And dont say "on the axle"!
Where is the best place to put the axle stands on the front of a 4x4 saff?

 

on the chassis legs near the front.

just by the anti roll bar mounts.

 

Cheers dave

 

I get scared using axle stands!!
I bought a RAILWAY SLEEPER and got me tree surgeon mate to cut it up into square blocks for me.
So solid now on these, and cheaper than axle stands!!
I don't have a concern about the eight on them now, loads of trains are over 100tons!!
tabetha

 

or on the actual anti roll bar mounts themselves

you can also put them on the tca's where they meet with the crossmember, but that's only to move the stands from one place to another

ford do tel you not to put them on the crossmember though

 

dojj

no good if you need to take all that off though.

 

under the fuel tank

 

They have gone on the chassis legs!
Im doing a freshen up/ resto on it.
Going to have some great fun underneath it in the small cold garage!

 

let me find the pic i've got of a sierra balacing on a single rear shock under the front crossmember

 

thats one of th epistons i melted but i can't find this sierra on a shock

i'll keep looking

 

 

got it

 

added to say i left the stands under the abr mounts until i had removed all the suspensin and undone all the stuff i wanted to undo
i then moved them to the chassis legs once i'd undone the arb mounts

but i also put a plank of wood between the stands and the chassis legs because they can be just a little slipperly

also added to say that i've got 4 stands so i used 2 either side, you can never be too carefull

 

Next question: how do the abs sensors come out of the hubs?

 

take the bolt out,and wd40 them, they should pull out,maybe twist them slightly,but take it easy not to fook them up and leave half in the hub,if you do they are not that much to buy anyway.

 

with as much difficulty as possible

you need to be able to turn them but apply as even amount of pressure and you can as too much will snap the plastic

you should be able to get a small screwdriver underneath the plastic and use it as a lever to just break the seal

but as said, pour loads ond loads of wd40 down the sides to get it shifted, but don't drown it as ultimatly this may mean that you'll drown the grease that's in the bearings as well as the abs flywheel is part of the bearing kit
