you really need two(axle stands), per side!
one for the chassis and one for the axle.
uncontrolled movement is the concern--:o

I'm just talking about getting under the vehicle while the wheels are still on and on the ground.Quote:

I see that as pretty steady but still too fast for me to get out if I have my arm over the axle or something like that.
Happy Days.
I was going to go off and run my tests as recommended, but just tried the soapy water again - instant foam on the right bag. (had nothing 2 weeks ago) So I purchased a new Dunlop bag from MR and followed all instructions, I seem to have a problem - I don't know if I did it or other, but the bag seems too extended, that is, it seems hardly rolled over the piston and on 3 attempts, I cannot seem to get it to sit right.
any suggestions? I don't think I can roll it bag over the piston....
release the air, (chassis and axle stands)
bring the chassis and axle closer together, reinstall,
Thanks for your help.
After a ridiculous amount of time spent yesterday, I popped the bag in in a matter of minutes today - the trick being very incremental with inflation. And yes the instructions do say that - just a bit more touchy than I thought.
I will get it right on the next bag.......
I have attached a picture of the new bag at full length, and a picture of the foaming bag,
