You don't need to blow your suit if you just can lift the bricks.
How much lifting etc. can a suit of power armour do ?
I would have thought at least a few hundred Kilos (a trained Weight
Lifter can do that), perhaps even a ton or two (a light crane) ?

Doing it from something in front of you with good grips is one thing.
Getting it off your back where you cannot grab it is another.
