Automotive maintenance and repair can involve inherent risks, including property damage, burns, cuts, electrical shock, exposure to chemicals, vehicle movement, falling vehicles, fire, serious bodily injury, or death.

Never work underneath a vehicle supported only by a jack. Use properly rated jack stands, ramps, wheel chocks, personal protective equipment, and other appropriate safety equipment when required.

If you are uncertain about a procedure, do not continue. Seek assistance from a qualified automotive professional.
