Jacking up a 944

This might seem like a strange question but its better to be safe than sorry. I want to adjust the parking brake on my S2 and the manual says jack up the rear and remove both wheels. I am wondering the best method to raise both rears wheels at the same time. Being that I don't have a hoist at my disposal should I just use 2 jacks, one on each side.. or would it be safe to put a trolley jack with timbers under the gearbox? .. I have seen some people do this on conventional rwd cars and lifting the diff up but I'd just be worried that I'd damage the gearbox or some mounts etc... thoughts?

cheers.. adam.

You can probably do it without damage, but: You need to put it on jack stands for safety anyway, so you could just jack each side up and put the stand underneath. No way that I - or you - should trust a floor jack alone.
