I just need to get it up via the body jacking point on a stand and work beside it
not under it.
With my crook back I don't want to bugger around trying to get under it with a trolley jack under the cross member.
The rear is no problem because it is a beam axle.
I think my scissor jack with a lock nut will be okay.
My wife died in 2010.
I cant imagine a scissor jack unwinding, but I can imagine one collapsing.
