Default STFA , iirc mike purems did a writeup and markp used another method : )

basically you press it and use screwdriver to move the sac to the beginning of travel (sac springs pressed = sac set for use).

Squeeze the PP with one hand and turn the SACM with the other.

Default Lol, I remember that. I did it once like that too, but I used a 4x4 as per factory repair manual ;)

It ended up hitting my friend in the head when I let the jack down. Oops!
