Default Re: How do I jack up my ZR-1?

Do you want to lift the front or just the drivers side?
I just changed out a slave cylinder with the front raised.
Jack the front sides one at a time. Lift each side far enough to sit your tires back down on blocks about 4" thick. I use 2 2X12's stacked on each side.
With the tires sitting on the blocks you can get a low profile floor jack under the front cross member to raise high enough to get it on the stands. Be sure and use something to spread the load on the floor jack across the cross member. 2X4 or 2X6 about a foot long.
I put the stands just inboard where the frame starts turning.
Be sure & use a hockey puck or similar if you are lifting the sides with a floor jack. Also, be aware of brake & fuel lines when jacking.
Here's a pic of the area of where the slave cylinder is located. You can see about where I have the stands on the side of the pic.
Hope this helps.
