Different way of working on the underside of your car

[glucklich21]

I would buy one just so I could scrub the living crap out of the underside. Not doing that before putting my cabrio back together has bugged me since day one.

There was a bolt- to- the hubs version posted over at the 2002faq that looked a LOT beefier
(and more useful) (and safer) than that...

Widowmaker, anyone?

Reminds me of these piles of crap.....

this is all I use to change tires

Eh diff fluid coming out the vent, same for tranny, possible engine oil leaking out of a breather.

I think this is exactly what would happen, would take an average-not-so-anal of a person a day or two to realize the leaks.

Removing or installing a tranny - you'd be fighting gravity in two directions.

thats exactly what i was thinking, yeah it may give you more room to work on the underside, but now you're not just pushing the part straight up, its gotta go forward and up. Not to mention the engine/tranny is now at a weird angle with the car instead of hanging as far away from it as possible.

god, the moment that one poor rear wheel, its gotta be doing something bad back there.

bottom line, jackstands look much safer and more useful.

That is not crap sir, that is a junkyard car moving tool. one of those on the Jersy barrier the cars sitting on and some wheels to throw under after it's lifted makes for easy pulling of engines out the bottom.


But I agree on the side of the road I use my real jack as I have had a car fall off the stocker before

That is one interesting design, however, you cannot efficiently work on both front and back at the same time. Not too big of a deal, but i can imagine cranking that thing once is gonna be tiresome. I'll wait to see some real reviews on it.

I'll stick with my jack stands.

How about battery acid leaking out of the battery?

No thanks.
