B747-400ERF, PH-CKA, Wheel change, Miami International Airport 

This man's job is every bit as important as the flight crew. No mistakes. Maintenance is a huge responsibility.

The piano in the background spoils the fun!

Now THAT'S a floor jack! The steel mill near me buys those used tires for use on their pot carriers which haul scrap steel to, and molten slag from, the furnace. They fill them with water to help them withstand the heat. They get very little use out of them. Maybe a week before they're either shredded by scrap steel or burned up under the furnace in the slag.

Quite amazing that one man does the whole change. Where I come from there will three guys doing that, one working and two watching. That is how state employees work here.

He has thousands of people's life in his hands.. He should be proud.

The satisfaction of a job well done. AMT congratulations.

Woah! How can that little jack, powered by the ‘old’ tyre lift the nose of a 747 - thats incredible. A hand operated jack. A jumbo jet. Mind blown!

Fascinating stuff... Loved the thumbs-up when the assembly slid on!

WOW takes skill and knowledge to change the spare tire of a Boeing 747 this individual know precisely what they need to get a job done every serious safety work,

Please turn down the background music, otherwise your videos are cool!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AIR PLANES! IF I COULD LIVE ON A 747 AND RIDE IT NON-STOP FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE I WOULD! THE TAKE OFFS ALONE ARE THE BEST PART AND MAN , I LOVE IT!!!!

I worked on heavy aircraft for years and we always deflated the tire before we removed the axle nut for safety. Pretty sure that jack doesn't use that much of the pressure in that tire and I suspect that tire if the aircraft just landed has 200 psi or more of pressure in it. Maybe things have changed but we did it because aircraft use split wheels and for an added safety step instead of relying on the wheels integrity when the tire is inflated.

Thumbs up 👍 except for the background music. Yes, I muted it 🙄

You're checking and maintaining your plane. I enjoyed your video

Don't forget to put the spare wheel under the fuselage when it's up in the air.

What caught my attention was that he was done with this massive tire change before cargo ops was finished. Impressive.

Someone needs to introduce this guy to the magic of power tools!!

Great job, a man that is dedicated to his job. Keep up the good work. Today is May 26th 2022

Shared on my FB page "Boeing 747 The Queen of the Skies" !

Perfect one man show👍🏻👍🏻

First time watching an aircraft tire get changed out. I was half expecting when the wheel came off, to see giant red calipers with Brembo on them. 😅

We used to do quick main and nose tire wheel changes at LAX some times it was kinda stressfull youre in a big hurry but you cant make any mistakes i was on a good crew and learned the ropes but the first time on my own with everybody looking at you and wanting to get the flight moveing i was scared shitless but you get used to it good times flight line was fun j watt lockheed and mgm grand air

Greetings from Indonesia, my brother, keep it up

Very good job 👍 salutations 💖🇫🇷 from Airbus aircraft mecanic ✨

George Winston piano? Out of curiosity, what does the 'Jesus Nut' socket run $$$-wise? I am fascinated by specialty tooling, and can only guess at the number of zeros. Very cool for sharing!

Very important job 👌👌👌

Amazing! Done by one man.

Fantastic work

great video! probably 16-20 tires on this aircraft.

Dude, you sure sure change those massive wheels very quick!!

Fascinating stuff.

When I changed the wheel on our car I found the security locking key was damaged this week....and Im watching this😳😳😳

Where did you purchase the hose that connects the wheel to the jack? Or did you make out yourself?

Watching you change the wheels of a plane alone is as easy as changing a car wheel :)

มนุษย์เราสุดยอดจริงๆครับ

The piano music was exelent

I'm surprised those little wheels on the jack can stand such a massive weight.

Senhor, realmente me sinto ajudado em meu trabalho e estou muito feliz com esse vídeo e estou muito grato

At 8:25 was that a tourque wrench he was adjusting to a proper setting?

He used the tyre air pressure to jack up the plane???

I was looking at a wheel yesterday and was wondering what the tin shield was that wrapped around inside the rim. I'm guessing heat shield?

Wish we could see the installation with the second camera.

Super interesting video. Hard to believe one person handling this job. Very well done. Thanks for sharing the video. What is the air pressure on this tires?

Oh I'm sorry! Could I get the white lettered stripe on the outside 😂! What thing about tire work on airplanes trucks or heavy equipment. The bigger the tires are easier it is. Because you get more assistance with cranes and cetera.

Beautiful.

Is it the same procedure for the inboard tire? Looks like the gear door would get in the way.

Hope you used the coupon when you got the jack at Harbor Freight.

Wonderful

Interesting that the air pressure from the old tire is used to operate the floor jack.

The video was cut off ?

I don’t see cord showing, that’s a good tire your pulling 😉

GREAT DOCUMENT ABOUT CHANGING THE TIRE OF AN AIRPLANE BUT WRONG MUSIC! I AM SORRY.

Nice

The music is stuck in my head now lol

Holly shit. Those tires are Huge and massive! Wwow! xD These big planes tires are like giant version of those Drag car tires lol.or a notice, I used an air-compressor air drill that makes that RAWWEEER REEEWWERR Like loud motorized drill to tighten and loosen the big bolts onthe vehicles wheels. it legit took me like 3 minutes or less. I'm legit serious and truth and honesty. On my 2015 Ford Mustang GT all 4 wheels replaced myself. I did my best to be fast with one of these Air pressure bolt drills

How many months to change that wheel of airplane!?

I’d love to know what kind of huge torque wrench that is at 8:30

Does it have a locking nut to stop it being stolen!!

Good Video........ excellent!!!!! ;-)

We in the biz call it a TIRE change.

WELL, ORANIZED PROCEDURE AND TOOL SET UP.

I like your video content but personally, I prefer no music.

I wonder what the torque specs are on the axle nut?

what about the other side wheel? seems there is no space

Mooie video Dennis, wel een beetje een kutpiano 🥴

no music next time

Do I need any license to do this job?

V.interesting thanks

May I suggest a Rubbermaid cart that you can push around so you don't have to bend over to pick up your tools. It would be better for your back.

Surely this is a two man job!!

How much time it takes for the whole process?

Absolutely surprised at power tools not bieng used at all.

What the background music lacks in harmonic diversity it makes up for in repitition.

ESPECTACULAR GRASIAS

I wonder how the little wheels of jack can carry all these weight 😂

Weight of tire ir

👍👍👍👍

Uau!!!👏👏👏 Muito show tive a oportunidade de trabalhar na aviação e participar da trocas de pneu..eu trabalhei na função Operador de Equipamentos...tinha que está sempre informado....

How much are each tire ?

So Shanelle is talking about Fight Club. Wait a minute???

No está laborando bien Porque el tiene que desinstalar llanta primero para decintalar patente?

What was the problem with the other one?

✈️️✈️️Airport

'Gives watching paint dry a run for its money

Did he FORGET that little plastic BLACK CAP over the valve stem?

No stand for axle sir

Wow. A one-man tire change. Elsewhere it takes 8 or 10.

Should really have two lads doing that job instead of one.

Dude, you practically did this wheel change alone. Where ur mechanics at ?

Music makes watching this painful. Sorry simple fix

No room for mistakes

The brake on bicycles with a New Departure brake worked the same way.

Gostei da musica de fundo, alguem me fala o nome dela

Đang khu sân bay Lào đấy

They should use a F1 spinner hub. They could change a tire in 5 min. lol

As-salamuyalaikum Hello Everyone

едить-колотить, золотник не послюнявил после подкачки.

FAA ASI ramp check; excuse me sir what paperwork are you working to?

Don't think he'll make the Ferrari F1 pit crew team somehow.

How many lug nuts does a B747 have? Yes!
