Pictures of where to jack up and place the jack stands?

Ollybridge

Hi All,

I've read some horror stories of people bending their chassis and the doors not shutting on their speedsters cos they have jacked up the back of the car in the wrong place. I've got to attempt to change my clutch cable at the weekend and I wondered if anyone had any pictures about where I should jack it up from and where i should place the jack stands? I've been told to just jack up the back of the car underneath by the engine, but i need more specifics, is there a particular place? I know people might cringe when they read this as it's so easy to them, but we've all got to start somewhere and I'm a complete newbie to all of this. Everyone has been so helpful so far, so I thought that I would just throw it out there and see if anyone can help a rookie like me :-) I also need to buy the trolly jack and stands, does anyone know the weight limit that I would need to buy for, I think it's about 500kg, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks so much in advance everyone,

Olly
