Just had my M's rims off for painting and like the others said, they are heavy. I only dropped one once but then I needed equipment to stand it back up. Couldn't do it myself.
I jacked up the tractor so the tire was slightly off the floor and then slid a piece of plywood under the tire. Then, as I loosened the bolts, the tire rested on the plywood. With the jack I could raise an lower the tractor/axle so that it was still centered in the rim and not binding it. Then you can pull the plywood out away from the tractor and the tire and rim will slide along with it. It worked really well to get them back on because it was just me and my wife. She balanced the tire and I pushed the plywood back in towards the tractor, again using the jack to get it aligned. Worked better than I hoped since I had never done it before. Good luck.
