I used a pneumatic one, but an electric one would probably work. I doubt that a hand powered manual one has enough umph to do it.
I knew better than to put too much pressure on my stablizer jacks and did it anyway. The street side rear caused the siding to flex to the point that the lower row of siding broke loose right at the connection point with the row above it. It actually broke the panel loose along a line just at the point where the upper edge goes under the panel above. It split the metal for about 18 inches from the rear corner toward the front. I hope to repair it without taking the whole bottom panel off. This is all due to frame flex I think.
