Certainly a lot easier and more stable than trying to balance on a piece of wood atop a trolley jack.

I occasionally use a bottle jack and a bit of wood which can be hair raising at times :lol:

I use a scissor jack with a piece of wood bolted to it. Been using it for years. The jack and center stand hold the bike up with both wheels off.
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.
May the shaft be with you
