brake pad rotor replacement
Good day, I am planning to change the brake pads and rotors myself. To make the job easy, I would like to know how to turn the steering wheel to one side with only one wheel jacked up. I have 1 scissor jack and 4 jack stands. Thanks.

if you have 4 jack stands then jack up the front half of the car...turning the wheel while only up on a scisor jack is not advised, nor is it if you have a single jack stand under the car
you can jack up the entire front half of the car off of the transmission front center of the car |

Thank you for your suggestion. I cannot find the jack point to lift the front half. I can borrow a floor jack from a friend.
