Need Help with Jacking
Ok I'm about to send my pcm off to ECS to get tuned. but I need to remove the pax side tire to get to it. I'm new to vette's only had mine for 2 months, and I have heard some horror storys about jacking these cars up wrong i.e warped frames,broken fiber glass,ect. What I need to know is where do I need to jack, to remove the pax side front tire. should I jack the whole front end up or just the one side.
Thanks David

You need some jack pucks 
I friend made mine out of a hockey puck and a eye bolt but you can also buy them.
If you look under the side of your car you will see a spot twards the front of the door and the back of the door to put them.
Here is a set you can buy from one of our trusted vendors on the forum

This is really the only good safe way to do it.

I find it very easy to jack up the whole front end - just roll the floor jack underneath and jack away. You'll see the cross member to jack from. Just place a piece of wood or plastic on the cradle so it doesn't mar the surface it would come in contact with.
The same holds true for the rear.
