Sounds like you did a great job, Countrygirl. I really like the jack from Costco.
I'm just curious about using the grease on the wheel studs. We were always instructed NOT to use any kind of lubricants, etc. on wheel studs-- as that would give you a false torque reading. Some of our torque charts have this printed on them.
