Hello,

I attempted doing my front brakes today - and finished. However, I am unable to lower the car down. My floor jack (SunexHD Model 66037) is stuck up in the air, and will not lower the car down.

At the moment, I have the tires on (I wanted to take it out for a drive) to test the brakes.

Any ideas -- the tech support department for the Jack is closed.

-- Is it ok to leave the car suspended in the air as it is now (the tires are on) ?

I will appreciate some assistance.

thanks - MN

if u have another jack use it to lift the car 1/4 inch higher then pull out the bad jack...then use the second jack to lower the car

yeah, I thought about it -- I will have to go buy and return it, if the stores allow it.

Alternatively, I think the handle locks onto the a hex nut, which needs to be turned clockwise to lock and pump it up, and counter-clockwise to lower. If i can find the size of that nut, I can possibly get an adapter to turn it counter clockwise. I am going through the service manual to see if it would give me an idea.

I DID IT ....i turned the hex screw counter clockwise and the car just dropped -- not slowly, but at least, it is now down. I will take it for a test drive and then worry about the jack -- maybe return it for a different one.

must have been a cheap jack, hope you return it and get a better one.

Yes, I am surprised -

I spent about $200 on it, and thought I was getting a good jack. but I will see if I can get it replaced.

cheers, MN
