where do i put axle stands on the rear of an sri? (PICS)

[jason1987]

i cant see where to put the axle stands on my sri, where do they go?

Put your axle stands under the bottom of where the coil spring sits.

Those brake discs need to be changed as you may have seen in the video that Steve posted.... push back the brake pads as far as they go, take out the pads, undo the brake disc holding screws and remove the discs....you may have to back off the handbrake shoe adjusters.

Mark the position of the handbrake shoe adjusters on the outside of the backplate to make it easier to locate them when the discs are on....don't forget to degrease the new discs before you fit them.

na its a halfords one, and in refrence to my other thread about the allen size on the top caliper bolt on the rears, i put a size 6 allen in and it seemed to fit, so does that mean its a size 6 i need or is it because its one size down from the 7 and the 7 will be a proper fit? just the caliper tool is £7 from halfords for a 7mm allen and dont wanna buy it if i need a 6, but everyones saying size 7
