| Pro lift jack stands are great. I have a set of 4 along with their hydraulic jack. I definitely recommend them. Cancer warning is some political bullshit. Everything gives you cancer in the state of California apparently. | |||||
| RE: 2 ton or 3 ton jack? | 40Relevance | 3 years ago | MrBob | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If it has a rating of lets say 3 tons then it should be as durable as it's equivalent in a 3 ton steel jack. The problem lies in relying on a hydraulic jack on wheels to support the car while you are working on it. The jack can slip from under the car with even minor rocking. It's not designed to stabilize the car only lift it up. jack stands are made to stabilize. The rule that I go by is the car wants to kill you. | |||||

| Hi Scotty, I love your videos and watch them regularly. I just bought 2 jack stands and a 3T floor jack. Aside from the 4 jack support points mentioned in the owners manual, is there a video or website that explains how to jack up the front or rear of the vehicle safely and then put jackstands under the vehicle? | |||||

| Nope. I wouldn’t risk it. The standard jack can barely lift the car safely at the hoisting points, let alone jacking the engine. Buy a dedicated jack & jack stands designed for such use. You don’t want the car slipping/falling off the factory jack. | |||||

| Yeah, that is a problem on those poorly designed cars. You'd be better off doing your suggestion, putting it off a little to the side and then putting the jakest stands on the lift points. | |||||

| Go to an auto store and buy you a trolley jack. Basically small version of a floor jack but some come with a nice storage and carrying case so it’ll be easy to put in the van and use. Gonna weigh about 15-20 lbs. easiest to use. Bottle jacks, scissor jacks are not to complicated to use, weigh less, but are not as safe and the risk of jack failure is higher over a trolley jack. Coupled with a jack stand it’s about as safe, sturdy and simple as you could ask for. Here’s a link to what autozone has. Put same one in wifes car so she can change a tire with out he ... | |||||
| Answer to: Should I use manual oil extractor for oil change on my 2000 Toyota Echo? | 39Relevance | 2 years ago | Mark-Snodgrass | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If you try jack stands or ramps, ramps are pretty self explanatory. Use e-brake and chock rear wheels, see below. For jack stands, your manual should show you the jack points. Always jack car on hard level surface like concrete. Apply e-brake, and chock the rear wheels. I have some bricks. I put one in front and back of each rear wheel (4 bricks) | |||||
| Answer to: 2021 Honda CR-V and a floor jack | 38Relevance | 5 years ago | Figmund Sreud | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| There is a special place, right in the centre, on the first heavy crossmember in front. Just look under the car at the front. Just beyond bumper cover and plastic coverings. There is even a reinforcement pad welded onto that heavy crossmember - look for it. That’s where you place the jack. And make sure you use a proper floor jack, and not a tire jack! I say, at least 1-1/2nton rated floor jack. And block with chocks both rear wheels before starting to jack, too. Be safe at all costs, … F.S. | |||||

| I also had a 2013 Fusion and encountered the same thing. Depending on what you're working on, you might invest in some Rhino ramps for oil changes and stuff like that. Then, you won't need to jack up the car, you can drive on the ramps. | |||||

| Honda civic type r jack | 37Relevance | 4 years ago | xam25801 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty/everyone: I got a Honda Civic Type r (super fun) and I want to start changing my own oil instead of paying random people to do a mediocre job. I have ratchets, screwdrivers and funnels. So I assume that I will need a jack/stands and an oil filter removal tool. Is this true? Anyone have any recommendations for a jack/stands/oil filter removal tool (and anything else)? Thanks | |||||

| ... the vehicle's frame where they touch each other. When a car is not ideally aligned respective to the center of gravity and with enough force pushing the car in one direction, I assume the car may slide off the palms and hit the ground. What force is required to push a raised vehicle off the hydraulic lift arms? Imagine, two die-hard people push the raised car (just for science). Can they flip it over? Compare with jack stands that usually have a curved "pincer" that restricts the horizontal movement of a vehicle's frame bar. How would you assure a person ... | |||||
