I want to put the Puma up on to four axle stands. Is it o.k. to put the stands under the axles? 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Yes, although I'm not sure I'd do both ends at once. It's one of those thing that would probably be ok, but has the potential to go horribly wrong. Darren

If possible, I also lay the wheels under the vehicle for some extra protection.

Just finished painting the chassis and nether regions of the Puma. Axle stands a great benefit. Jacking up the vehicle 4 times to fit the stands in place and remove four wheels is pretty draining stuff. Having finished the painting then having to fit four wheels then jack up the vehicle with the bottle jack to remove the stands really does take it out of you. Next purchase will be that trolley jack from Halfords mentioned on one of the threads here.
The 2008 Puma is up next but not till the trolley jack arrives! 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |
