

How to Do It

You can make a car jack go down by using the following steps:

1. Locate the car jack and unhook it from the car.
2. Open the car jack so that it’s lying flat on the ground.
3. Place one end of the rope on the top of the car jack and tie it tightly to the other end of the rope.
4. Stand in front of the car jack and pull on both ropes to raise it up off of the ground.
5. Hang onto the ropes as you lift the car jack off of the ground, and let go once it’s at a height where you can easily insert your arm inside.
