    Don't have him laying underneath it when you tell him to drop it. It was funny when you did that to the other guy that one time, but it's different this time. The Stomach will survive and haunt you.

    Pull fifth wheel, pull out from underneath, disconnect lines from neck, flip up dog bones, back back under it, pull the pin on neck, block neck with board across frame rails, raise air bags, pull out. And do that in reverse to hook back up

    You will forget the air lines at least once and you will forget the board at least once and you will drop the neck at least once. We all do, kinda like a rite of passage

    Oh @stwik make sure you are as level as you can be when you detach. Oak board is better than pine. Do you have frame ramps

    Ok, first question do you have ramps on the truck? Or is it bare frame rails?
