4-3-2-1 LIFTOFF! ......... Uh, Houston we have a problem!

Its good that you keep safty first keeping your limbs and life is always the best choice. Still it should be doable with the correct equipment. But I never undertake such a hazardous job as that without at least someone that can go for help if something does go wrong.

Spindle lift should be a better soulution anyway at least then your ride quality should stay the same. I would say use extra jack stands and you should have ANYONE there, even if he or she cant help you do the work.

Be safe

There is an old warehouse around the corner form me that does that. If a bay is open it's free for you to use. If you want a bay with a hoist it's $10 a day and the owner will also rent tools and such if need be. The place is open 24hrs.

There used to be a place like that in London . . . Earl's Fix it Yourself Garage. They disappeared a while back, but I don't know why as I was not living in London at the time.

FYI



I redeemed myself with the 6" spindle lift. This was just a practice run.......

Wow ... I am beat from just reading that ... and I thought I had troubles with my lift? At least your experience does not include the a drop Lucky for me she dropped when I was wiggling her when I was NOT under her.
Hope you get it all done and well - you will pat yourself and it is totalllllly worth it!

Lucky for me she dropped when I was wiggling her (not) when I was NOT under her.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! You might want to revise that story before the police come a knockin'!

You know, if the van had fallen on my head I would not be in the situation I'm in now with the spindle lift. No brakes because someone sent me the wrong parts! No brakes, no transpo, no income.

Looks like I have it somewhat under control. Though if you were going to offer some advice on an elevator to assist getting into the van I'm all ears...
