Default Where 2 jack '99 Accord

I am changing out the rear brake pads on my '99 EX. However, when I use my floor jack at the tow hook in the back, i can't get the car high enough to get my jack stands underneath the jack points in front of the rear wheels. Does anybody know where else I can position my jack to get it a little higher?

jack it up on the side. look under the side skirt. you'll see about an 8 inch piece of metal hanging down. use that. theres one behind the front wheel also

when doing my rear sway bar I jacked at the jack points with the stock jack and put the stands on the front part of the fat lower arm that holds ur suspension. U will see a large bolt that connects the arm to the chassi and thats where I put my stands. It worked well.

i still say the block works best so you can chage both of the ****in things at the same time.
