JACKING AND SUPPORTING 89 VETTE
I'm going to take my wheels off and get the rims repolished and clearcoated.
Any suggestions on jacking up and supporting the wheels to remove them?
Thanks

Make sure you jack at the approved jacking points. Theyre marked just behind the front wheels and just in front of the back wheels. Always have the roof panel installed and Ive heard some say to keep the doors closed too. Ive heard horror stories of the windshield cracking if theyre jacked with the top off. I use a heavy duty floorjack for mine with no problems.
