You just gave the reason I'm using a hydraulic floor jack rather than the crappy stock jack. They don't call the stock jacks "widow makers" for nothing. However, the problem then becomes how to...

Thanks. We've really been enjoying our X3 so far, and have been finding reasons to drive it all over the place. It's also now totaly shined up from top to bottom, tucked safely in our garage.:)
