The floor jack makes short work of it. Do NOT get under the car while it is on any sort of jack. BTW - To jack the front of an NG900 with a floor jack, place the jack under the front center of the car where you'll find a jacking point. This lifts the entire front end. The rears need a block to avoid crushing the side jacking point.
If you don't have a torque wrench, just tighten as previously noted to "firm" on the vehicle, then tighten them as tight as you can reasonably get them with the short factory lug wrench once you drop the car down (no standing on the lug wrench or pushing with all your weight). RE-TORQUE after a hundred or so miles.
