Jacking & Hoisting: Hoist

2003 Honda Civic HX, StandardSECTION Hoist
WARNING: When removing heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank or spare tire, vehicle center of gravity may change and cause vehicle to tip forward.
  1. When removing heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank, spare tire or tailgate, place additional weight into trunk of vehicle before hoisting. Placing front wheel/tire assembly into cargo area can assist with weight distribution.
  2. Place lift blocks onto reinforced support points of side body panels (between front and rear wheels). See Figure . These are same points as used with manufacturer-supplied jack. Lift hoist a few inches and rock vehicle to ensure vehicle is firmly supported. Completely lift vehicle and check for proper vehicle support.
