To lift the car, use a Hydraulic Jack. Keeping a car propped up for long periods may cause harm to the car. For safety, use Jacks stands so the car will not fall while you work.

    • Identify the jack point, located directly underneath your car, in the center portion between the front two wheels.

    • Place the Hydraulic Jack beneath the jack point.

    • Pump the lever on the Hydraulic Jack, up and down, until the jack makes contact with the jack point. (Adjust the placement if necessary).

    • Continue pumping the lever until the wheels are two inches off the ground.

    • Identify the jack points located behind each front tire. Place a Jack Stand underneath both jack points.

    • Clear the area underneath the car of people or debris. Make sure the jack stands are properly supporting the car.

    • Slowly rotate the Hydraulic Jack counter-clockwise to lower it. (Half a turn should be enough.)

    • After fully lowering the Hydraulic Jack, remove it from underneath your car.

Conclusion

To remove jack stands, follow guide in reverse order, remembering that lowering and raising the Pneumatic Jack require different actions.
