excuse my ignorance but is it safe to put my scoob up on four axel stands so i can take all the wheels off? if it is ok where abouts on the axel is it best to place them? as far apart as possible to maintain good balance or is there a special part of the axel they are meant to go on?

cheers

I've been putting my axle stands on the jacking points front and rear - I also have some rubber cushioning between the stand and the jacking point to avoid damage.

This approach does mean that you cannot jack the car on the jacking point, so I use a trolley jack at the front on the towing eyes and at the rear on the diff in the centre.

There must be other ways but the underside of the Scube does not seem to offer a lot of options.

I place my front axle stands where the Roll bar attaches to the front cross member. Rear ones usually go on the jacking points at the rear of the car.

have just been to the shop and on the box it says you should never use more than one pair of car stands at a time!

Ows

i changed my gearbox and rear diff with the car on 4 axle stands, but i put i jack under the car when i was working on it, like if i was under the car at the rear i put a jack under the rear of the car just as an extra reasurance.

WRC teams use 4 stands, so if its good enough for them........

axle stands under the anti lift kit at the front.
I use the ladder reinforcement under the cills for the rear.
Trolley jack using joining piece at the crossmember at the front and the rear diff at the rear.
