Title: front end jack points '72 super beetle
Post by: bugs2much on March 16, 2008, 02:50:55 pm
The bug runs and moves. Now I have to get it to stop. Brakes need to be checked out bled etc. I'd like to put the front end on jack stands but not sure where I can place my floor jack and stands safely. Oh it's a '72 super beetle. Any suggestions appreciated, (other than get a standard bug with great beam up front).

Floor jack in the middle of the front beam- jack stands can then be put on both sides next to the jack, on the front beam.

you can jack it up where the floor pans meet the frame head and put the stands under each corner post of the doors.

John he don't have a beam.

OH, I guess I can tear myself away from Oily Betty for one night. I will call out sick from band practice on the club meeting night.
