Not sure about the 14A but on the 14 at the bottom of the gear leg in line with the axle on the inside is an open section that a 7/8" (from memory) bar fits into perfectly. I have a piece of bar 6"-8" long that I can slip in and then use a trolley jack to lift the wheel off the floor.
I used this method occasionally during construction but there is no reason why the same thing can't be carried in the plane. I'm sure a piece of reasonable heavy pipe machined to the correct diameter could be used instead to save a bit of weight
