R50/53 Front end service mode without jack stands?
Front end service mode without jack stands?
Needed to do some work on my car and I was just wondering if I can get the car into service mode without using jack stands. I'd just prefer to not go under the car if I didn't need to. I watched some videos and it doesn't look bad but I haven't tried so I was wondering if anyone had input on it.
If you go and get some all-thread the same screw size as the bolts you can just slide out the front end and it rests there. Without removing the coolant lines you can get up to 6 inches. With coolant lines removed you can get as much space as you have rod. I have 1 foot rods with bolts and washers on the end to prevent the front end from coming off of the all thread.
