: If the drive shaft(s) are to be disconnected, it will be necessary to
raise all four wheels off the ramp in order that the shaft(s) can be
rotated. If the wheel free facility is not to be used, raise the vehicle
off the ramp using suitable equipment. With the vehicle raised, position
axle stands in the positions shown for the front and rear support blocks -
see illustration in Jacking. With the axle stands positioned, release the
parking brake and select NEUTRAL 'N' in the transmission.

: Do not push the vehicle backwards and forwards along the ramp in order
to gain access to the drive shaft fixings.

| To enable the vehicle to be supported correctly on the wheel free longitudinals, it will be necessary to produce 2 off each of the support blocks to the dimensions given in the accompanying illustrations. The supporting part of each block must be manufactured from suitable hardwood or metal and the 'U' shaped base of each block must be manufactured from metal. Note that it is essential to ensure that the 'U' shaped base of each block is wide enough to fit over the wheel free longitudinals. |
