where do you jack up the front end? on the frame 1 side at a time? is there somewhere on the front end for a jack, or the axle? ---

i suggest not using the oil pan. If I remember correctly we would do one side at a time and then use jack stands. What are you trying to do… chances are there is an easier way. ---

Ive use the craddel sometimes. Most of the time I just lift it behind one of the front tires. ---

for changing the oil you can use the cradle… or pick a wheel and use one of the a-arms… like Jay said… I suggest picking a side… this way the jack isn’t under the middle of the car. you’d be surprised how many people use the pan… ---

jack it up in the center of the cradel. _**[pic](http://media.unycgp.com/2004/2004-7-11/trans_rebuild_014.jpg)**_ get the the oil filter but trunning the wheels to the right, and reach infront of teh tire.
