Hydraulic Jack Placement?

[FONT=Arial]
This coming weekend, will be bleeding and flushing clutch and brake lines. I have jackstands and hyd jack for this

I am confident of where the jack stands go. But where does the hyd jack lift point go for lifting front and rear ends respectively?

Am also upgrading to a retro '03 non-DOV slave cylinder. For bleeding and access from the garage floor does anyone recommend jacking up the REAR half of the car or the LEFT half of the car.[SIZE=1][COLOR=green]

rear end - diff housing.

front end you look underneath the car from the front and should see a small hump behind the oil pan.

left half---put jackstands under both the front and back of the left side and the slave cylinder is very easy to reach

Be careful with positioning the floor jack when lowering the rear differential jack point, the exhaust pipes are nearby and it's very easy to dent the pipes if the floor jack is not position correctly.
