The DIY says to use the factory included scissor jack?! Thought this was completely unsafe?

I will be changing the brake pads and rotors next week. So I had a few questions.

I purchased a floor jack to properly jack the car. I am assuming I should still place a jack stand somewhere.

Where do I place the jack stands, if the floor jack is under the jacking point/pinch rail?

Thanks

 

You should never do work with the car supported by just a jack. Always use jack stands or ramps.

Check the Top 100 Questions thread linked in my sig. A diagram of the proper jack points is there.

 

Good idea. It may take a big hammer to remove rotors. I want the car on jack stands.

 

There's a problem with the jack points. I don't think a standard jack can get in there. It's way in there.

 

You have to drive the front of the car up on some 2x4s or small ramps so it's high enough to get a jack under there.
