Servicing Oleo Struts on M5 first time since new 1977 ???

When the Oleo Struts are off, what did you do to keep the plane up? Chain from the top oleo attachment to bottom oleo attachment?
Just leave it hanging from the engine mount or top rings?
other idea's?
I'm putting in the new style of springs and will need to have the oleo's off for a week or so, to get the Pistons and Bushings machined down to the correct dimensions, New O-Rings with spares for cutting the first ones, and of course new bolt kit from Alaska Bush Wheel going on.
