What about putting three or four screw eyes in the ceiling and lifting the motor assy on ropes? Pulling down and pushing up at the same time would keep from having extreme tension on the bolts and having multiple ropes would provide a safety margin.

If you unbolt the can from the cone you could rotate the upper section to allow the stand to be against the wall and the filter to not be touching the wall. Just rotate until the filter works and keep going until the holes line up.
I did mine myself and I am still feeling it! Get some ducts hooked up asap but be careful. First time I turned it on it ate my pencils, pad of paper and 2 pairs of safety glasses in about 3 seconds. We all have our issues I guess.
Strive for perfection...Settle for completion
