How the hell do you get a G20 up on 4 x axle stands?

johnboysafc · 09-21-2021, 02:11 AM

149 x views to date and no one can answer? Im not sure its possible or wouldnt ask. But would like to be able to take all 4 x wheels off at the same time, is this possible on your drive or does it need a lift?

You'd need a very low-profile trolley jack to get under the front but there's no reason you shouldn't be able to raise the back on the diff housing and place stands on the jacking points and then raise the front on the front subframe crossmember.

Cheers
But i thought there was no way of single/central lift point at the front on the G20, thats why ive been stumped

I must admit I haven't done it but there is a sub-frame so no reason you can't use that. It might be a right PITA though if it's covered by a shield or undertray.

Why don’t you use ramps or planks (stacked single, double etc), then you’ll get a clearer view of where to put final jack adjustment to get stands in

Do you have 2 jacks and a spare pair of hands? Up at the front on both sides, stands in. Repeat at the rear?

How? If you use the jacking point to jack the side up, where do you place the axle stand? The axle stand has to go on the jacking point. A central lift of the front / rear is the only way.

that's my thinking, unless you centrally lift the rear say and then use 2 x Jack's at front and leave them under.? But that's risky
