Yes, it is a heavy old lump.

What I found was that you can fit the beam as loose as possible on the front mounts, and just support its weight, it then hangs at enough of an angle to get to the diff bolts. You can then jack it up and tighten the front beam mounts.

It was a lot easier on the Ramps as I can lower the car on to the beam but the above would work on axle stands. Just be extra careful as the beam and diff make up a significant % of the rear end weight so the car could move a lot.
