Thanks - I'll take a look at the WSM and/or Parts Diagram to make sure
I'm familiar with the LCA's in the rear. Are you suggesting I use the
outer LCA mounting point? IIRC that's kind of rounded, isn't it?
I am thinking about raising the right rear with the floor jack (it's in
good condition, only about a year old) and remove the RR wheel so I can
show my wife where to put the Jack Stands.
I know not to work on a car that is raised on a jack, but I will put the
removed wheel/tire on the ground under the chassis to minimize how far
the car could go if the worst case happens. And it will only be like
that until I can spot the Jack Stand position. Should be OK. I tend to
err on the side of caution.
Thanks for the suggestion....

Hmm, those pads are where I usually put my floor jack. Are you suggesting I
use the factory jack which will leave a place to put the jack stands?
Don't have enough wood blocks to do as you do, but I usually put the tire/wheel
under the car in the hopes I wouldn't get squished less that 8" - my estimate
of the width of tire and wheel I will put under the frame. ;-)
Thx,

There should be some pads or points right under the jack holes in front of the
rear wheels, put your stands under there. I have a bunch of blg wood blocks
too to stack under the frame which gives me a good feeling.

Hi ya'll,
I hope to start removing the rear wheel bearing carrier soon now that the
weather is changing for the better. I don't do well in 85F+ temps so next
weeks highs that are forecast in the 60s and 70s are getting me motivated to
start this job.
I know where the jack goes but it's been a while since I had to put jack stands
under the rear of my 91 300D. Even when I could lay on my back and look for a good
place to put the stands I recall having trouble deciding on the best location.
Bearing in mind I'll be removing the hub & carrier, where should I try to put
the jack stand? (I will have to explain your answer to my wife who will lay on the
driveway) I may move the MGB to the drive so we can work on the 300D in the
garage, will decide soon.
;-) she's a keeper!
Right now, I only plan to jack up and use a stand under the right rear.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
LarryT
