    This weekend I jacked up my gen 4 Prius to remove wheels with a jack from a friend. I was able to easily access to rear jacking point but the front jacking point is really hard to access. I ultimately ended up using 2 jacks and 2 jack stands.

    1. Jack to side pinch weld to bring car up,
    2. 2nd jack to front jack port once able to reach it and then jacked car up
    3. removed first jack and placed stands on each side.
    4. reversed steps to remove and had to be careful to put jack back on side weld to make sure the car didnt crush over the jack on front jack.

    Overall this seemed inefficient. Is there a better/safer way to do this?
