No need to remove tailgate use as work surface, 5er parked and chocked. Now loosen all the bolts holding the pin box. The remove all except two in the front and two in the rear, these act as pivot points.
Now place some wood blocks on the tailgate to get near the level of the pin. now lower the front of the 5er until the pin just makes contact with the blocks. Then either remove the front OR rear set of bolts, then using the landing gear align the empty holes with the next set of higher holes. The holes are large enough that you can get the bolts back in. Once those are back in loosely then do the other set and raise or lower the gear to align.
This is how I did mine in about 30 minutes. Toughest part is getting the bolts/nuts loose in the first place. I was able to get an impact gun inside the pin box and work on the nuts, rather than trying from the bolt side.
That works too. Only difference is the other way you actually see your height above the rails and level of the trailer before fully assembling.
