My friend and I are planning on putting new rotors and pads on my c5 and painting the calipers in a few months. I found what looks like a good jacking method, but as I've never done this before I was just wondering if a few people would back up what the article I read said or suggest a better way to do it.
They said to:
-drive the car onto 2x4s
-loosen lugs
-jack the front at the aluminum cross members using a 2x4 to cushion the metal from the jack
-insert jack stands on both sides of the 2x4
-jack the rear in the same fashion
I like this method because it isn't going to put any twisting forces on the frame. and the jack stands are closer to the front and rear of the car, which seems more stable than the jack points under the rockers.
Thanks for any suggestions
