NameTaken Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hey guys! I it bought my first car about a week ago, it's a 1997 Subaru legacy outback. It's awesome! But I blew almost all my money on the car. It's in great shape, except for a seized rear caliper. I got all the parts I'll need too, but can't work on the car without a decent jack. The one that comes with the car is ok for changing a tire, but I dOnt think it's strong enough to liftthe car for a while while I figure out how to remove the caliper, clean it out, and reinstall it (it's a scissors jack, and the threads are a bit stripped/worn already.) Any suggestions for a mechanic that will let me use a jack or do one of y'all live in corvallis and could maybe loan me one? Thanks a million!

idosubaru Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 jack it up and rest it on some blocks or something more sturdy. if it's not up to the task then go get one. they're not worth anything, i throw them away, so someone will have one cheap and you'll want one that works anyway. you don't want a flat with no jack. seems easier than peddling for time/jack when it's something you really should have anyway.

Olnick Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 ^+1! Check out some salvage/pull 'n pay yards--should be able to fine one for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
