L3400 Tie Rods Replacement

It looks like just two bolts each and my question about how to get the wheels the two inches or so off the ground without crushing myself. Can I do the job with all the weight on the bucket with some wood blocks under the axle? Any reason I can't take the bent ones off before lifting the wheels off the ground?

It's not like you need it that high, just get it slightly off the ground.

If you can, post some photos of it. I have an L2800 with a torn boot that I might have to replace some day!

Any more ideas for switching these out? I am not very good with a wrench and have been dreading this, but I missed my May mow and need to make it happen. I just don't want to raise the tractor and do anything stupid that will leave me worse off. Thank you!
