Few people have your combination of mechanical ability and sheer guts ! :roll:

I've done it before but never again.

In addition to sweat, one should expect a lot of cussing, skinned knuckles and probably at least one ruined tube.........which you will notice BEFORE you get it all back together, if you are lucky.

If I understand your "jack triangle" method correctly, it's the same thing I do to oil the chain. I do not, however, think that is stable enough for anything more complicated that chain oiling or brake adjustment. Are you really saying that you recommend to others that this is appropriate blocking to change a rear tire? :??:
