I've always put the jack under the car first, so it is tight up against the jacking points and then cracked the bolts loose. Maybe I'm a little bit over careful :laugh: But better safe than sorry :happy2:

Does anyone ever use a v small amount of copper grease on the bolts and the mating faces of the alloy and hub?

I would also be v grateful if someone could post a couple of pic of a car on axel stands/trolley jack.

One day I'll get a 4 post lift.

Yes i put to much on with the spray stuff and got hung drawn and quartered by Teutonic Tamer.  :grin:

The jacking points are discussed in this thread, we have a similar thread on here but i cant find it.

Sorry, I help it.  :laugh:  not that I'm any better... a few months ago I slightly damaged a bit of the underbody plastic lining trying to jack the car up - it was in completely the wrong place  :signIWS:  The fact that it was snowing at the time and night time didn't really excuse it as I knew exactly where I was placing it.  I got terrified after that and left it alone.  The next time I attempted it was when I did the S3 I/C job  :rolleye:
