Well here's the update on the lift. It did not go very well!!!!!!
About thirty minutes in..... we broke two wrenches. I think we need to go to heavier equipment. We broke 2- 3/4" drive rachetts. We got the total weight off the VX, and had a cheater piper to the wrench and "snap". That was it for the weekend, no more tools..... Does any have any other suggestions???? I'm about to the end of my wrench.....
