Dual cylinder jack with interchangeable attachments

A mechanism for raising and lowering parts of a vehicle during service thereon, the mechanism comprising:

• a jack assembly having a mobile base with a jack portion supported thereon in a generally upright position, wherein the jack portion has a piston and a cylinder, a portion of the piston being slidably received in the cylinder and movable along a longitudinal axis of the jack assembly between extended and retracted positions, and wherein the piston has a distal end opposite the portion received in the cylinder;
• a jig carriage coupled with the distal end of the piston and having a body and an arm, the arm having a proximal end which is pivotally coupled with the body and a distal end;
• and
• a vehicle part jig removably coupled with the distal end of the arm of the jig carriage, wherein the jig is a flywheel jig for adapting the mechanism to couple with a flywheel of the vehicle to support and align the components of the flywheel during assembly, disassembly and repair, wherein the flywheel jig has a hub with a plurality of mounting bars extending therefrom at a distal end, each of the mounting bars having distal ends spaced apart from the hub, wherein the flywheel jig is coupled to the distal end of the arm of the jig carriage at a proximal end of the hub, and wherein the distal ends of the mounting bars include an aperture therethrough to facilitate coupling the flywheel jig with the flywheel.
