Terrible, terrible and terrible again. You show nothing at the end about getting the jack out. I will now know not to look at any of your repairs. Totally useless.

Regardless, I do agree with your point, and I do not know why I had stopped the guide this early. I usually go in-depth, and have even corrected others’ guides.

I will do better next time.
