Here's a link to a good previous discussion on the subject.

OK folks. Success. Crawled under the car, jacked it up. Trusted the electronic emergency brake
and a chock on the right two ground tires. Used a tow strap to the f450 to get it up my insanely steep driveway.
Now, when I get time, I can replace the starter in the calm serenity of my garage... THis will prevent me getting in trouble with the HOA due to audible disturbances that might (will) occur from working on this thing.
Thanks everyone for the help so far.
