LndRckt	Anybody with a service manual that can give me the recommended way to lift the Prowler at home for wheel removal (need to get the glue out on the left front to install the mud flap)? I know there are pads on each side near the doors, but have heard that lifting only 1 side could possibly twist the frame. Any truth to that rumor? Thanks. ------------------ Stoney Dayton, OH
Tony Goertz	To lift just each front wheel, one at a time, use the "pads" located on the frame just inside the body engine side cover. It is about half way between the front and the door post. I have also several times and on different vehicles lifted on the frame near the door post. I have found this to be the balance point of the car. I have lifted up the complete side of the car this way. Have not experienced any problems. To lift up just the rear, use the "frame corner" just infront of the back wheels. I always use a piece of 2x4 between the frame and jack to protect the frame. [This message has been edited by Tony Goertz (edited 07-20-2000).]
Harry Findley	LndRckt; Per D/C, and my local Dealer of whom I posed the same question, I was told to always lift 1) the entire car using the appropiate lifting points. 2) lift the front using the lift points on each side of the frame or under the cross member under the motor. 3)lift the rear end using the appropiate lift points just in front of the rear wheels. I was advised not to lift one side at a time nor just one wheel at a time. Personally, I don't see where it would be any worse to lift one side as opposed to lifting either the front half or the rear half at a time. The stress factor I think would be less lifting one side at a time.
