"That is why I added a remote hand pump to my hydraulic jack. I still have to crawl under to place the jack. But I'm out to the side when pumping the jack up."
That is a good idea to be sure but you missed my point completely. When you are trying to wrestle/pull that inner dually off of the axle you will be head and shoulders up inside of the wheel well. If the jack fails at that point without a jack stand you are well and truly.... in a world of hurt. This has nothing to do with sliding the jack under the axle and pumping it up.
Hate to be the harbinger of doom and gloom but stuff happens... plan for the worst and hope for the best. Be safe out there.
