I'm downtown and have a light but big enough aluminum jack you can borrow. Unfortunately time wise all I have is thursday or sat/sun morning. If you do go buy one, I've had good luck with the lo-pro aluminum one from Harbor Freight. They go on and off sale all the time. I used to have a big monster floor jack and these are much easier to lug around

Ok thanks. Well it looks like Friday it is. Eric, would be able to bring your floor jack? You know I'm in Atascocita, right? Off of 1960 and W. Lake Houston.

I would greatly appreciate anyone's help either Wednesday, Friday, Saturday or even Sunday afternoon. I know how to do it and have done it before, just not solo and I don't know if I can go buy a jack.
