Bottom photo shop help lift & oil change

tpraceman · Apr 23, 2009

Ok now we have a photo someone should photo shop the following
Lifting points front and rear
Bolts highlighted that need to be removed for oil change

Someone who knows how to do this please help us poor computer dummies.

YELLOW CIRCLES ARE LIFTING POINTS!
GREEN DOTS ARE MOST OF THE SCREWS THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED TO LOWER THE REAR PANS (HARD TO SEE THEM ALL IN THE PIC)

Great photoshop, but you forgot the rear 3 screws on the silver colored center pan.

Very nice work shelby!
And BlackICE is correct....

Basically remove all the torx drive screws aft of the rear end of the silver alum belly pan. Two sections of composite underbelly are removed to gain acces to all three oil drain plugs.

I did not forget them, just cant really see them on my screen. I will take a good pic of the underside of a GT on our lift one day and get a much better illustration for you guys.

I added in the blue circles the points to jack up the entire side of the car.

Is it ok to use these rear points for a four point lift? My Snap on lift wont go that narrow to pick up the two rear {inward} spots.

Im refering to the ones in blue from member Pete S

If you mean the blue spots. I would think not. The blue spots will be close the the center of mass (front to rear) as such it would be very unstable at best.

Blackice,,i would be useing the two in front and the two in back in blue all at the same time. I have a drive over hydrolic lift that you swing the arms out and position as needed. The problem i have is the recomended rear points are narrower than the lift will go so i can't use them. I ws just wondering how much weight you think these {blue circled} points can withstand?:cheers

Those blue spots can lift the entire left or right side of the car off the ground. The problem is that it is the GT is mid engine and much of the weight is rear of the blue spots, UNSTABLE, UNSAFE, when used in conjuction with the front lifting points. The blue spots are fine to lift one side of the car up for service while both wheels on the other side are on the ground, or if jack stands are used at the recommended jacking points on the other side.

I see your point and your right, there would be too much weight hanging off the back of the lift:frown
