How to replace steer tires in older 3-wheel

We have an older Crown SC30 3-wheel, electric, counterbalance forklift and we need to replace the steer tires (the dual tires in the back of the unit, under the battery). Dumb question: how do we access these steer tires? Do we need to remove the battery to get to them? I am really stuck in here.... Thanks.

Thanks. I usually have to jack forklifts only a couple of inches to change a tire. Looks like I have to lift this one almost a foot up to access the tire from underneath. Not a good design...

Jack up the back and put put hardwood blocks to support it. Then pull the axle shaft out and out come the wheels.
