Default How do you put your 997 on jack stands?

How do you guys put your 997S on 4 jack stands to remove all 4 wheels.

Need a little help.

Thanks for putting it together. Since I take the wheels, without the car attached, to the tire shop I'll be doing this in a few weeks when I install a new set of summer tires.

Because of my ceramics, I NEVER let a tire shop near my car. I have an extra sets of wheels just so that I can avoid dealing with a wheel/tire shop in a way that includes the car.

BTW, it is not shown in this thread but when mechanics lift up cars in shops they put front lift arms under base of front LCAs if I`m not mistaken. Not on stock jack`s points.

Never heard or seen this in a dealer. I went down and asked them before I used a shop lift on my car. Use the standard jacking points but I use a hockey puck to protect the car and add a little buffer.

You will find that many shops will actually damage the side panels on your 997 if they lift them from the jacks points without putting something in between. A full hockey puck will not fit in there for them. I cut a couple of pucks in half so that they were short enough to get in there, yet still give some cushion.
