Throw the bumper jack away...they are dangerous to
use. Get yourself a bottle jack or a jack that is used by most
mechanics...the kind you pump up, sort of a hydraulic jack..I don't
know its correct nomenclature but they are much safer to use. I've
seen them for sale recently at Costco's for about $35...well worth the
cost. As for the lug wrench, I use a socket wrench with a bar for
leverage, it works much better. Now, I don't know about your car but the
lugs on my Imperial have a reverse thread on the left wheels, something to
remember.

Subject: IML: 62 Imp bumper jack
About a year ago, my wife, Gloria saw this 62
4DR/HT Crown at our local car show and bought it on the spot. We call
her (the car) "Prom Queen" because my wife graduated in 62.
The spare
tire is one of the original tires and it has a bumper jack that came with
it. I never had the chance to really inspect it until I had to use it
the other day while going a complete brake job. (that's another
story)
Anyway the jack does not work and it useless. I'm looking
for a bumper jack for the car, plus the lug wrench Does anyone have a
spare I can buy?
