LOGIE Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Quick one. Is it safe enough to jack up the rear end by putting the jack on the diff? Its so I can get both wheels off the deck at once. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I did that today then used axle stands on both sides for safety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I've done it before with no problems, just do it on level ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPG Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 It's probably best to put a nice thick bit of wood on the jack rather than metal on metal, and it helps to spread the weight across the casing, done this to all my Sups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Cheers all. I get to test my new mammoth sized trolley jack. Mans work. Will defo use axle stands as always and chalks on front wheels on level ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The diff is a correct place to jack up the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
