Mazda 6 Jack

Hi all

New owner of Mazda 6 here.
The jack for wheel changing is hidden in a pocket down the side of the boot.
When I try to remove it, it seems to be locked in place somehow!
Is it clamped in a housing or should it simply lift out?- can't see how to
remove it!

TIA

Phil

If it's like my 626 you have to turn the lead screw on the jack
to compress the jack. The jack is wedged into the bracket
by expanding the jack when it is stored. Had me going
for a while there too.

Thanks Gordon.
Yes that was my feeling when I tried to remove it before.
Just been out and looked further!
The jack is laid on its side and through the "head" there is a brass bolt
type thing which secures it in place - bit like the spare wheel locking
arrangement.
Not surprising it wouldn't move when I yanked it.
Must have been dark last time I looked!!!!
