I use two boards and an old automotive scissors jack. I said, old. I think
the new cars now come with them as they have no bumpers to hold a jack.

You know how 25G legs get compressed by overtorquing the bolts? Well a
professional showed me how you get the sections seperated.. you pull the
bolts then climb up on the now unbolted section and rock it loose, at over
100 feet no less. I was worried he was going to take both of us off the
tower!
