Is positioning an axel stand on the axel just inside the chassis ok, as opposed to between the chassis and the wheel.


Many Thanks

On my Alko I don't think there would be room between the chassis and the wheel, so yes it is OK on my Alko, although you don't say what chassis you have.

For amusement look at John Wickersham's video on jacking here :-

https://youtu.be/bux1kg7wxCg

He is at Alko's own workshop and telling us we must only jack under the axle, or under the chassis in its vicinity (as per Alko's own advice), but the van he is using to show you is on a lift being supported near the ends of its chassis! A point picked up by some commenters.

Anyway, good advice comes around 50 seconds into the video.

Many Thanks Dr Zhivago

Mine is an Alko chassis as well, the video answers my question

Cheers!
