Hello all
I'm a new to this and a new corvette owner.
I know this has been talked to death but I haven't heard a definitive answer from other threads!
Is it OK to jack up the car from one jack point on the rail to remove one wheel at a time to clean?
Thanks

I read that helpful, but I must have missed something. Does it actually say you can jack up one wheel at a time? Sorry if I'm being thick. Starting to think I need a Corvette For Dummies lol.:o

You can do one at a time using a jacking puck.

You can raise both wheels from the front puck location.

Using the jacking puck will help prevent any damage to the rocker panel by the jack lift pad.
