so i have this vehicle that needs to be moved of the GM A-body lineage - buick century/pontiac 6000/cutlass ciera/celebrity. I dont know if it's an 89 or 92 or what but it looks like those era oldsmobiles. I have to tow it backwards and i'm not quite sure where to put a tow strap. There's a jack point in the middle of the suspension but this is a massive stuck and i'm trying to avoid yanking the axle out. I can't push it backwards from the front, I can only access the rear for the first 30-35 feet before even trying to add force from the front...

All four wheels flat, brakes may even be seized on top of that/it's resisting all human pushes. I CAN shift it into neutral with the key but that didnt make a dang bit of difference so i'm guessing the brakes are sticking adding to the resistance.

No winches, just pickups, tow straps and chains available. Is there some designated hook point on this car chassis? im trying to not yank the rear axle out. >_

that frame location in the pdf looks spot on to me. It grapples with the frame in front of the rear wheels.

See section 5-9, good luck
