Another jacking question

[Joe B]

Ian c, not much help there. It's the best shop in town; I want to do it myself! Gforrest, thanks for understanding and trying to help, but I was asking specifically about the points from the Pelican Parts 101 Boxster Projects book (and their Technical Articles on the web). Deserion, hmm, that might work, although I'm not quite sure what "rear crossmember" you mean, or where to place the 2X8s.

Anyone else ?

Well I have no experience of using the factory jack , in fact I don't think I've ever used one , but the theory should work as long as you take your time .

Have you got the "wheel install" tool in your car tool kit ?
I have tried using two at a time when I was changing fronts on my own , and it was a right pain , but maybe if you stood over them an forced the issue the shop would use them .
I also suggest wrapping your 19mm socket in duct tape to avoid scratches to the wheel ( kinda like the opposite to the old fuchs socket) .
Once they know you are concerned and serious , they'll probably just play along .
And call you "that wierd Porsche guy" !!
