It's really a pretty simple and easy task, but as always, pics and directions are much appreciated for those digging in for the first time.

On, and FWIW, you can say draincock...just type it as one word.




There were no censors where I first posted this thread! Good call, I changed them all.

Let the Wesley Snipes jokes roll!

You're right. However, I've done it so many times that I know to pay attention to the front stands while raising the rear. Plus my board are indented with slots for the stands so that I don't have to worry about that. I also never raise the car at extreme angles for your exact reason.

Sounds like you speak from experience?
