You got some axle stands?

 

[hilldawg172]

loosen wheel nuts, jack it up, put axle stands under, Done. Providing you have decent stands leaving it will be no problem, would stand for a year easily if you wanted lol.

no axle stands was looking to put on bricks ?? bad idea ?? only idea lol

 

[hilldawg172]

Cant say I've ever used bricks personally, but i dont see why not just make sure they are secure before you lower the jack. Also if it were me id jack from a central point and stack both sides at once then lower to stop them from toppling over.

Long way from home? What brought you up north? dont say the scenery lol

 

[mark_182_54]

yea friends have a place up there and thought london is so s**t NYE all the time so we went up north ended up in empire , one of the wierdest clubs i have ever been in lol

still good laugh but not as good as newcastle for a night out !

 

[hilldawg172]

Yeah the layout is quite strange in the empire lol. All in all Middlesbrough does have a pretty poor nightlife like, i have most of my nights out in Sheffield as i went to uni there so got loads of mates still down there.

I had a 172 cup on my drive on bricks for about 2 weeks. Was on bricks when the engine was removed and the rest of the stuff and it never budged once. Just make sure the back wheels are wedged with bricks too! I only stuck it on stands the day we put it on a trailer to scrap it .

 

[mark_182_54]

yea was trying to work out where exactly to put the bricks !

The subframe where the front wishbones join is a good bet.
