I lift all three wheels off the ground with a large floor jack lifting against the bottom of the main beam of the trailer immediately behind the back axle.

That's wierd. I put a bottle jack directly in front of the front axle and a bottle jack directly behind the rear axle. Jack the front up a bit, jack the reat up a bit, and repeat until all wheels on one side are off the ground and able to be pulled off the hubs. Then put a couple of 6 ton jack stands directly under the axles and slowly drop the weight off the bottle jacks.

I can send you a pic if the one really didn't show up. It worked out great, I was able to do the entire side.

Cool. I don't take it up that high, just enough to get the wheels out from under it. I kept a little tension on the bottle jacks to help even the load after I dropped it on the jack stands.

Its funny to see it sitting there without any wheels on it, I had to order the bearings so it sat like that for a couple of weeks
