We had 4 REALLY TALL stands, one used a valve for a pin. I pulled it up REALLY HIGH, to select a hole, DROPPED it & it SHEARED the valve!! We immediately drilled out ALL the holes & made up 1/2" PINS!!
I used the stands to support Jaguar XKEs, to drop the ENGINE/TRANS out the bottom, to replace the clutches.---If you ever even THINK about doing one, DON'T do IT!!-- 16 Hours, Flat Rate.
