Does the car have to be level to check the Flex Plate? Meaning, can the front wheels be on Rhino ramps?

Being on ramps has no effect. However, you will also want to check the rear driveshaft clamp at the same time. I did this with all 4 wheels off the ground.

But NEW front and rear pinch bolts before starting. Just replace them, and follow the guidelines that Roger(928srus.com) gives you.

I read from the forum as well that the old front bolt would give me more torque since its stretched. It was a question on 62 ft/lbs vs 66 ft/lbs. I will order some from Roger and but the Ritech clamp on it for migration. Thanks guys
