4 post lift and rolling jack

Hi,

Where is it safe to lift the front end of the ZL1? This is my first time doing this and the rear was obvious but not the front end. Do I need to remove the plastic covering to do this? Just looking to get the car up to swap tires.

Thanks,

Gary

Remove the engine cover then you will have spots to lift at. I do it when I need to do some work.

How do you get under the car to remove the bolts?

there are two gromets on the cover that you can't unscrew. I guess you just pull on those a little and they will pop off? I don't want to break them. Bear with me. This is all new to me...
