Need Help!! Where to put jack C5 Vette

[VanFaasenC]

I am trying to do brakes on my fathers C5 vette. Where is the jacking point?

Did you look at the owners manual?

 

[VanFaasenC]

He doesn't have one. LOL

There really isn't a normal jacking point. If you look under the car you will see 4 cutouts (1 on each corner) behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels that have a hole in them. You are supossed to use a jacking puck and a lift, but I've lifted mine one wheel at a time by these points. Hope this helps a little.

Its kind of a real pain the the ass to get the whole thing in the air without a lift. I usually just lift each side, front or rear. My jack isn't really low profile so I have to drive on 2x4's first. You will see the solid points to lift from when you crawl under.
If the car isn't lowered it will be easier. You might not have to use 2x4's if the jack is low enough profile.

Good luck. Getting the car in the air will be the hardest part of doing the brake job!:badass:
