I used the method that Wabbiteer mentioned above. I used leverage to move the shell, in conjunction with a bottle jack to lift the shell slightly, then manipulated the jack to tip in a desired direction, forcing the shell in that direction as the jack drops...a little scary doing this alone, though.
It turned out well, shell is connected, and I wasn't crushed in a horrible shell dropping accident.
