What you are trying to do is just a routine task. If you do it in steps it can be done in 1 hours time.
Start by hookig up to bucket with chain to curl bucket you will need a chain to hold it in place. Remove the line form the rod ead of cyl. (On cat exavators i remove them at the valve body and run the oil into a bucket) curl bucket till it is at its stops then chain it in place. Repeat steps with stick. With a stick on a 325 i would use 2 chains. Wrap them around the boss that the rod end of the boom pin in. Then use a portapower to release swing brake( 2000 pounds max should release with less.) The house will swing. Push or pull with something, service truck, dozer ect...
Release final drive.
Push or pull on to low boy.
Lower boom on to truck.. ( many cats had a bleeder in a tube on the barrel end of the boom cyl i stick a fuel line over this and put it in a bucket
and open this a very small amount. )
To contain the spill of oil put a tarp on the ground. Often time there is but a few spots of oil on this tarp when the chore is done.
