At that part should the car be off the jack stands? Does the car need to move? I have my car up on jackstands for the winter with all the wheels off. Do you think it will be fine if I drive it in the air.
I did it while it was up. Helps in looking for possible leaks also. Just be sure to use the foot brake in addition to the hand brake.
DISCLAIMER: Of course the SAFEST way would be to lower the car first.
