Tyre Rotation and jacking points

[kevin ellard]

My FL has done 20,000 miles and the fronts look a little worn at the edges bus still have lots of like left in them. The rears look almost new. So, I'm thinking of swapping fronts to backs. I have a small trolley jack and some axle stands. Is there anything I should be especially wary of if I do it myself? There is no mention of jacking points in the user manual.

If it's similar, to my MG4, there are little triangles on the sill. So the jack goes in line with them. On the seam, like this.

I've sent for these for my trolley jack. Should be very good.

Jack it up very slowly, only as much as you need to take the wheel off. Then lower it very slowly. That's what I'm gonna do. Don't forget mine's an MG4, but should be very similar. Good luck.

Thanks, I'll look for the marker. I already have something similar for my jack.

Indeed there were the little triangles and all went well. The only embarrassment was that I didn't notice that there are plastic bolt covers on the wheel bolts that need pulling off with a pair of needle nose pliers before removing the bolts - (should have gone to specsavers)
