For the record, I would consider a jack a tool ... if you have tools, then you just need to borrow a jack (and maybe jack stands?).

I don't get why anyone cares what others think anyway. If the hassle of taking your wheels off is more than the caliper covers bother you, then don't bother. It's your car and your time

Why continue to chime in after I admitted defeat? All I asked for was a quick fix without taking the wheels off. I get it, there is none, I'm over it. Just because I don't own a jack, doesn't mean I don't have tools. I live in an apt complex and I use ramps whenever I need to get under the car. I've owned jacks before, I just don't have one now.

I definitely will pick and choose what questions I ask on here.

Why get upset over innocuous comments and suggestions?

Hahahaha, don't start that battle, we could go on for days.

Myself on the other hand have been told my vocabulary is best described as prodigious (total coincidence).

P.S. Nobody's ever told me that
