Hi
If you are going to work on your car safely you need a few things. High lift jack which can take the motor and tranny without it falling off. I also use a modified motorcycle jack.
I have a lot of jack stands but I often back it up by putting the wheel rims under the body chocked with timber so if the car falls it can not hit the deck and crush me. I do this because a teacher at school was terribly injured in the exact same circumstances and warned us about the dangers of jacks--that was in 1974.
Rule number 1, keep wifey happy.You need some overalls and nitrile gloves. Your wife will get pretty pissed with you ruining your cloths and dragging grease through the house. I don't know what's in it but the bacterial soap from the 99cent store gets grease off your hands better than any auto-store product.
Rule 2, don't take things off the car you don't need to and if you do label everything. Put small pieces in labelled sandwich bags. Trust me you will work out why when you go to put the car back together.
