Homer Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Is it "safe" to put the car on 4 axle stands? Thinking of changing the clutch at home but am a bit wary of whether it's safe or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of changing the clutch at home but am a bit wary of whether it's safe or not No different to using a 2 post ramp really as the weight of the car is still only on 4 points. As long as they're good quality axle stands you really shouldn't have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
