car jack

[ukwill]

can anyone point me in the direction of a trolley jack that can get under a 996TT. sometimes I come over all retentive and want to take the wheels off when cleaning.

I purchased one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ALUMINIUM-LOW-PROFILE-RACING...

Goes under the GT2 with ease , it comes with a heavy duty rubber pad on the jacking point to prevent any damage to the car jacking point. Very well made, thoroughly recommended.

It's a sorry state of affairs when I read the title and think the worst

UKwill, I often contemplate this myself. Maybe my silly question, but do you use a machine to get wheel bolts back on or just the manual bolt turner?

Be careful with the load rating of these "race-car" jacks..

3,000lbs = 1,360kgs and I would have thought a 996TT was somehwhat more than that!

Although saying that....you are not lifting the whole car clean off the ground, so it would probably be OK.

1.25tonne is more than enough for each corner of the Pork.

If I had air tools I'd use 'em Alas, it's the old manual method for me I'm afraid.
