Quick qu on jacking up pls!

[nickyboy]

I'm picking up some new wheels and selling the old ones all in one go at the weekend...

Therefore need to leave the Sup without any wheels for a while.

What's the best way to do this? Is it just to sit the brake discs on wood on bricks? Or am I going to mess something up?

lol you should use 4 axel stands to support the car not bricks but if you must use bricks place them on the jacking up points.

God no!!!!

Get some Axle stands!

thought we were talking drugs for a minute LOL

Must remember to leave some of these axle stands out for next time my wheels get nicked.

At a tenner a pair from Halfords they're cheaper than locking wheel nuts!

Best to lift the whole rear end, use 2 axel stands - one on each side then the same at the front.

Trolley jack under the diff then trolley jack under the front cross member.

Here's a good diagram:

You're not kidding! That's a great diagram and most helpful - cheers.

Had mine up on axle stands recently painting the calipers and could have done with that info. Fortunately I used a little common sense and got through safely.

BTW, where'd ya get the diag?

Merckx you are a legend!!! Thank you!!!!!

[nickyboy]

Sorry, another quick one...

Can I do the back and sit it on the axle stands and then just sit the front on the trolley jack for a day?

Got it off www.supraforums.com

Think it's originally from the workshop manual.

It's from http://www.mkiv.com, look under tech articles and manual resources for chunks of the repair manual and the complete electrical one.

Must be where I found it originally, but I looked this morning and couldn't find it.

*BUMP*

[merckx]

Probably best to put the front end on the axel stands and leave the trolley jack under the diff.

It would be okay if it was in a safe place where knowone has access, I wouldn't do it otherwise.

Depends on how confident you are in keeping it stable, don't want any accidents!!!!!!
