Mike, thanks for a timely reminder on safety issues. I would just add that I always carry pieces of plywood, at least one inch thick to put under my bottle jack or axle stands in case not on concrete or similar hard surface. Axle stands will soon bury themselves in tarmac, especially in warm weather.

Regards, Richard VOC 3801.
