Lift Points on Accord ?
I have read through the manual and found the lift points.. however
what I want to do is put the car on "blocks" for a while... how do I lift on the right points and still put blocking under them to support the car? Is there a location on the "frame" to place the jack stands and/or blocaks? any suggestions? Please reply in the group |

I just place the jack a little off the recommended jack points, then slip the
jackstands in at the recommended jack points. <me@yahoo.net> wrote > I have read through the manual and found the lift points.. however > what I want to do is put the car on "blocks" for a while... how do I > lift on the right points and still put blocking under them to support > the car?

Re: Lift Points on Accord ?
The best method is to use a hydraulic floor jack to lift the car from the
front center lift point, then place jack stands under the car along a good piece of frame. Don't use a section of from in the middle of the side to try and hold the front and rear wheels off the ground at the same time from one jack. This will damage the frame. Use a section of frame near the wheel only, preferably near a joint where more frame is meeting it. I generally place the jack stand under a portion of the frame, which is a little farther under the car from the lift point. The lift point is designated as it is because the supplied lifting mechanism fits there. I wouldn't place my hydraulic lift there though, as the interface is kind of set up for the cars jack. If you don't have a hydraulic jack and you're using the supplied crank style jack, just lift it up at the lift point and place a jack stand farther underneath, under the frame. I use the portion of frame that's fairly close to the front wheel where another piece of frame is crossing. Hard to describe in words, but its a fairly robust section of frame. <me@yahoo.net> wrote in message news:7mged0pro02ddg5v2jfrn3s31sgph2qu2v@4ax.com... > I have read through the manual and found the lift points.. however > what I want to do is put the car on "blocks" for a while... how do I > lift on the right points and still put blocking under them to support > the car?
