Changing a back box on a Matiz - utterly stupid design means I had to lift the car to the full 520mm reach of my jack which none of my stands could match - bit of a hairy moment of prayer and lots of spare wheels wedged in places to try and prevent the car falling on me.

Have only removed it so the same will need to happen again when the new part arrives..... Where can I buy axle stands that will support 520mm+ height? Any recommendations?

check out this company http://www.sgs-engineering.com/hydraulic-jacks/axl... they might have something suitable
Thanks - looks like they do have a set but I've gone off SGS after problems with my trolley jack were met with promises of seals that never materialised.

Those or the ebay ones will do the job though and hopefully reduce my chance of death by Daewoo hehethumbup
