How to lift 2009 suzukis50 for storage

To lift a 2009 Suzuki S50 for storage, you can use a motorcycle jack or a center stand. Here are the steps to use a motorcycle jack:

Place the motorcycle on a flat surface and ensure that it is in neutral gear.
Position the jack under the frame of the motorcycle and ensure that it is centered.
Slowly pump the jack until the motorcycle is lifted off the ground.
Place blocks under the frame to support the weight of the motorcycle.
Lower the jack until the motorcycle rests on the blocks.
If you have a center stand, you can use it to lift your motorcycle as follows:

Place your motorcycle on a flat surface and ensure that it is in neutral gear.
Locate the center stand and ensure that it is in good condition.
Stand on the left side of your motorcycle and grasp the handlebars with both hands.
Use your right foot to push down on the center stand until it touches the ground.
Apply pressure to the center stand with your right foot while pulling back on the handlebars with both hands.
The motorcycle should lift up onto its center stand.

Put jack stands uder a 2001 Lincoln LS

place the trolley jack under the front cross member . (The big bit that connects the side frames under the sump). Lift as high as possible and place the jack stands under the chassis ( moulded rails ) where the sub-frame meets . Then place the trolley jack under the rear diff and lift as high as possible Place the jack stands under the chassis at the front of the springs or track rods By using these positions you will have the cabin securely jacked up with all the wheels free to remove or to work on.

How do i replace leaf springs on a dump truck

The best way is to jack up the truck frame (not the axle) high enough to pull the tires off. Put the frame on stands and secure it. Pull the tire/wheels off the side you want to replace the springs on, and then put a jack under the axle to support it once you pull the springs out. The easy way is to just cut all the U bolts with a torch. But, if you need to reuse them, heat the nuts to red hot, throw water on them to cool them off, spray everything down good with wd40 and remove them with a air impact wrench. Once your springs are free from the axle, You may need a bottle jack to jack down the axle to make room to pull them out. Set the new springs in place, remove the bottle jack and jack up on the axle to jack it back into place, putting some pressure on the spring and bolt it all back in place. Hope this helps Fix Ya up.

I'm changing the stabilizer bar and link bushings. The manual says to raise and support the vehicle, but does not say where to support the vecle at...the frame or the axle. Thanks for the help

You should support the vehicle from the frame. The most common support areas are just behind the front tires on the frame just below the forward most part of the front doors. In the rear just in front of the rear tires below the rear most part of the rear doors.
If you are just lifting the front of the jeep be sure to place blocks behind the rear tires to keep the jeep from rolling off of the jack stands and crushing you.
Remember to be careful and use caution when working under a vehicle.

Good Luck

Steps to rear brake replacment

  1. Park the Dodge on a flat, level surface and engage the parking brake. Put two wedges of wood in front of your front wheels and two behind them.
  2. Put the jack under the back frame of the car and lift it up until the wheels are off the ground. Slide the two jack stands underneath the car right under the axles, one next to each wheel. Use the jack to lower the car onto the two jack stands.
  3. Loosen the lug nuts with the lug nut wrench, and remove the lug nuts and the two back wheels.
  4. Look for two bolts that are attached to the caliper. Remove them with the adjustable wrench. Lift up the caliper and set it on the axle, taking care not to let it fall and break.
  5. Compress the brake pads which, in turn, will compress the underlying piston. If they won't budge, use a C-clamp to compress them.
  6. Open the spring clips by prying with a screwdriver and take off the pads. And if the pads are stuck you can pry them off with the screwdriver as well.
  7. Rub a little bit of silicone grease onto the back of each new pad and put the pads in the correct position. Put the spring clips back in place to hold the pads in place.
  8. Put the caliper back in place and tighten the bolts.
  9. Reinstall the wheel and tighten the lug nuts. Lift up the car a little with the jack and remove the jack stands. Lower the Dodge all the way to the ground. Retighten the lug nuts.
  10. Lift up the hood and look for the master cylinder's brake fluid container on the driver's side of the car, closest to the driver. Top off the brake fluid, if needed.
You will need the following
  • 4 wood wedges
  • Lug wrench
  • Floor jack
  • 2 jack stands
  • Adjustable wrench
  • C-clamp (optional)
  • Flathead screwdriver
  • New brake pads
  • Silicone grease

Jacking points on all Jeep vehicles

Your Jeep was supplied with a jack for emergency road repairs. This jack is fine for changing a flat tire or other short-term procedures not requiring you to go beneath the vehicle. Do not attempt to use the jack on any portions of the vehicle other than specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Always block the diagonally opposite wheel when using a jack.

Placing a floor jack under the rear frame rail at the leaf spring shackle. It may be necessary to place a block of wood between the frame rail and the jack

Supporting the front of the vehicle with jack stands placed under each frame rail


A more convenient way of jacking is the use of a garage or floor jack. You may use the floor jack at the specified points in following the illustrations.

Never place the jack under the radiator, engine or transmission components. Severe and expensive damage will result when the jack is raised. Additionally, never jack under the floorpan or bodywork; the metal will deform

How to remove old shackles and install new lift shackles in my drive way on a 2005 ford ranger 4x4

You need two jacks and jack stands (for safety while you are working under the truck)--one jack to lift the truck frame and the other to lift the axle to take the load off of the spring. Do only one side at a time.

Jacking point for 1990 Toy Camry center of front.

Probably best to do one side at a time, there is a frame underneath the passenger and drivers sides that you can jack up on, or you can jack up on the pinchweld located behind the tires, though probably best to go on the frame.
Then use jackstands, and should work good. or can just do one side at a time.
