neblinc,
Be very careful if this is your first split. I have yet to split one, but have had the rear tires off and it was rather nervewrecking. Redunancy is a good idea. When I pulled my right rear tire, I used a big cherry picker (4 ton capacty), and a log chain around the axle. Also had a stand made from 4X4 (4X4's stand directly in top of each other), and a homemade (more then adequate by itself I'm sure) steel jackstand.
Be sure to keep your escape route in the event of failure in mind. Yes I'm paranoid, but one wrong move could mean death. Make sure you have adequate room to run if something goes wrong. Also, I would try to have someone else there for the splitting, just in case something does happen. I dont mean to sound crazy, but I dont want this post to be your last!!
Let us know how it goes!! Get some pics if you can. I'd like to see the stands.
