Jim
When I worked on mine there were two places I put them, but I used a length
of stout timber to spread the loads across the width of the car.
The first place was just inside, (towards the middle of the car) or just
forwards from where the forward spring hangers mount to. The second was
to the left and right of the boot floor (when my petrol tank was removed).
So I guess in your situation, I'd be putting them just inside, or just forward of
the forward spring hanger mounts with a length of timber running from
across the width.
I'm assuming you're intending on wheeling the whole axle unit out from the
back of the car, if so you can't have the stands rear of spring hanger mounts.
It would be best to refit it that way as well.
The rear axle is surprisingly heavy for one person, well it was for me! And I
had no alternative when refitting to put it back as individual components and
remember having an awful job getting that rear axle in position due to the
amount of space I had. I was bright enough to remember to put the half shafts
in before I positioned the axle, because there was simply no width in the
garage for me to put them in afterwards.
