Really REALLY embarrassing question......
Hurdy:
I've always put the jack under the car first, so it is tight up against the jacking points and then cracked the bolts loose. Maybe I'm a little bit over careful :laugh: But better safe than sorry :happy2:
holepunch:
Does anyone ever use a v small amount of copper grease on the bolts and the mating faces of the alloy and hub?
I would also be v grateful if someone could post a couple of pic of a car on axel stands/trolley jack.
One day I'll get a 4 post lift.

Sorry, I help it. :laugh: not that I'm any better... a few months ago I slightly damaged a bit of the underbody plastic lining trying to jack the car up - it was in completely the wrong place :signIWS: The fact that it was snowing at the time and night time didn't really excuse it as I knew exactly where I was placing it. I got terrified after that and left it alone. The next time I attempted it was when I did the S3 I/C job :rolleye:
