It's been close to a year since I rebuilt my 9", so memory is a little cloudy, but I think the entire 3rd member is around 75 pounds. Depending on the angle you are reaching from, it could easily be more than a person can handle. Slippery when oily.

I had another person operate a regular floor jack to do the heavy lifting, and I steadied the 3rd member on the jack. I think a better jack, that would have supported the 3rd member on its own, would have been very nice to use. Easier and safer.
