I did this kind of work in Las Vegas heat for almost two years , you guys have no idea how dangerous , exhausting and physical this is. My worst experience was changing a ballon tire on the side of the 15 freeway 1 mile away from whiskey Pete’s casino at 3am ! God bless and protect the men that do this job !
@@chaman8621have seen videos on Pakistani truck RU-vid channel, take care of yourself brother. Huge respect, the world would grind to a halt without heroes like you who fix trucks that deliver our food. Worked loading bags on 737s and A320s for 5 years myself.
Did the same thing from 1983 until 1991. I worked for two different companies during this time one was road side and just semi tires and the other was fleet service where I did both tires and mechanical work. After watching this I can say this guy knows his job. I quit and went into another line of work when my friend and coworker was killed. He was killed by a tire that had been repaired days before and fully inflated. We would swap out tires on trailers with ones that we had already repaired and inflated. Back then there were a lot more tube tires mounted on what are called Dayton Style Wheels around. He was killed while rolling the fully inflated tire he took from our stock , the person who repaired this tire was from another company and had been brought in to do some work due too a shortage of employees weeks before. The wheel had not been inspected correctly before the tire was mounted and inflated. These types of tire/ wheels have 80 lbs PSI and it has always bothered me that it had sat in a row of tires for weeks and that day it let lose. I was blessed to not have had one blow on me, but I have been witness to the power they can unleash. I was always cautious those years I worked in the field and I am lucky to have had a great teacher when I was learning. If anyone doesn't believe me how powerful a inflated tire can be, look up truck tire fails.
An example of the hard working people that keep America rolling. He works very effectively and precise and yet the public never knows or appreciates the work being done. I hope his back is not in pain when he is older.
What people don't realize when paying for service like this is they are not paying for the 30m it took the job to be done. They are paying for the 10 years of experience that allows the job to be done in 30m!

I have been in the business 40 years this guy gets it done. The yellow bar he is using is called the Wonder Bar, that thing is a lifesaver. Good Job !!!
It is a pleasure to watch a true professional tire mechanic at work. This guy has a dedicated place on his truck for every tool and he puts it back in the same place when he is done. He does not have to look for ANYTHING. This ain't his first rodeo boys and girls. Look and learn cause this is how it is supposed to happen.
Your welcome, Denio! Changing the tire on a semi truck is no simple task. When it comes to the down and dirty job of replacing tires on a semi truck/trailer, the job can get rather complicated without the proper equipment. But, with skill and precision, I watched as you tactfully removed the wheel from the trailer before prying the tire off and skillfully sliding another tire back in its place. I know wrestling with truck tires is very physical. To be honest, you definitely have it down to a science. ¡¡Excelente trabajo!! :-) P.S. Me voy a ir a dormir. ¡Buenas noches!
Mad props to you man talk is cheap for the haters on here those who are saying they can do better are all talk semi tires are no joke he is changing multiple tires not just one I bet more than half of you can’t even pick one up
@@thardyryll he never secured the the energy source, no wheel chocks, hearing or eye protection. Ever see an airride suspension shift while elevated? He didn't have a tire cage while inflating the tires... I can go on and point out more violations if you'd like, but it's most likely unwanted.
Good job brother. I did a Diesel tech program and I still remember how heavy those tires were. Take care of your back brother. Once again, good job and keep up the good work.
This Guy did Great... I am a 3rd. Generation Mechanic, and I have a few suggestions where he can be even more productive. I think the back and forth is killing his time. He could get a Bucket, Dolly that carries a set of tools per side or tire set. He could have 2, 3 hoses feeding air to each station. He could've parked his truck (in reverse) at the back of the Trailer. He needs to organize his tires on the truck so doesn't have to rearrange at every stop. ...despite all of this shortcomings, kudos for a Job Well Done.
The tires that he is installing are FCR-Trailers, which are shallow Bandag trailer retreads 11/32nds ..... longest lasting retread on the market. He is doing pretty good, I work for the largest tire dealer in Michigan and in the 90's I was a service driver, the top 3 of us would change 4 tires in 20 minutes...... paperwork included. That kind of time was was only achieved with Hub Pilot wheels, the same kind as shown in this video. The other two styles took longer by a few minutes, stud Pilot are the worse because they have 10 barrel nuts that hold the inner wheel on and then beveled nuts holding the outer, as they got older they would stick together creating additional steps. Back then we would use ether and a lighter to seat the bead, we could also change the outer tires without using a jack or removing the wheel ..... about an 8 minute job including paperwork..... good stuff. He made a major mistake in this video, Hub Pilot wheels nuts have a critical torque specification of 475lbs and he didn't use a torque bar .... not even a stick on the gun. If he hammers them down way over he risks stretching the stud threads and stripping the nut, if he falls short he is at serious risk of a wheel coming off while in operation. If you notice, his air pressure and/or gun is running weak and that is why he had to set the gun down for a minute and then finish...... he had to let the compressor build air pressure back up, very dangerous!!!
He will pay the price at a young age for being the best at his profession just like me retired at 38 2 blown knees and blown back was it worth it hell yea at least i was the best just like he is and nobody can take that away rock on my man until you cant no more enjoy the ride!!
Good work man, changed thousands of tires in my day. Although I wish I had that long bar you had haha! Learned with two tire tool bars back in the 90's.
In the military we used a wheel dolly to pull dual tires out on Army 2/1/2 ton trucks . This is when they came out with the hub still attached. Still a pain but better than the alternative.
I've, just started my new job at a truck shop,just how I do it,jump on em,I love it and makes me feel great to help the truck drivers get back on the road 😶land o lakes, WI USA.thanks for the pep rally.
This guy is special~!! Also he is young and fit and is making someone a lot of money so I hope they are paying him what he is worth~!! What the hell is over 800 people disliking this for. They must be the walking dead~!! Thanks for the show as it was impressive~!!
This Man is a complete professional! He knows exactly what needs to be done and when. Not to mention, beasting round these heavy tires and wheels like they are nothing.
Always underpaid overworked and unappreciated. I can tell u from experience pretty cut throat industry and people wonder why there a shortage in mechanics but ill never quit into deep just gotta go farther down the rabbit hole
I have to say this is best instructor on youtube so far thank you Sir this is where I come learn for many different tasks but this man is efficient, save, fast and step by step
seriously impressed... this guy is a hard worker. Great Video ! I also hope he gets paid by the job, and not by the hour because he is kicking some a$$ and probably not getting paid for it
I used to work on hiway coaches and the have an outer and an inner nut, (Budd Wheels) sometimes the outer nut would be rusted on and the inner nut would come loose and you would have to use a special wrench (Dog) to hold the inner nut while trying to undo the outer one. Also a rim sometimes would be stuck on and you would have to beat if off with a sledge hammer from the inside while laying on your side, even after you heated it up. Talk to a tireman if you get a chance and you will get all kinds of stories.
yo, it takes me almost a half hour, and im a tire tech with 5.5 years experience... youre doin good, trust me! protip: vicegrips are your best friend with bike rims.
That gold bar is the money maker. Iv done this for years with 2 long pry bars and a sledgehammer. The gold bar is the real magic. The dude is a good average worker earning a blue collar paycheck like everyone should.
You may wish to consider becoming an industrial engineer no wasted steps, no need to search for tools, but it still is a considerable amount of back breaking work. My hat goes off to you. There is a lot to be learned from your process.
like a boss ...those tires are hella heavy ..pertty quick for a one man road call...me & my homie knocked out 4 tires in less then 10 mins..@ the shop thought..
I run heavy equipment for a living I see tire guys fight tires all the time and all I can say is he's done that a few times very smooth,very clean,made it look easy and I know it's not, That gents is one hell of a tire man right there.And looks like he's having fun.
Hola ! Desde Argentina . Amigo eres Campeon , yo se cuanto pega ese trabajo , yo lo he hecho y se nota bien que eres un profesional. Cuida esa esplada . Saludos . Gustavo
Bad ass bro keep up the good work. Reminds me of the many road calls on various road conditions and farm fields. Gotta get the job done and move on to the next job safely. Brought back memories.
This video is sooo inspiring. I had a flat the other day, it also just took me thirty minutes..to find my tire wrench. I gotta clean out my trunk...then it took me also just thirty minutes to figure out how the jack works. hmm...so you have to rock that lever MORE than once. Got it.
It required a strong man like him to do the job......Under 30 minutes is definitely a stressed job let alone he was doing it alone without any help....! Well done buddy.........!
Bravo! well done, not a step wasted; been there, done that... 100's of times...Waupaca Truck stop in January sub-zero weather (the hammer/zip of impact driver, the clang of tire irons hitting the ground.. even the fart of disconnecting airlines... setting bottle jacks in the snow, sucked... brought flashbacks) thanks for the video!
good job but I can help you. Back braces not needed. it heats up your back. More on this. when you jack you can do it from a squat position not laying down. use a flip block for more support. your jack is extended too high. your gun is old sell it or rebuild it it has no bag and uses up too much air. for instance mine will take off all 10 without starting my compressor. you have the correct bar for pulling off the wheels good job. when removing valve do not lean tires against each other brake dust is hazardous. put the two wheel faces together you can roll two tires at once towards your vehicle saving time. go around the back to save time do not duck under. I can see why you need a back brace. throw bar under. shut off compressor when not in use. lean tires together to dismount first bead . like you did when you leaned them against your front tire. hit all 3. hit top of tire with the backside of hammer. while they're all lined up. never use spray. waste of time you use paint brush. Little bit top only. Kick bottom it will run to the bottom. good work with the golden tool. always change valves you make money with valves they cost you $2 you charge 5. knock them out with a homemade punch. install with speed wrench. Craftsman type not piece of crap. do not knee tires on. use the bar. put bar in stepping in wheel put bar against chest step over Tire. good job airing up Tire with retreader valve. and long Core tool. do not step in front of tire put valve that top always to the left of you stand at tread and reach with your right hand only to load the valve core. I saw the repair at the top you are standing in front of. remove stickers for a professional job. your tightening sequence was off. you started well. top. bottom. then try bottom right or left go back to the top right or left. far right far left then you will only have 4 left Kriss Kross those. with a good gun you can then speed around all 10 for torque. hope this helps you. I too work by myself and for a company. Tire man since 1989. 56 and still going at it. loader tires. Anything you can name that has a tire. I have done it. anything.
buy a 1/2 gun. they consume less air. require less air to get same power and.... they are just as strong as a 1 inch most of the time. unless you have a short 3/4 air hose
Jon Rheaume the brace helps especially with the gun. The heat aint hurting anything. That gun will wear your back out and the brace will help advoid injury to your back
Who the hell voted thumbs down.That must be his competitor . Sure hope he gets paid what he is worth. Great job, from an old guy that tried busting tires for a living, after getting out of the Army after twenty years. Law enforcement paid a lot better, plenty of overtime and never a lay off. Retired now and don't miss it.
