restoring spare tire jack
Sunlitgold68:
Did Ford paint the whole spare tire jack with the spiral part and large bolt part installed or separate? Is that part suppose to be painted black along with the jack?
CharlesTurner:
The jack was not painted black as an assembled unit. I have some pictures of some originals at home.
Sunlitgold68:
Can you get the bolt and spiral part off? Is that how people restore them and then reinstall?

I think it is possible on some types of jacks to get the spiral or thread out, but you'd have to grind down some stops or remove pins depending on which jack you have. What year and type do you have? You'll probably have to post pics...
