Jacking the C6, jack insert
I recently purchased a jack insert to jack my C6. To my dismay the diameter of the jack shank is to large for my jack/jacks. I though that this would be a standard size, I was wrong. Any ideas on jack type and manufacturer.

Not exactly clear what you're actually reffering to, but if it's a lifting puck that properly fit's into the chassis lift point opening's, a BMW rectangular puck work's fine. Use one along with an older Harbor Frieght low profile aluminum floor jack w/rubber lifiting pad to change out between track tire's several times a year.

The Harbor Frieght jack I got is their 3000# quick lift job, mainly because it was the only low profile job they carried at the time, and needed something to do a brake job on my C5. They had just opened their first store in my area at the time and sent me a nice discount coupon. Jack seem's to work fine for changing out Vette tire's, but still prefer my older heavy steel Sear's job for working on my other car's.
