jacking location

I have a '76, 31' AS. The repair manual says to jack at the marked locations behind the axle. I can't find and marked location. Anyone know where to put the jack to lift this thing? I want to check brakes.
thanks for any help.

There's a whole subforum on this topic...even though they say the jack points are marked, many times they are not...this should give you more than enough information to do it properly and safely... http://www.airforums.com/forums/f457/ Good luck!

I only jack up the trailer where the axle is mounted to the frame. This plate has plenty of support. Do not place the jack on the axle tube.
