Default How do I push in the tab on my Jack Stands?

Dumb question, but I can't figure this out. There's a little tab on my jack stands - How the heck do you push this in? In the instructions it just says "push in tab" or something like that.

It's solid metal and I don't have any heavy duty tools - it's right of the number "2" in the picture.

Flathead screwdriver. Use it for leverage against the non tab portion.

Thanks - I'll try to angle it properly but I couldn't get enough leverage to push it in.

Also does anyone have a photo of what the rear jack looks like (the one in the center of the car)? Thanks =)

you can stack the stands if you don't push in the tab.
