Axle stands
So I have done a search and found the threads about centre lift points etc but haven’t found what I’m looking for. I want to do a wheels off detail just one corner at a time so not putting the whole car on stands. So if I want to jack the car at the side lift point just doing one corner at a time where do I put the axle stand? Just need a reliable place to put the stand purley as backup to the jack which I’ll leave in place too, whilst I clean the arch and wheel and put it all back again. Thanks.

I do wheel and pad swaps by lifting the car only from the front jacking point. If you have a decent jack I would trust it enough to stick my head in the wheel well and give everything a wipe.
For extra safety just chuck a tire/wheel under the car. So if it does come down it lands on that and stops the brakes/suspension from touching the floor. BTW I never put my head anywhere it could get crushed by a failing jack.
