Jacking the car up.
bacillus:
More than likely they will not have the items in stock but the restocking time should be no more than two days.

I am amazed more people dont ask about these its difficult to find jacking points and places to sit the axle stands, i used the anti-lift kit place last time and piece of wood it certainly was not ideal. :surprised:

I would still be carefull with using axle stands with these lift pads. They are really meant for trolley jacks, which have a circular cup. Axle stands often have a V shaped fork, which is better suited on much harder underbody points.

Yes i agree i only intend using them for the trolley jack i just find it strange the lack places to put them and the lack of threads ever started on the subject,
I just dont fancy even being around the car with them scissor jacks in use let a lone being under it. :scared:

The "widow maker" isn't actually that bad. Infact, for simple jobs like whipping a wheel off for a clean and polish, it is perfectly OK - providing you don't actually get under the car (or let kids play inside the car!)
