Never jacked the back up to rest on axle stands but i need to now so where will i place the axle stands and jack up to a bigger height 





Or here 





Can it be jacked up on the sill where windy jack goes , using a trolley jack 

Then where to put axle stand

Second one

Aim the front edge of the jack head at the centre bolt. Should then be room to place the axle stand under the front of the triangular plate...

Initially place the axle stand at its lowest setting on both sides, then jack it upti working height. That way you minimise the chances of the axle stands shifting. Drop it back down in reverse

Think i got it  Thanks Al . So would i be putting the trolley jack in from the back of the car onto that bolt then the axle stand on the same plate as bolt ? Car is on ramps atm but i want to jack up a bit more to get wheels off

In from the side, off the ramps first

Putting the rear on stands is a right PITA on the Omega, problem is the big jack I have gets in the way of where the stands need to be. Combination of big stand and big jack 

In second of your pictures EMD i use if dropping suspension, so changing springs ect.

For wheel changes I do just chuck them under the first one

Yes it does look awkward tunnie having never jacked under there before , cant remember where not to jack so as to cause damage

Are you saying i should take the car off the ramps before jacking Al ? I was just going to jack up an inch then put the stands under at the height its at

You won't have room to... Jack needs to come from the side

Ive got it up on the ramps to have a good look underneath at everything , not looking too bad so far .. ill spray the linkage and bits and bobs beforehand .
