Embarrassing that I should have to ask such basic questions at my age, but… it’s been a long time since I did this sort of thing.

So… I want to swap my front wheels, because (as with every car I’ve owned, I think) the outer edge of the n/s tyre is wearing.

But I’m not sure how to jack the front up. I have a trolley jack to get it up, and axle stands to rest it on while I do the job, but not sure whereabouts under the car to put them. Obviously I need both wheels off the ground at the same time.

Thanks all
