Where are the jack/lifting points for Rv-10 mains, front tire change?

Best and safest lift/jacking up points for Rv-10?

These work well for the mains, nose easy with nothing else needed. RV-10 Jack Points

For the nose gear, just add weight in the baggage compartment and hang more from the tail tie-down. That'll lift the nose. On the tail tie-down, use a rope or strap to hang weights 6" above the floor. When the airplane tilts, the weights will hit the floor and the nosewheel will be off the ground.

You can use any low profile jack for the nose wheel. I use a wing jack under the wing tie downs for the mains.

If outside the hangar just use a tie down on the tail to hold up the nose. If inside the hangar use the tail tie down tied to just about anything, the leg of a work bench perhaps. Doesn't take much weight at all to suffice.

Flush masonry anchor in the hangar floor with an eyebolt and ratchet strap to the rear tie down. Remove eyebolt when not in use.
A 10 needs a decent weight on the tail. My body weight at the rear tiedown won’t go anywhere near getting the front wheel off the ground.
Table leg will work - if it’s bolted to the ground or weighs 200lb +

Agreed, I’m 175 and nowhere close to being heavy enough to weigh down the tail. I ended up buying tailweight and jack up the nose with a racing jack as mentioned above

I use my Harbor Freight engine crane and lift the nose wheel off the ground.

I made a rolling concrete weight. Since I work alone sometimes, I added a HF hand winch to the weight frame. Roll it under, hook to tail tiedown, crank winch. Works great.

Thanks for all the help everyone

Use a low profile jack right under the pivot nut. (Pic is showing a RV 9)

That works very well too. It is what I do to set the breakout torque.

Used a floor jack. Had to roll it up on a couple 2x4s to get the jack under it.
