Can somebody show (diagram?) where to position axle stands, please?

Was hoping for specific point on Superb 3?

[AGFalco]

Front or rear, and what are you going to do?

 

Thanks, AG Falco

Front. Oil/filter change.

2 very surprising points in this video!

 

1st point: Use an alloy wheel as a back-up????  This guy has really too much money! The large pieces of wood in the sealey guide is a much better idea!

 

2nd point: tightening the wheel screws in a row 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 is not the state of the art from a dully qualified mechanic. Rather use 1 / 3 / 5 / 2 / 4 for a better centering and to be sure the the wheel is correctly pressed against the brake disc.

+1

never to up the nuts in that sequence - 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 !!!

likewise when un-doing the nuts.

 

i always use the star-shape pattern, as u've pointed out.

Looks like the guy in the video has never actually done anything on a car save for changing the wheel.

 

When working on the suspension the last place you want the stand is under the suspension . . .

Not sure where is the safest point for axle stands, a lot of plastics underneath

[The1effect]

I am thinking about here 😒🤔

[JR RS]

@The1effect - i was wondering why the underbelly of ur car looked very different to mine, including the wheel-arch liner where it meets the underbelly.......then i noticed ur profile says u have a 2016 Octavia SE L.

 

sorry - i don't know where the axle point r on the mk3 Octavia.

u should ask the question in the mk3 Octavia forum.

 

this is how it looks, close-up, on the mk3 Superb......
