I need to lift a huge yorkstone flag, approx 4ft by 4 ft by 4 inch
thick, by about 2 inches, & rebed on mortar etc as
necessary.
I can dig under the front edge if necessary, the sides are flower
beds so digging is limited & the rear edge is tight against the
house.
Any suggestions on how to approach?
Could you use four car jacks, one at each corner, placed in holes dug inderneath. Raise it up, push in mortar etc (keepinng away from jacks) then lower the jacks to get the required position and allow mortar to set. Then remove jacks.
Or, use levers to wedge it at the required position and then pour "flowing grout" into the gap and allow it to harden. Then remove wedges.

"Flowing grout" ? Wossat then?
