Wouldn’t be so bad if I could do it out from the truck, but then I can’t get the truck high enough to roll it under.
Yike! I've done it solo, but that was 50 YA, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. They also didn't have the park brake drum. That makes it extra special in terms of effort. Try tipping it onto the jack panel, and then rotating it around all the way on, if that makes sense. This won't work if you have swivel casters on the jack.
