Dave, Once jacked up, I put a jack stand under the extra length of the bar which is inserted through the knee. Then I could take the lifting jack away to make room to work on the gear assembly. I also had to weld a small ring on the bar to fit into the jacking "head" so as to be stable. You man have to make some similar adaptation for the jack you will be buying.

However, I have found a few Coupes that would not accept the 7/8 pin in the knee joint. A 3/4 will fit, or a pin turned down on a lathe to 3/4 inches will work just fine. I am attaching a picture of my pin laying on my floor jack. Lynn Nelsen In a message dated 4/14/2010 11:21:30 A.M.

A picture of a Dilly Jack or a modification to a hydraulic floor jack would be most helpful Dave Crispin N2356H ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
