Looking for a few suggestions

I know there are some ingenious people on here so maybe someone will have a simple idea. I mounted a telescopic mast to the corner of the chimney with straps. I can get to the top of the chimney with an extension ladder and could remove the pre-amp and let it hang. Then lower the third section to the rotor. Then loosen the bolts on the rotator and lift off the mast with antenna. I started to do this and realized that being that high with one hand to come back down was not safe.

If I temporarily put a pully up near the top of the chimney then loosen the telescoping mast and lift it off it's base plate then I could lower it with a rope through the pully. Not a great idea I know but all I can think of for a one man antenna swap with this thing.
