Lift and Support Rear of Vehicle

With the vehicle parked on a flat surface, engage the parking brake

Make sure the park light illuminates on the dashboard.

As an extra safety measure, block the wheel on the opposite side from where you're lifting the car

If removing the wheel, break the nuts before lifting the car with a breaker bar and 22mm or 7/8" socket.

If your car was equipped with a spare tire kit, you can use that wrench too.

When lifting the car, DO NOT use a jack on the pinch welds. Instead, use the plate on the frame rails as shown.

When lifting with a jack and supporting with a jackstand:

Place the jack here

Place the jack stand here

I like to place towels or something else soft between the jack / stands and the car to protect the paint

Lift the car with the jack until you have the wheel a few inches off the ground. Then insert the jack stand and lower the car onto it.

If removing the rear wheel, fully loosen the lugs and set the wheel aside
