For future reference (surprised not more posts when I searched, I guess typical 9-3 owner must not do their own maintenance)...
Used floor jack on front, with 18" long piece of wood underneath crossmember right behind the front plastic. Once lifted, placed jack stands on front/side points.
Not sure why the driver's side doesn't include the square metal point like the other three places. Was able to slip jack stand between plastic and metal. Not all jack stands may work here. The other three all have square (or at least rectangular) extensions.
No single point to lift entire rear of car. I guess I was spoiled that both of my previous 9-5's included trailer hitch that I could lift.
Had to use jack on rear, one side at a time, w/o any jack stand. I'll have to fabricate something to prop into the floor jack if I'm going to do anything more than swap wheel.
Torque to 81 lb-ft, just like the 9-5.
