When I jacked mine up I didn't have the jacking pin that Charlie mentions. I simply used a bottle jack. I placed it under the floor at the rear and lifted up the rear end with it. I placed a number of wood blocks under the floor and then did the same at the front.

However this didn't take the wheels off of the ground fully but I did give me more room to work under it.

For removing the track you would be best to pop a track pin and lay the track out flat either to the front or rear. Do this with both tracks and then simply role the carrier forwards or rearwards to clear the track. i used our tractor to give the UC a nudge. On a hard surface you should be able to roll a UC on its road wheels with one person.
