this may sound a bit basic but i cant seem to find a good place to jack the car up from the rear with a floor jack. i need to put axle stands under it so i can work on the brakes safely, any advice? i already did the front and used the front crossmember
just a quick question

Floor jack on the differential case.

I jack it up from the pad under the rear door. Then I install a jackstand under a cross member as a backup.
Did my brake pads recently as well.:thumbsup:

How come you cant use the original jack that fits in the side hole where it should fit ,then do the brake change 1 side at a time with an old rim under there for a bit of a safety if the car should decide to slip down ,lol .
I would never lift my car under the diff even that i have seen some tyre guys do it on other cars ,they try'd it on mine but i told them not to do it ,the car has it's proper fitted lifting points in front under the doors ,there is a rubber under there just for that ,you should be able to see it if you look under the car ( underneat each door ,near the wheel arch ending ) if you not sure i will take some pictures for you of the where abouts they are .:thumbsup:
