StuDoc 72 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 You dont need to rent mate. Do you not have a car jack? Just jack it up and lie underneath.Its jus a couple of 10mm bolts that hold the cable in position. Then you remove a heatshield from behind the exhaust and unclip it. Its a doddle bud.I hadto undo my exhaust to move it but it wasnt a big deal. Took me an hour or something from start to finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Yes I have a jack and two axle stands. Should I jack it up from the side or from the rear for the easiest access? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 You can jack it up on the rear axle then put the 2 axle stands under the jacking points on the sills at either side at the rear. That way you have even space underneath and no jack to get in your way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
