Ok, I'll sound a complete numpty I know!
1998 Escort. I have the supplied jack with the car, but I have just been given a brand new set of 2 tonne axle stands and a 2 tonne trolley jack. They are both in good order but I'm not sure where I should jack the car up and where the axle stands go?I have just had a go with the Escort at the rear, and the trolley jack does not seem as if it has enough height, and using the axle stands where I think they should go means a leg gets in the way of the inward facing side of the tyre. The Escort manual only covers the supplied jack, and the instructions for the jack/stands doesn't give any idea.
Before anyone says if you don't know don't play, I agree. I'm not totally stupid, I know it has to be safe, supported and a strong chassis component, but once I know I'll be fine!
