Jacking up a C5?

Hi,
I just bought a 2000 FRC and want to pull the wheels off one at a time to detail the wheels and paint brake calipers...
anyway.... because I didn't get a manual with the car I need to know, if there any tricks to jacking up the car? Any funky pins that need to go in the suspension so they don't fall apart etc?

Thanks, once I get a Service manual I won't be asking the most basic of questions.

Thanks,

Thomas

The Owner's Manual is available free at:

I purchased my Service Manuals from Fichtner Chevrolet, a Corvette Forum sponsor - good price.

The instructions in this post are excellent. I made the lifting pads, and find they distribute the weight very well.
