If you're just taking them off, and you are not particular, you can unbolt them and let gravity take over. If memory serves I think they weigh 132 pounds or so each, so keep your toes back. If you don't want to do that you will need either 1 big helper or 2 smaller ones or rent a hoist. I had a set once that was so rusty, I had to pry and beat on them, after the bolts were out, to get them to drop. Just a suggestion though, if you think they might drop off, turn the wheel so that the valve stem is up so the weight doesn't smash it. When I was a kid, I watched my Dad learn that lesson the hard way once. Calcium solution all over, not a pretty site.
