I'm doing suspension and brake work this winter. After mounting and dismounting the wheels several times I finally figured out something most of you have probably known forever.
I went to ACE and bought two bolts that match the thread of the lug bolts and cut the heads off. I've always been a late bloomer... Next I'll figure out how to post a photo in the correct orientation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)  |

i ALWAYS leave one of the floor jacks raised to just touching as a safety back up no matter which type of stand i'm using. like a fall arresting harness. you'll never need it until you try to fly and have failed to attach yourself to one. then, if you're lucky, you only have to endure a little pain.

Backups are good. I ALWAYS have my floor jack just touching somewhere when I use jack stands. |
