Ralf:

Your gear operates at 1000 psi.  PLEASE don't try any shortcuts.  Take my
word, those props are expensive.

If your hydraulic pressure releases the downlocks, the wheels will try to
move.  Someone could easily get hurt

If you don't have the proper jacking equipment, cant you borrow jacks from
a neighbor or maybe from the FBO.

Maybe someone on the LML is close enough to let you borrow theirs.    Good
Luck
