I've been having a hard time buying a Tower Jack, myself.  The guy who makes
them, his site is up but no one answers the phone or returns emails.  The
other sites that carry them tell me they don't have them and refer me to his
site.....   ???  

I gave up.

Tony,

Get yourself a "TowerJack".   

You'll need to overcome gravity,  plus whatever alignment distortion
generated friction there was when you assembled, plus corrosion.  

Towerjack works.

Car jack and 2x4's works, too, but it's hard to manage aloft.

ps:   it's actually easier to take this stuff apart vertically than
horizontally,
so laying it over intact and then disassembling isn't fun.    Vertical
disassembly
obviously requires a ginpole.    And a ground crew.
