It is not a big job if you have the cast centers for both. I did it both ways alone as a teenager back in the 60's. Use the bottle jack as suggested by others under the housing. Remove the four nuts holding the front pedestal then jack up the tractor front until the pedestal can be removed. Put the nuts and washers back on the pedestal for safe keeping.

With the tires on it is much easier to align the axel. With the bolts in place attach the tie rods and you are done unless you need to adjust the tread width. Be sure to check for proper toe in alignment. Understand that the wide front for the SC was a nightmare to drive. Keep your front pedestal because you may put it back on once you have driven it for a while.
