Jack Point on Columbus 320 RS

Where is the safest/best place to place a jack when removing a wheel to service the wheel bearings - the Axel or the Frame?

Best place is between the 2 tires and up onto the frame where it meets the colorplast. An alternate place would be directly on the U bolts that hold the axel onto the springs. Be careful not to place the jack directly onto the axel as it could do damage to it. I would also recommend using jack stands under the frame once its jacked up. and to also be sure that the pins are fully into the front jacks... ask me how I learned that...
