So I have a very heavy stove that I need to lift one corner of (to slip back in a floor protector disc that slipped out) and it's too heavy for one person to budge. I think it's 350 lbs.
I have a bottle jack that I'm trying to figure out if I can use, but I don't see any reachable hardpoints to get under and only spots where I'd have to cantilever a clip or something to. The stove bottom is only an inch off the ground so I can't get underneath it. The hardpoints are either too low for the jack, or something I can't reach with the jack since I'd have to open the oven door. There are some small slits that I can get a small flat piece of something into perhaps, like in the horizontal grille between the door top and the controls.
Any suggestions for a simple jury rig I can do to lift up the corner of the stove with a simple part or something I can fashion from around the house? (I don't have to move the stove if that makes things easier).

An air wedge should do the trick, but you must check the bottom of the appliance can take the weight.
