Western Revheads Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 hey everyone, I've recently got a new trolley jack and I've never owed one before, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me where they position their trolley jack on their KE70? Quote
irokin Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 Personally I just use the center of the front cross member or diff on most cars and lift an entire end, not individual corners. Make sure its chocked (especially if you're lifting the rear) and properly supported (jack stands) before you get under it. I love my trolley jack but I don't trust it with my life. Quote
parrot Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 I will happily jack it under the chassis rail, but only with an off cut of merbau in between. I use a piece 5 - 6 inches long to spread the load. It has to be quality hardwood so it doesn't collapse on you. Quote
Western Revheads Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Posted March 26, 2017 omg, I feel so dumb right now, I was just afraid that if I used the diff or crossmember that I would brake them and ʞ©$ɟ shit up, thanks peps Quote
parrot Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 You just have to be super careful, because if you get it slightly off centre, it can slip. Especially off the diff. With the crossmember you can jam the jack in the centre hole. Be be super careful, and keep your head, and so forth well away from under the car. You wouldn't believe how quickly the car can go from being in the air, to not in the air....... Quote
