With my failing back these darn 8-3/4 pumpkins are so hard to swap out for me anymore that I decided to make an attachment to use my floor jack to R&R them. It's made from scrap metal I had laying in my pile so it's not the prettiest but gets the job done. It bolts on top where the pinion snubber bolts on and to the yoke then wraps around the bottom where I used a nice wide plate for stability on the jack but I'd still recommend a strap of some sort so it can't fall off the jack.
And don't laugh too hard at those welds that look like crap. I ran out of mig gas before I got done.
