Then, if the tires aren't fully clear of the ground, you can then use a jack to raise the end of each axle the last little bit of the way to remove that tire, and the rest the same way, each time letting the axle hang after removing the tire, and all your brakes will be off the ground when the wheels are removed. Reverse the process when putting the new wheel/tires back on.

Doing this can cause the axles to flip the shackles. Doesn't hurt anything, but make sure the shackles are pointed UP when your done.
