Re: ‘49 22nd bumper jack

Once upon a time (think early 70's), I helped the owner of a couple of bathtubs (Granddad) change the tires on his cars using the jacks that came with them. I remember the pins and aligning them, and so on and so forth. I also remember that, especially in the rear, the body had to rise considerably to get the wheel assembly to clear the sheetmetal. I think that the front could be coaxed out using a bottle jack under the suspension, but that was a while ago.

I haven't taken a wheel off of either of the current crop. I'm probably past due to buy a good floor jack with decent reach/lift.

I'n my stuff, I have a 22/23 series jack. I think it's triangular. I know it has the proper pin arrangement. I'll have to (try to) remember to look for/at it when I'm back to the house this weekend. I should sell it. Damned if I'd use it.

Do people change tires any more, or do they just call AAA???
