Default 1995 XJ6 rear jack points

So I am getting ready to change out my fuel filter and am wondering where the correct jack points for the rear of the vehicle are located, using a 2 ton floor jack. I have tried google but am getting different information. As heavy as these cars are I want to be correct and safe. Thanks.

The jack points are square tubes, the back one about 6" forward of the wheel well opening. The factory jack slides into the tube.

Car didn't come with a factory jack. Will putting a jack under that tube work?

Thanks. This may sound dumb, but any issues with putting the jack stands under the same bar?

Nope, you're fine. I do it all the time.

You might want to lift the entire rear of the car centered under the diff area and use the square tube jack points for the stands.

Just use a block of wood on the floor jack so you wont bend or damage suspension components.

I ended up just getting the fuel filter off without it jacked up. Such a low to the ground heavy car, makes me nervous tinkering around with stuff so close to the jack stands.
