Working under the car.

I have always found lifting and supporting the front to be a real pain. The last couple of times, I've jacked up under each sill and put an axle stand under the big bolts on the crossmember brace thing behind the main crossmember.
I found a slight variation on that today. If you lift one sill so that a front wheel is just off the ground, then you can (just) get the head of a big trolley jack (mine is 2. something tonne) under the main crossmember. That does make it easier to lift the front and place the axle stands.
I put a block of wood between the crossmember and the head of the jack. It also gives you the option of placing the axle stands under the sills, but I try to avoid the sills after slightly damaging one.
