- when you jack up the escape, where do you position the jack since the jack stands are placed where the owners manual tells you to place the jack?

- i tried removing the nuts from links while on the ground but the studs just spun, i have seen people say to use an allen wrench to hold the stud, but i don't see where. the moog replacements i bought have a hex on the inside of the stud but the OEM replacements currently on the escape don't

Hello and good day:

Here are a couple of Links that may Help ... How to Lift a Ford Escape | eHow.com

2008 escape hybrid jack stands location - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Escape City - Ford Escape Forums - Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Mazda Tribute, Ford Maverick - View topic - Vehicle Lifting Points

May I ask what are you replacing? Brakes, Tie Rod, a Ball Joint???

If it doesn't have a hex to hold / stop it turning , you may need to cut the nuts off or burn them off .Quite common on a number of cars .Sometimes on some you can force arm off and try and hold ball joint from turning with grips , but easier / quicker just to burn off.

P.s
Some types of links had a couple of flats for a spanner / shifter / wrench to hold .
