When I did the ones on my old landrover, I just stuck the trolly jack under the break over bar. The truck was sitting on tires, NOT jackstands. So I just let the jack lift the truck with the breakover bar, and then jumped up and down in the box. I found that either the bolt loosened, or sheared off.

These days, I'm not as energetic, and take things apart with the cutting torch, when I know I'm going to replace them.

I've been told I get a bit "ram-y" though.
