1. Lifting the Big Country and Removing the
Front Wheels
1.1. Turn the ignition off, and remove the keys from
the key switch.
1.2. Set the parking brake.
1.3. Chock the rear wheels.
1.4. Remove the wheel bearing dust cover.
1.5. Loosen the wheel bolt using a 3/4” socket on
breaker bar.
1.6. Safely lift the Big Country. See Figure 1.6.
CAUTION: Standard hydraulic jacks are lifting
devices only. They should not be used to hold a
vehicle in the air. They are only intended to raise
the vehicle long enough to position jack stands
under it.
CAUTION: Vehicles are to be lifted only on
ground that is firm and level.
NOTE: Any structural area at the front of the Big
Country can be used as a jacking point. The
front mounting point for the front axles is heavily
reinforced.

1.7. Place jack stands under the front of the Big
country, and lower the vehicle onto them.
See Figure 1.7.
NOTE: The axles can be used as a support point
for some service procedures.
NOTE: The channel under the floor of the pas-
senger compartment is sturdy enough to support
the Big Country on jack stands, but is prone to
slippage under some conditions. The inner edge
of the outrigger that supports the outer portion of
the floor provide sturdy and secure placement
for jack stands. See Figure 1.7.A
