Put some timber top and bottom of the jack to spread the pressure and avoid any damage.Thanks that is what i thought, just wanted to check
Here's mine before it went in. Way too big, sat across the rails.

Here it is going in. I remember the rails creaking a bit as I jacked them apart!

With timbers either end of the jack, the jack to hold and pump, I had to use the trolley jack to hold the cross member in place and slowly jacked it in as the rails opened.
Did you use a bottle jack?Thanks, i managed to get it fitted
