Not a problem, what you cannot see properly at the top right with the wood topping is the heavy due axle stands which are taking the full weight of the car. I leave the jack in place as insurance.
I have been working on cars since I was 14, safety first is always my top priority and never to rush things.

The Cayenne is a terrific vehicle to service. The frame is so rigid that the entire front may be lifted from one of the side rails. Then the vehicle is lowered onto the jack stands on both sides.
Yes, there are some idiots who are oblivious to the fact that a vehicle should not be serviced when supported only by a jack.

And they are VERY handy, especially with a Cayenne wheel and tire that seems to weigh about 300 lbs... can't remember where I got mine- have sets for Porsche and VW-Audi products. Wouldn't trust the plastic ones that come with some cars...

A second guide bolt, part number 999-571-074-30, for about $10, also helps with the wheel replacement.
