DO NOT support the weight of your trailer on the axle tubes as stated above, you may damage and or bend the axles. You must first jack and support the weight of the trailer with jack stands UNDER THE FRAME, then feel free to jack up the axle, remove the wheels and do what ever else you need to do to drop the leaf springs and replace the wet bolts.
Not if jacked under spring perch......where ALL the trailer weight is supported by axle tube.
Bending of axle tubes occurs when jacked farther inboard.
Statements by mfg. is 'CYA' by legal department.
