Lift And Support Points - Honda 2004 Odyssey Service Manual

Lift and Support Points

NOTE: If you are going to remove heavy components
such as suspension or the fuel tank from the rear of the
vehicle, first support the front of the vehicle with tall
safety stands. When substantial weight is removed
from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity can
change and cause the vehicle to tip forward on the hoist.
Frame Hoist
1. Position the hoist lift blocks (A), or safety stands,
under the vehicle's front support points (B) and rear
support points (C).

2. Raise the hoist a few inches, and rock the vehicle
gently to be sure it is firmly supported.
3. Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect the lift
points for solid contact with the lift blocks.
Safety Stands
To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same
support points (B and C) as for a frame hoist. Always
use safety stands when working on or under any
vehicle that is supported only by a jack.
