Sounds like the entire face was cataracted...I LOVE it when RCA style cataracts are that bad as it often requires zero effort to fix. I've only encountered it a few times and I think all sets were from a wet TV shop basement in Indiana. One of the roundy tubes from there I picked up, walked 10' with the tube face down and the safety glass simply dropped off.
How long are the legs? If under 12" lift the light side of the cabinet and screw 2 on, then lift the other side and screw on. If significantly longer than 12" get 2 shorter legs than the set you're going to install and install them on one side install longer legs on the other side then swap the short legs for a matching set.
The problem with installing legs with the set on it's side then rotating it over is if you and a buddy aren't strong (and non-lazy) enough to not touch the set to the ground while rotating it, odds are you'll ballance it on 2 of its legs through a good portion of the rotation and it's not unheard of for those screw on legs to snap when supporting lateral forces equal to the sets weight, then other bad things happen. Ask me how I know...
