I'm just planning ahead. If (when) I need to jack up my 179 in order to change a tire, grease the wheel bearings, etc. where is the proper place for my floor jack to lift? Under the axle or under the frame near the axle?

TIA

On the Pod instruction page, under “Axle bearing maintenance” Podster has put together very detailed information about servicing the bearing “My 2015 178 Initial Bearing Service”, this provides a lot more detail information, and he shows the position of the jack
