I figured out with a little help from a fuzzy picture of the jacking instructions label that had been wet (another site), how these suckers go in. :laughing5:
Make sure your bolt is oriented correctly. In the first hole/slot and the bend to the drivers side.

The jack has to be open about 10", look for the marks in the paint since it looks like they painted them open at storage height. Ignore the holes near the top scissor pivot, that is for the bolt on another car. Lean the tire on the flats on the shelf it sits on, backside up and valve stem toward you. You did check the pressure in the tire right? :tongue11: Place the jack in with the hex end of the screw to the rear, and the ground end to the passenger side.

Now slide the tire up and back guiding the bolt through the pilot hole. The bolt should go to the left of the jack screw. With the socket end of the wrench folded in, place the handle over the bolt rounded side up with the pry bar end forward resting on the rim. Spin on the wing nut. Notice the socket end of the handle and the top of the jack and the hex end of the jack screw go down in the rim as you tighten and the foot of the jack goes up. Both the handle end of the wrench and the jack screw rest on the tire / rim.

And at last. Stuff your crap you are going to carry in the tire in. Pull the cover over the tire, putting the end of the bolt into the little grabber thing stitched into the center of it.

And now all is right with the world, the force is aligned, ready for the trumpet call. :hello2: Time for a frosty beverage :icon_jook:
