I am ready to do a rear brake job on my 2011 Clubman. I know about the jacking points, but I'm struggling with where to place jackstands. If I use jack points to jack up car with my bottle jack, there's no room for jackstands. Got any ideas? I'm doing this in my driveway.

Not sure about the Clubman but for the Hardtop using a jack on the front jack point raises the rear enough to get a jack stand under it. With the Clubman, the balance point may be different.

 

Yea you can jack the front to raise the rear, will not be much more on the clubman.

The wood method liked above will work also. Be careful when jacking up and make sure you are on a level surface. If you need jack supplies or ramps , we have them here:

That floor jack and those jackstands are gorgeous. I believe I have jackstand envy. Is that even a thing?

 

Don't worry about it. I picked mine up at a garage sale for 10 bucks and I bet they looked like those decades ago.

 

Thanks , they do look nice and match.
