Hi folks,
I am about to buy new tyres and want to be sure the chaps at the tyre depot don't dent my car by placing the trolley jacks in the wrong place. Previous car handbooks have shown the correct place for trolley jacking but I can't find any reference to them in the Accord book.
I see the points for the supplied jack have locating "blades" which look as if they could bend if a trolley jack was used under them. I have experienced damage caused to my wife's Volvo a few years ago when a jack was put in the wrong place. The damage was found by the MOT tester and he pointed out the bent box section. " He should have his hands cut off", he remarked. Another MOT chap told me he was just in time to stop a tyre fitter jacking his Jaguar in the middle of the floor section under the seat!
Anyone know if it is safe to trolley jack the car under the "blades" mentioned above?
Many thanks,
T.
