Hi Gents,
The driver side DRL turn signal bulb in front has gone out.
The no tool solution of turn the wheels and have a monkey whose hand could fit around the corner and accomplish the push, turn pull did not work for me.
Next best appears jacking the body (some kind of low profile jack or 2x8 or 2x10 drive up on) appears to be cheapest least tool plan B.
Can I use a scissors jack and puck under the driver side front frame spot to just jack the body up enough to have the access panel clear the top of the tire, and place jack stands under the driver side rear lift spot,
and front stub frame lift spot, driver side (with pucks) and be safe?
I really want to avoid a trolley jack I will never use for anything else, 25 inch breaker bar and torque wrench for getting the wheels off and back on to do the same.
A plan B would probably to buy all the bulbs for both sides and pay Goodyear to put it on a lift, remove the wheels and have at it.
At my 100 miles per week, it would probably me my last time.
Sorry, I know many of you are hands on mechanics and purists.
I just want to drive it.
It has been 35 years since I did anything besides sound equipment and deadening on a car.
Thanks,
Atl Eng
