Okay okay okay I get the point; I am convinced it would be a bad idea to get under the car with those stands.
Grrrrrr they weren't cheap but at 54yo it's definitely not the first time I've thrown money away and almost certainly will not be the last. Craigslist here they come I had my doubts about the single pin when I bought them from Northern Tool I guess the looks got the better of my judgement. Torin Aluminum Race Jack Stands — 3-Ton, Model# T43004 | Jack Stands | Northern Tool + Equipment I'm glad I posted for feedback because that's what I wanted, maybe I haven't lost all my common sense. I really do appreciate the comments because in the end all I want to do is complete my cbe install without a hitch. Bruce

I installed my cbe alone using Jack stands. It helps if you have a long rachet wrench. I used my 250 ft lbs torque wrench.
