Yeah, the suggestion that the gear be properly inspected presupposes that the maintenance organisation is properly equipped. Many Cessnas are jacked from under the wing spar, and require very tall jacks. There are usually screw on fittings for jack points, though a few very old Cessnas do not have them.

I was once the custodian of a Cessna 207, which I took for weighing. The aircraft was not properly jacked, and this was the result...
