JF there are no stupid questions, just rude answers & very few of them. You could jack it under the front K in the center which'd raise both front wheels up or at either of the rear subframes for a reat tire & in the front you could hit either subframe also instead of the K. A good plan is to just slightly loosen the lug nuts before you raise it

Sorry may be a bit of a stupid question but where’s the safest point to Jack the rear up on a 70 Satellite ? It’s only to get 1 wheel off, thanks Place jack saddle (floor type jack) under axle center section: if that's the type jack you have. Raise until tires off ground. Springs will compress as you raise. Less total lifting involved. If jacked from a body point: spring(s) relax & need to raise more before tire clears ground.

On my 68 Sat, I have to jack the body up and let the rearend sag to get my wheels off due to big tires and 3 inch long wheel studs.

As noted before: on the frame members in front of the spring hanger is a rigid part of most cars
