If you don't have a buddy,point it up hill,install chain ..release break til tension on chain..
Alex, that is so....imprecise. The real way is to remove the pretzel, set it on a hard surface (bump up) and carefully drive the CMP up on top of it. Actually, that's what I tried with my first bent CMP bumper all those years ago and it didn't work. I'll bet it would have if it had been bigger than a 15cwt. Maybe best go with your way...
