Depends if you're using a trolley jack or not. If you are using the OE supplied instead then you'd be jacking up on the seals, which you can then place you're axel stands as close too as possible. Could be wrong though.

It'll be trolley jack as normal and have due to past experience don't really trust the original jacking points on the car as they tend to get damaged.

Might have to use a block of wood with axle stands on each side.

All done now. :wink:
