Nobody knows the best way. It depends on what you have to work with. The rear end needs to be supported very solidly. No sense getting squashed by your tractor. I kind of like Hugh MacKay's pallet jack idea. Not having a pallet jack, I used a come-along hung from a pipe in the rafters to do the heavy lifting.

If you have a wide front, the bolster is really awkward - it wants to flop over to one side. The whole front end will go down like a puppet with the strings cut. It is heavy and difficult to get upright again. Wedging it up and locking up the tierods / trunnions will help keep it upright.

The block and crank are not too heavy. I set mine on a 2X4 frame (to keep from squashing the oil return pipe)on top of a pallet set on a base of cement blocks. If you make the frame wide enough, you can tip the motor on its side and get the crank out. Be sure to mark the caps and journals.
