[Healeys] Fw: Getting Healey off the ground

[Bob Spidell]

I lift the front first, then put the floor jack under the diff from the driver side (L/H drive car) in front of the right rear wheel. 

Reverse procedure to lower.

I have found that when raising my BJ8 with a floor jack, the rear must be 
lifted first, then the front. Vice versa coming back down. If done in the 
other order, the floor jack will not clear the rear valance. Coming down, 
the interference can cause damage. 

Anyone else have this issue?
