Afternoon All,
I need to get one of the front wheels off my car and find that my Halfords 2T trolley jack won't fit under the jacking point.
What can anyone recommend?
Cheers
Duncan
You could always try the trick of driving onto a piece of board to gain you the extra ground height.
I have a Halfords low profile jack that just about goes under my 997 C4S.

I recently got one of these:
Liftmaster Low Profile 2 Ton Hydrualic Trolley Car Jack
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00521RGXG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_6Zjh3Gh4Juk9N
Cheap as chips and fits under my M030'd car. Quality seems really good for the money...
I've got an SGS low profile alloy jack that goes under mine at -30mm X74, had it a few years and its always getting used and is still in good condition.
I have an Arcan low profile. Very robust.
Can you get the jack under the rear jacking position? If so just jack the car up from there instead. Both wheels will lift off the floor.
+1 for the SGS jack ...I have a 2.5 ton version and it copes with my Cayenne and my Turbo so plenty lift height but also good clearance to place the jack in under the car to the jacking points .......
Good manoeuvrability with roller at front and castor wheels at the rear ......good control on the hydraulic release too......

I have a Clarke jack, the best buy from Auto Express Clarke Strong Arm 2.25 Tonne Low Profile Trolley Jack CTJ2250LP, it's fine for my M30 suspension 996.2 and good value. You get them from Machine Mart.
Looking at some turbos on Saturday, they can be seriously low!
