Removing sump plug - kinda of urgent

**1996ek1** · 15-01-2008 08:32 PM

No its not raised lol. When i look at the sump plug, im turning anti-clock wise. (thats when im upside down under the car)

I thought it wasnt good to raise the car when im under it lol.

My problem here is shit all leverage. Drive way goes downhill from the garage so i put it just out of the garage, so front is higher. I got kind of under it but still not enough leverage.

Should i just jack it up and go for it ?
(im pretty sick of this stupid plug, i think ill just take to mech. )

Last time i tried stands, the stands i have have like guide rails welded on, and when i was going down off the ramps, they caught my bumper ( i had no clue ) and they ripped it. ( my bumper has 2 rips under it , 1 on each side)

K. i quit. ill take to mechanics.
ill stop being a tight arse and pay the price....

wtf?
where are you putting your stands?
there's a spot underneath your side skirts.

It boggles me why people do sump plugs up so tight... they arent structural, or under any stress at all... Screwdriver tight is plenty.

You're at a workshop and they don't have a decent socket set and/or breaker bar?

Go and BUY stands... Your life is worth more than $40.
