+1 on the jackstands. NEVER rely on a jack. o get crushed by your Z. .

Agreed. Never take the risk.

Also, you don't need to undo the four bolts to the halfshaft, or the brake line. FWIW

I cannot get the strut out of my 260 without dropping the halfshaft and parking brake cable.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]53791[/ATTACH]I guess I chose the wrong photo to post. I had just removed the jackstand so I could use it for a few minutes on the parts car. I wasn't working on the car without a stand, nobody ever should, I was taking a picture. As soon as I got the part from the other car I put the stand back under the car and resumed working on it. I have two sets of stands, i know I need to get another set. I have included a photo that was probably one of the next I took, jackstand in place. Thanks again for the helpful advice. I just took my car for a great little drive up and down a canyon where I live in central Idaho.
