Hello,
My gearbox has been leaking oil for a while now and i've finally decided to get around to replacing the driveshaft seal.
I have a 2001 Peugeot 206 1.6 16v Roland Garros, no haynes manual exists apparently.
From my understanding one should place the axle stands under the sills - however, to me this would be very dangerous. The sills on these cars rust and break. If it snapped while i was under it... no thanks.
I asked a mechanic and he said put them under one of the bars in the photo (can't remember which one).
Can anyone tell me if this will be safe? I hate working under a car on jack stands and want to know that i am placing them safely. I am also going to slide my ramps under for a bit of extra safety.
Many Thanks
Edit - Very frustrating, i can't embed picture. Need to delete the spaces in the link. If anyone could embed for me i would greatly appreciate it.
