you need to adjust the height of it and make it retract but screwing the height adjustment screw with your hands and it will become loose. no????

it isnt out yet? turn the knob thing at the end of the jack until it loosens up.

lol... this happened to me too and it took me an hour to figure out how to remove that damn jack...
All you have to do is turn the knob on the jack and loosen it down, the jack actually acts as a tightener holding to the car's body so it won't budge when you're driving.

use a screwdriver...and put it in the hole in the end of the jack and turn. if it doesnt budge get a metal pipe and put the end of the screwdriver in it to get more leverage and then do it, that should work
