I hated so much that this happened to you on the way home from vacation! I'm glad you were still able to come to Hatteras to be with us a few days. Love you son!!!
Been there, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone solo. I did three tires in one day. Two I had to redo because I didn’t clean the O-rings. I also broke two breaker bars. Now I run a air impact off of the trailer break port, a fixed position 3/4” solid breaker bar without the swivel head, a pipe to extend the handle, a short piece of PVC pipe to rotate the wheel ( imagine a circus bear walking on a ball … lol ) and a Shovel to help me get the tire on the Lugs. Oh and a digital torque wrench so I know for sure I’m at 450 foot pounds. All that stuff plus a back brace lives in my tire changing kit now.
Thanks for the video. It's a lot of work, that's for sure. I have used a flat garden shovel/spade. It helps to lift and lower the tire onto the lugs, slide the tire in and out of position, as well as you can rotate the tire a little to line up the lugs.

Hey brother it's good seeing a video of the truck in action. Hate that you had a tire blow. Glad that you got it changed.
Miss you bro... I been following you since the RV way back.. #YouRock 💪🏿🇺🇸👍🏿
Heck yeah buddy! I definitely appreciate you!

That’s a great idea! Now that you say it I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it done that way. Another tool to add. 👍
Cool to have a video,bummer bout the tire though ✌️
I agree, i learned a lot from the experience so that’s a big plus.
How much $ did you save not calling for service?
I would guess it would be close to $1k to have a service truck come out. Maybe a little less. What do you think?
OTYKEN !
