    Hi guys, I’m doing my rear brakes and questioning where to jack up the back end. It seems the most likely spot is the axle, but that is now being taken up by the rear sway bar. Any advice?

    Thanks @ardnutoz

    I jacked up under back door and put a jack stand under. That got the back end up enough to pull the jack and put it under the struts! Damn Little Rock’s

    That's what I do, jack it up from the pumpkin and slip stands under the axle on each side.

    Is it ok to grease the caliper piston and the rubber gasket? I put grease between the pad and the reusable metal plate, but I also greased the caliper piston. Wipe it off or leave it? o_O
