Short story
How do I use a trolley jack to lift my 2016 GLC 43 and then place an axle stand in place to rest my car for 3 days?
Long story
I scraped my alloy and I have booked my GLC 43 wheel in for repair. I don’t have a spare wheel - Tirefit (?) repair kit in the boot. So my idea was to remove the wheel and take it in to be repaired, using my partners car to transport it. Taking only 1 wheel in to be repaired meant it would be done quicker and my car wouldn’t be sat for 3 days taking up a parking space at the repairers.
It’s the front passenger side (UK RHD, on left side). I bought a 3 ton trolley Jack to lift the car. But I need to place an axle stand under the car to rest it for the 3 days. But how the heck do I use the trolley jack at the axle jack location to lift the car, but somehow replace the trolley jack with an axle stand? There are only the 4 locations under the car, at each wheel.
help please!
Car is booked in tomorrow morning at 9am GMT - in 21 hours time.
apparently I can’t leave the car sitting on the trolley jack for 3 days?
