Hey guys!
Yes I have searched and searched.
Need to know where is safe to jack up an integra so I can take all four wheels off.
I herd jacking from the chassis is bad, also read from the tow hook at the back isnt the best idea.
Where is the actual safest part. I read jacking from the ''4 side points'' (from an EK user manual), but where exactly :confused:

cheers

Hoist not an option dude I want to take the wheels off to paint them so I wouldn't take it to a mechanics hoist and leave the car with no wheels.

Yeh ill do it from tow hook on back,
what about the front, where exactly??

There is a jack point on the front of the DA9, for the rear, you use the tow point right below the number plate.

Jack the front first and let it sit on jack stands then you jack the rear. Make sure the car is sitting on flat ground.

its the cross member that runs from front to back underneath the engine.


just do two wheels at a time...

jacking up -
run your hand under the front bumper area, probably around 30-40cm in and youll feel a metal peice sticking o ut somewhere of the plastic
thats the jacking point

as for the back, i dont know about a DA9 but id suggest jack betwee the 2 wheels, the actual chasis.
obviously do 1 side at a time with jack stands there after!
remember to put the jack stands slightly forward cause the car, when u loewr it will move sligghtly forward!
