Jack
The jack is a mechanics tool in Project Zomboid required in removing tires, brakes and suspension from vehicles. Alongside the jack, a lug wrench is also needed to remove tires, whereas a wrench is needed with the jack for removing brakes and suspension, while also ensuring the tire has been removed first. The player will not be able to use the jack on a vehicle if they have not read the appropriate recipe magazine corresponding to that vehicle type.
