Jacking

[Milton]

I am the new owner of a 1991 red-black-black . Planning on replacing the muffler and looking for safe jacking help . Would it be acceptable to use my modified floor jack to lift on the rear rocker panel points , one at time and place ramps under the rear wheels ?

I used my floor jack and jack stands when I replaced my exhaust. Worked fine. Just remember to block the front wheels before jacking up the rear.

Obviously use the recommended jacking points only.

P.S. A friend is very useful when swapping the exhaust. Same with an impact gun and extension to get in the tight spots.

I put a long 2x4 under the front wheels to get the jack under, then pretty much jack as usual. Maybe the back would work.

The jack I use is the torin low profile jack from amazon 45$ ( not recommended for anything heavy).

I prefer some lotion and a box of tissues.

I always use the middle jack point and use these:

Expensive - but nice and stable - no wiggle - did my headers the past winter under these.

I am lowered to NSX-R height and cut some 2x6 ramps. I have to drive all 4 wheels up on the ramps and then I can fit my Harbor Freight 3-ton jack under the main jacking point. I jack one side of the car at a time. For an exhaust swap, I go to about 4 teeth above the lowest jack stand setting.

When I jack up my girl friend I prefer to use the "Ether Bunny". I'm sure that DocJohn is familiar with that trick.
