Jack,

 

I’m not a mechanical type.

 

The only two ways I know are these:

 

1. Put a thick-walled pipe through the center of the knee of the landing gear and jack on that.

 

2. Have someone crouch under the wing, under the main spar and then stand up, lifting the wing.  The other person then slides a saw horse topped with sandbags (or something) under the spar.

 

I’ve used both these methods.

 

Hope that helps.

 

If not, ask this question on the tech list.  I’m sure others who’ve never done it themselves need to know the answer.
