Re: Changing Hydraulic Jacks on Phantom Cars. 37-Ex is now in the shop, for fitting a new set of Front Hydraulic Jacks, to do this we have to remove the horns and headlamps, disconnect the Side Lamps, remove Front Apron, both Wings, and running boards, which is a long and costly job. An alternative method is to remove the Front Apron, and front Roll Rod Levers, draw out the Roll Rod through the Front Crossmember, remove the front Crossmember, and fit new Jacks, this also is quite a costly job.
