I need to jack the rear of the my S but its pretty low and my Jack doesnt fit under. Are there any tips what I can do about this instead of buying a lower like racing type jack, I have 2 jack stands and I wanna leave it on the jack stands, I was thnking maybe put someting under the rear tires and pull the e brake to raise the car then put the jack stand in there, hwoever I am not sure how safe that is.
Any opinion welcome.

 

You have the right idea. Make yourself a couple of wooden pads out of 2 X 10s just a little wider than the tire. Drive the rear of the car up onto these pads. This will allow the floor jack to just get under the pumpkin and get the thing started with some short strokes. Once up, you can put jack stands on each side rail.

 

aight
tnx

 

I just use the factory jack to raise the car up a half inch, then use my hydraulic floor jack the rest of the way up.

 

Thats a good idea too, hey uhh I need like socket whic would fit to the Craftsman 4 way lugnut remover since my volk GTN's holes are smaller. Is there amethod to measure and go to tool shop and buy one?

 

When I said craftsman lug nut remover I mean that 4 arm thing whic looks like a big ass plus sign, that I dont know the name of.

 

Did you try all 4 sockets on the lug wrench? Mine are all different sizes, from 17-21mm, I think.

 

Our car's lugs are a fairly standard 19 mm.

 

The problem is not the lug , the hole that the tool needs to get in. The holes are so small that the tool would scracth the wheel to get in.

 

Hey AndyS2, you are describing a very typical thing with aftermarket wheels. They are designed with smaller holes for the studs / lugs for looks as well as security.

What you will need is a good quality 19mm socket. That will fit in there. Now, obviously, if you are running aftermarket lugs, then just get a socket to match the size of the lug nuts you are running. Also, on a side note, if you are using the stock Honda lug nuts, make sure that the shape of your aftermarket wheels' lug holes match the shape of the head of the lugs. Most aftermarket wheels have a conical seat shape in the lug holes, and should therefore be used with lugs that are tapered to fit correctly in this seat.
