Guys,

I'm borrowing a set of Axle Stands and a decent jack from a friend this weekend so I can swap my front/back tyres. I've never used Axle Stands before, how would I go about using these so I can swap the tyres over?

Cheers in advance,

AJ

Very Simple mate. Jack car up a little further inwards than usual, so you can slide the axel stand under, then let the car down slowly onto the stand. Then repeat on opposite side. Just be carefull when jacking the otherside up, and of course only do it on a level surface. Hope that helps mate.
