Hello,
I was looking at tohighlander.com and in the section about jack and safety stand use, it says "When jacking up the front wheels, release the parking brake and place wheel chocks only behind the rear wheels. When jacking up the rear wheels, place wheel chocks only in front of the front wheels." Later it says "when jacking up only the front wheels or only the rear wheels, place wheel chocks on both sides of the wheels touching the ground".
I assume when they refer to jacking up the front wheels, they mean using a floor jack at the designated "bumped out" spot in the frame in the front. But, why the distinction in jacking up front wheels and ONLY jacking up front wheels. And why wouldn't you always want the parking brake on?? And, what if you are only jacking up rear wheels with a floor jack?
