I like to regulary take the wheels of my car (monthly) to give them a good clean on the inside and apply wheel sealant / wax.

I use the jack that somes with the car and it has a plastic "nub" that fits into a recess under the skirt at each corner of the car. I have a couple of good quality, large workshop trolley jacks that I would like to use instad becuase they are safer, more steady and also faster. I would also like to lift one end (or side) of the car rather than doing 1 wheel at a time. I had a look under the car and there doesn't seem to be very many points to jack from. Everything looks like it's got a plastic cover on it which will disort or break if I jack there.

Does anyone know if there are jacking points other that the little recesses in each corner. Obviously my trolley jacks have a flat round top on it rather than the "nub" found on the included jack.

Thanks in advance.

 

Ask khooger. He changes his "shoes" every other day. Thats just he rolls.

Here is a recent photo of his test fitting and the link to his thread: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry947957

 

try using your hand to jack, per your title

 

You might want to get an adapter for the jack...

Take a look at the following thread:

Wish I had one of those.

 

The jack or the adapter?

 

Thanks Rudy! These look great. I can actually make one of these, so this will be a good project for me on the weekend. I think I will make the base plate from alluminium and the square bit from solid nylon so it won't scratch or damage the skirt if it gets knocked on it.

 

Try this:

ECS Tuning Jack Pad Adapters

I haven't used the adapter myself, but it looks like it should do the trick.

 

That's perfect...

 

or you could just get a small piece of wood and place it on the jack and use the regular jack points that you would use with the factory jack. Ive done this 4 or 5 times and nothing has ever broken or messed anything up. It fast, easy, and doesnt cost anything.
