Is it possible to just put the rear end up on Jack stands. To start jacking from the front and then slip the stand under the back? Just the opposite of what you did jacking the rear up first? Thx

Hey! Oh would you just put the rear on jack stands for better access to the engine/gearbox? I am a bit skeptical of putting just one side of the car (front/rear) on jack stands, because it can result in a serious accident if anything goes wrong (e.g. you jerk the car and it rolls off the jack stands with you underneath). If the car is not secure on 4 jack stands, I wouldn't advise working underneath in any case. :/

@ oh good point. I’m gonna change my exhaust out. So more like a little more room to reach in from the sides to bet to the cat bolts and back. I think if I’m on a level surface & put blocks under front & back of front tires to ensure no forward or backward movement I should be ok. Thanks

Thank you so much for this video. I have a 996 turbo and was frustrated on how to jack this car and your video made everything simple and easy. Thank you.

Interestingly this is the best way I found to jack up my 911, it's for sure the best way.

Very good video, thank you for sharing. On a side note, do Porsche use a base coat clear coat for Guards Red on new 911's. How do you find the color to maintain, your car looks awesome but I know reds can tend to fade or go flat.
@WeAreShifted4 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I'm not sure, to be honest, would have to ask my detailer for his opinion on the clear coat. The color, even though is not metallic, looks crazy in real life, and because the car was not exposed to UV a lot, it's still in great shape. We've now put PPF on the front end, doors and roof and a ceramic coating on the rear end to protect it a bit.

Just curious, how tall are those jack stands at their lowest setting?

is that suspension point accessible with the bottom covers on?
@WeAreShifted3 жыл бұрын
I'll have to check on the 991 and 992 models, but I think the suspension point should be accessible since it's just under the engine. Might be different on 991/992 RS models with a solid underbody.

Great video... I wonder if you only jack one side of the car at a time to take one side wheels off, are the opposite side tyres ok ? Not too much load or compressed..
@WeAreShifted4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, it won't matter much for the suspension and the opposite side tyres. Remember, when driving fast, the car is subjected to immense forces! If you do that, just make sure you use at least two jack stands: lift at the rear jacking point, put a jack stand under the front jacking point and another at the rear suspension junction. That way, you and your car are protected if the jack fails. Good luck!

why not place your rear jack stand at the location you put your bottle jack? So: 1. Jack car up from rear jack point 2. Place jack stand at front, and rear jack stand where you put your bottle jack
@WeAreShifted2 жыл бұрын
Hey Brian! Good point, that should suffice as well! At the time, I didn't have a proper rubber pad to put on the jack stands to prevent damage to the rear cross member. Along with that, if a proper pad is not used, the car could slip off of the jack stand, that's why using the correct inserts for the jacking points is highly advisable and even though it takes a bit longer with the extra step. :)
