Default Lifting C06

Wanted to pull tires off one by one to clean rotors and brake dust as well as putting fender guards on while tire was off. Read manual and saw two point lift locations. Can anyone give me some ideas and what to use to lift car.
Thank you

Just use the outer perimeter rail sites... with a puck or a small block of wood so as to not damage the body panel in the area of the perimeter rail lift site

You can lift at the black locations, use something to protect rocker panels.

pardon me in advance. If one was to use the red points. is it a two point lift? Also I assume the perimemter is a single point lift. I have lift pucks.
Thanks for patience.

I believe you can lift separately on each of the 4 red dots (ie do one wheel at a time) - somebody here confirm?

If you search the forum you will find the solution, it has been discussed many times. There is a unit you can buy that fits a low profile jack that lifts both points from the back or front. I made one out of wood and it works fine. I drive the front onto ramps (also wood, that I made), jack the back and put blocks under the back tires. The back needs to be an inch or so higher to allow the oil to drain if you're changing the oil.

For what you are doing the perimeter rail sites are just fine
