When I was working for the Goliath limestone mine in Tasmania, they used the
tipper to lift the rear wheels. They carried two long poles & a stand. The
poles are put under the rear overhang of the tipper, the tipper is lifted, thus
lifting the wheels. The stand is placed under the diff area, and the tipper
lowered to let the stand take the weight.
I never saw the front wheels changed, so can't help you there 8?(
