Is the well string in a casing? (Should be.) It is possible to use tall "farm" jacks to lift the entire string and pump, 2' at a time with 2 jacks but you'll - need to have a large pipe wrench or clamp of some sort to tighten on the string (yes this works _much_ better with metal pipe!) to keep it from falling back down into the casing. And you're best to recruit several (foolish) friends and a case of beer, or two for the job. Don't forget to have other pipe wrenches to dis-assemble the string as you go. Oh, yeah AND you'll need to remove the well house roof before you start.
I vote for a well driller and their derrick.
Sign me "been there, done that" & know better now.
