Ex jack handle
Hi All
Been off line for awhile. On a short trip with our trailer this weekend to see the Airshow in Punta Gorda Fl. 18 mi. from destination, left rear tire on the Ex went flat.
Appears to have been damaged by a sharp object on the shoulder. Had to install the spare on the shoulder of I-75. As I got out the jack and looked under the hood for the handle, lo and behold one of the two pieces of the handle shaft was missing.
I have no idea where or when it went missing. It was the end of the shaft that fits into the jack, so I had no way to jack it up. Any ideas where I might look for a replacement? I assume I might be able to order one at the dealer, which I will look into next week when I return home. Oh, I was able to put on the spare with the assistance of a Road Ranger who came along with a hydraulic jack. What a great service. He had a small jack which he didn't think would lift the weight, but with the help of the trailer tongue jack it was fairly easy.

Junk yard would be the cheapest.
Here is a link to a new one
Direct Ford Parts Genuine Ford Truck Parts Lincoln Mercury Parts OEM Ford Parts and Accessories
For what they want for replacements it might be better to just get a compact hyd jack to carry.

Thanks for the replies.
Marc I tried the link to Direct Ford Parts and couldn't find anything. Junk yard may be the answer but I didn't know of any in this area.
JJ Thanks for info on junkyard I may try to find that.
