TrailMystic Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 The sol's still less than 2 weeks old. I found the jack, but where's the handle to work the jack? Before I order one I thought I would ask if it's hidden some place that's not obvious. Even the jack was a little tricky to find. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 You mean the jack included to help replace a wheel if you have a flat? As far as I know, the sol and most cars only come with scissor jacks. These don't have handles, just little tabs that you twist to (slowly) raise or lower the jack. They're very inefficient and really the only advantages to them are their small size and how low they can go. But I deffo recommend just going out and buying a jack if you're doing any repair work.

Joe W Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yeah they are pretty useless unless you have an air compressor and impact gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrailMystic Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 According to bkhondaparts.com, there is supposed to be a tool bag which contains a jack bar and a wheel wrench. I can't find any of this, unless it's stowed somewhere I can't find (hidden gnostic knowledge that ony those with owner's manuals know about).
