When jacking up on the piece of metal rod or breaker bar which you've inserted into the hollow axle, place the scissor/trolley jack a couple of inches away from the end. While the wheel is being jacked up, it is likely that once the tire is off the ground, the bar will not be horizontal and therefore won't be at a right angle to the jack. The higher that the jack is raised, the greater the potential for it to slip sideways and drop the aircraft. Therefore I have a block of concrete or wood ready to slip under the undercarriage leg where the brake caliper attaches, as soon as I've loosened the brake disc and wheel and moved them out of the way. Only after the flange for securing the caliper is resting on the block, do I breathe easier.
