Backing Up Ramps ???
I can't get under my 81 coupe. I took the car out to wash it and when I went to put it back in the shed there was a BIG puddle of oil on the ground. its from the rear end so I think its from the pinion seal. Which I just had replaced less than 1000 miles ago. I want to try and back the car up the ramps, but I'v never done that and was wondering if its OK to do so. Thanks for any help.

I have done this many times and it works well. Just make sure the front spoiler doesn't get smushed! I use Rhino Ramps (black plastic with a gradual grade).

I can back my '77 up on regular ramps pretty easily, but I do have a smaller spoiler.
Like always, make sure the ramps won't slide.
Good Luck with the ramps & the seal (hopefully, it's something simple).
