Proper way to get car on/off jackstands & clutch cable problem

[Rustofer]

I feel like this is a stupid question - but here it goes

Whats the right way to get my car up on jackstands? and take it off when im finished?

I just want to make sure i dont destroy the rocker panels or mess anything up or hurt myself.

I need to get under the vechicle to check my adjustable clutch cable and inspect the clutch fork. I think i had the cable adjusted too tight. I was having a problem where it was very difficult to shift into gears - so i adjusted the cable tighter and the problem went away completely! But i was driving and the clutch pedal kind of "gave away" very quickly - i thought my foot slipped off of it initially but i can step on the pedal now and the car stays in gear and its nearly impossible to get it to change gears.

So im assuming the car will have to go on 4 jackstands so the car wont roll away because i will have to cycle the clutch to check the cable out. Plus my e-brake is so weak its almost useless.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Put your ebrake on and jack up the front and put it on stands first and then do the back at least that's what I always do it's about as simple as it sounds and then to take it off drop the rear first and then start it up and put in in reverse and give it hell (please don't actually do this)

jack it up on the center of the k-member, and put the stands under the front control arms or on the k-member, also, sounds like your cable is shot. I did the same thing last week, engagement was poor, so i adjusted the cable, drove the car to work, everything as great, then when i went to leave i had no clutch. Get a new cable cause that ones probly junk. And you shouldnt have to put the rear tires in the air to get to the clutch fork
