[QUOTE="vortex_kl, post: 672301, member: 25390"] Went to buy a 2-ton mini floor jack at Carrefour and a wrench with 17mm socket this afternoon. I chose the more more expensive wrench which has telescopic arm for better leverage but the socket was damaged just after loosening 2 nuts... €¥¥%#%. Had to go to a DIY shop near my place and luckily I managed to get a replacement socket. As for the plastic jack point, thank god there's some wooden plank around my house so using a jigsaw, I managed to made a temporary adapter which I slot it inside the jack point. I've loosened all the nuts but have not removed the tyre yet as I'm planning to send it tomorrow morning. Meanwhile I've tested leaving the jack lifting the car for a few hours to see if it can hold. Well I hope it will hold for at least whole day tomorrow but I'm going to stack some wooden planks underneath the wheel plate just in case. Wish me luck. [/QUOTE]
