[Klang1.6]

i want to swap frount and rear wheels, but i need to take them both off at once. Is it safe to jack the car up using 2 jacks and take both wheels off????

Why Cant You Do 1 At A Time?

Why dont you take one off replace it with the spare wheel, then do next wheel.

Jack each end up one at a time and axle stand and then I would, I would not have the car in the air and take both wheels off just on a jacks.

Yes if using trolley jacks. I was in the garage getting the new wheels fitted and he jacked it up and it was fine. With TROLLEY JACKs ONLY.

as said, with a proper jack then yes!

I've done it with one trolley jack and one factory fit jack, just make sure handbrake is on, chock other two wheels in front and behind... Then cross your fingers!

My cars stiff enough to be jacked up at the front with a trolley jack and the back wheel lifts off the ground as well! Done it a good few times now

^ mine does the same

 

[Englebert]

So does mine!

I've head that jacking points go all the time, is it actually safe to use a beefy one?

Same here, did it on Sunday to put my new wheels on and spray the calipers.

I've done it with the crappy jack you get with the car plenty of times.

The actual process of changing wheels is not suddenly going to unbalance the car! Unless you trying to loosen or tighten the wheel nuts while the wheels are off the floor.

i found the jacking points are very weak on the 182,noticed this using 2 trolley jacks,1 either side when changing oil..
