I'm going to make a wooden chuck, custom made, fits under the 4 into, no need to remove. I'm either 4x4 with a saw, or build with 2x4, but I want a 4-point block or shim between jack and sump cover. That means I can run a 2by and run the length of the angle is one side of 4 points. Look how much sump surface I have covered, not send a nail thru it with less 'surface spread.'
See the shim clearing the pipe?
See the surface points is spread the 2by?
See even if the pipe forces you to make just 3-points, I am still stable once the bike is upright and centered in the jack, and square is the jack under the bike and its own stability once the bike sends its weight fore and aft.
