Caution: Ensure that the vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned. To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle on the opposite end from which the components are being removed.

Caution: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when major components are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed and strap the vehicle to the hoist.

The centerline of gravity on front-wheel drive vehicles is further forward than on rear-wheel drive vehicles. Therefore, whenever removing major components from the rear of a front-wheel drive vehicle, while supported on a hoist, it is mandatory to support the vehicle in a manner to prevent the possibility of a vehicle tipping forward.

Notice: Never use heat to loosen a tight wheel bolt or nut. This can shorten the life of wheel and damage wheel bearings.
