Re: Safety

["lumina333" <lumina3@xxxx>]

Whoa, whoa, whoa folks....I didn't mean to imply that I was UNSAFELY 
crawling underneath the car. I bought 4 safety jacks & some plywood 
before I even had the car in my possession. I had a safety jack under 
the front frame bar and the hydaulic jack under the side of the car, 
both on plywood. It is just scary for me to go under a car - I have 
only done it a couple of times. Before I went underneath it, I pushed 
on the side of the car to see how stable it was sitting on the stand 
and jack. It didn't move, so I crept underneath, unbolted the starter 
and got the heck out from under there. Safety MUST ALWAYS be #1 when 
doing anything, no matter how many times you have done it before. 
Thanks for the reminder. -Lu-

a sound investment. Also if you are using them on the ground, put 
them ontop od a piece of plywood so they don't sink into the ground.( 
although up here its solid as concrete right now) I leave the jack 
inplace too.
