Removing the Rear Axle on a K11 Micra - Full tutorial - Shocks, Springs, Panhard Rod etc. 

They were very tight for me when I tried to remove them. Give them a good clean with a wire brush, spray them with some wd40 of other penetrating fluid and get a wrench or bar with good leverage, chances are rust has probably seized them.

Scrap yard might be your best option in terms of price.

When I put the on the jacks stands

Ignore me I saw this

Not silly question, can get kinda confusing. If you have a solid enough trolley jack, go for the middle of the rear axle. It should be solid enough, that's how i do it. Otherwise you could get away with a bottle jack in front of the actual jacking points and put a stand quickly on jack point once up. But if sills are getting crispy, it might be a bit sketchy😬
