Bumper jack stowage question

puffbunny · 02-03-2007, 05:00 PM

I have a bumper-jack spring, the bumper jack, and a vague idea of what is supposed to be going on from the stickers on the inside of my trunk (I have a 68 Dart), but the illustrations are old and moldy and not so clear anymore.. And my big brains are somewhat befuddled how to secure the bumper jack using that storage spring..

If someone knows how to do this... gosh, if someone who had a car like mine and a digital camera could just get a good closeup of how it is done and post it-- i would be your friend!!! :-)

thanks

The tire iron tool goes in first with the chisel end toward the front of the car. The jack goes on top of it and the spring attaches to the jack. The other end of the spring attaches to the U shaped piece of metal sticking up. I don't have a picture but it makes sense once you get it right.

Roger.. figured out most of that. But, I don't understand how the loop part of the spring connects to the jack.

Thanks
