Injen CAI install w/o Jack? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I didn't get the spare, so I don't have the scissor jack. I got 3 options:

1) Install w/o taking the wheel off. Will that even work?
2) Can I use my buddy's Pontiac G6 Jack?
3) Can I buy a jack from the dealer or autozone or something?

Thanks!

#2 or #3 will work...no way of doing it without taking off the wheel...

You need to take the wheel off due to the removal of the stock washer bottle.

A cheap bottle jack from any auto supply should work.

You can just borrow youre friends jack, you should be fine.

Did mine without taking the wheel off or jacking up the car and it was no problem.

Turn the wheels all the way to the right so the drivers side tire points into the well.

Undo the screws that run along the front portion of the wheel well and the fender well liner should pull back.

I undid the three bolts holding the bottle in (the one closest to the front of the car was a tad tricky but just required an extension) When the bottle was free from the car I lifted it straight up. Not a big deal.

Thanks everyone, I will try to do what scotty said and have try to procure the jack as backup in case I need it.

i didn't get the spare on my 1LT option but I still have the scissor jack. If I were you I would double check for the jack.

Well unless I am completely blind, I have turned the trunk upside down looking for it.......I don't see anything resembling a jack. I have battery and tire sealant/compressor combo.

You can get a decent jack at an auto parts store for like $40 plus a little more for jackstands. You will use it from time to time so it's worth getting!

You need a jack anyway. How do you change your oil?

Did the first one free, at around 1500 miles, and I only have 5400 miles logged right now. But going to lowe's to pick up bottle jack and stands as soon as I get an email the stuff has been shipped.
