"Unhook your TM from the tow vehicle" might mention that if you do all of the above and just pull the pin on the receiver, you can drive away and leave the ball just dangling, then work on the coupler with little load on the ball.
Is more difficult/dangerous to try to reconnect that way, takes two people and is why brakemen before the Janney coupler replaced link & pin often were missing fingers. Don't do it. Please.
