Jacking Point on 03 maxima

I want to do my rear brakes, and was looking for a jacking point to lift the back end up. I couldn't find any obvious points in the back. I also searched it up online, there were other posts similar to mine, but the images of the jack points they posted have been removed. Also what's the best place to place the jack stands when doing brakes? the axle? or should I just place it on the jack point at the side beside the wheel?

You could jack up the rear beam or by the stock jack points by the wheels

Here is a diagram of the jacking points that is in the service manual.

I used the sides until I bent the little metal ridges....now I only use the front cross member and the rear beam for jacking. Jack stands can go under the marked side points.

To avoid bending the ridges, you could buy the special Nissan tool for a gazillion dollars or make your own like I did. Notch the bottom to fit your jack so it doesn't slip off.
