Jacking up a car from the front
If you’re looking to jack up a car from the front, you’ll need some jackstands and a wrench. Start by setting your jackstands in the desired position, then use the wrench to tighten the nuts on the jack. With the car jacked up, you can now remove the wheels.
Jacking up a car from the back
If you’re looking to jack up a car from the back, a simple and inexpensive approach is to use a hydraulic jack. Simply place the jack on the car’s axle, raise it up until the wheel is off the ground, and then lower it down again. This method is ideal for cars that are sitting in one spot or for cars that are relatively lightweight. If you’re working on a heavier car or if it’s wintertime and there’s snow on the ground, you’ll need to use a stronger jack.
