Hi chris just a quick tip that may help i watched a bloke with a race truck use 2 rachet straps hock from the side rail into the holes in the wheel rim to lift the wheel on to the studs in sandy conditiond

@robertbunker8695 2 года назад

This might have been mentioned, but (pro tip), with split rims you don't need to remove the rim from the truck. Just jack it up, pull the retaining ring and pull the tire off the rim. Then do your repair and slide it back on. We use a 6' bar and a block to lift and slide it back on. We even do big loader tires that way.

@mitchellblais3408 2 года назад

One great safety tip for changing split rims without a safety cage: You should only inflate the tyre to about 5psi (until the flange seats) then bolt it on. Once it is bolted on the vehicle then inflate remotely on the other side of the vehicle if possible. Then if anything goes wrong you won't have wheel components flying at your face! Happy camping and stay safe 🤙

@jasonmann5019 2 года назад

Hello Chris & Ange, I have another tip for you because l am not sure if you did this. I know you couldn't find the leak so your assessment could be spot on but this might be useful for next time. Mark the tyre with chalk where the valve is situated before disassemble. Then when you locate the leak on the tube match it back up on the tyre by just resting it on top. By doing this you can get a general idea where the tyre was punctured. Then carefully rub your hand along the inside of the tyre in that general area in particular, but also the entire inside area just to be sure for the offending foreign item. By doing this you can feel more confident that you are not fitting the repaired tube, or a replacement, back in while the foreign item is still in the tyre. If you don't do this you might find the tube will get punctured again. Hopefully l explained this well enough. Jason from Melbourne Victoria.

@barry.m9681 2 года назад

Great show travel safely 😁 👍🍺 a couple of small tips Carry a 4way valve tool and extra valves . It may be a faulty valve in the tube and the tool can re-tap internal valve thread . Removing valve to air down often weakens them. Use a few ratchet straps around the tyre over the split rim locking ring to hold it down when airing up in case it flys off Use ratchet straps to raise the wheel up onto the hub or you can use a few metre long or longer bars . Leverage makes a big difference. a long handle shovel also works Definitely use a jack stand Did you permanently wire your diesel transfer pump on your dash board yet

@twentyfoursyc 2 года назад

Plus one to checking the valve core. I've had a few on them fail over the years. Each time that they failed, they only leaked at low tyre pressure. Made it hard to diagnose.

@Motumatai3 2 года назад

Well done on the repair job. There's plenty of haters out there re split rim set ups. But the Aussie outback has seen over 70 years of trucks and utes wearing split rims. They are just so practical for the sort of use you are putting the Mog to. Just pull them to pieces every couple of years and give them a wire brush and a bit of TLC. Also, be very liberal with talcum powder when reinserting the inner tube. It helps enormously to permit the inner tube and tyre to move independently of one another without chaffing when at low tyre pressures. Another tip when no axle stand is available. Chock the other rear tyre (plus put in 4WD diff lock). Logs, rocks, or the proper Mog tyre chocks that the Mog came with from Germany. If you were thinking of going the battery operated rattle gun for spinning the wheel nuts on and off with, think of going with a brand that also make a small battery chainsaw and drill. Very useful additions when in remote countryside

@UnimogAdventures 2 года назад

Good job on the tyre, Iain just changed all five of our tyres over to the new wheels, and the split rims are a lot easier than solid wheels. Iain made a jack stand out of a laminated wood, to work together with the jack, not replace it. It is also flat, so packs away nicely. Iain also says it is best to put it in 4wd and diff locks on when jacking it up, we made that mistake once and the truck rolled forward and fell off the jack when the wood under the jack broke. We damaged a portal and the truck ended up on a flatbed - $1000 for the 300km trip home, but we had insurance so just the $200 excess.

@UnimogAdventures 2 года назад

I made the jack stand out of LVL, about 90mm x 240mm wide and shaped to fit the axle. I made it from 2 x 240x45 LVL, glued and screwed together. If you go with 3 x 240x45mm LVL, it will work for your truck, as long as you use it with the jack, not as a replacement. As Trish wrote, put it in 4wd and lock the diffs, as that will help stop it rolling. You are lucky you picked up that it was leaking, as a slower leak would have made the tyre overheat and destroy it. We have a Tyre Pressure Monitor, it has saved us a couple of times giving us warning of punctures and leaks, long before we realised it was going flat, the alarm was going off. You will need something with an external aerial, as we found that we sometimes did not get signal from the sensor, and our truck is a lot smaller than yours. It cost $400 with internal sensor and the external aerial, well worth is epecially given the cost of a tyre. You would need the external sensor, due to the tubes. Good luck with your next bit of the trip, so many great places to visit down there. Iain

You might want to get a cordless impact gun. That bar is bending pretty far and if it fails, it's nice to have a backup. The impact gun is also nice when it comes to spinning lugs on and off and is super handy with anything kind of bolt needed work, and you've got a ton of them! Nice work.

@gogogeedus 2 года назад

they can break that type of breaker bar but the main thing to avoid that is grease or antisieze on the threads.theres no other way around it. lubing the threads also get them tighter because the threads don't bind.

@johncarter9054 Год назад

Yeah, a good impact is priceless for many reasons in this type of vehicle and situation. Chris looked like he was enjoying the workout however and I suspect there is already a good impact somewhere in the Moog.

Hi there guys Next time in this particular instance check the valve core first before doing anything. When deflating / inflating tyres these are easily damaged. I've had the same issue twice. Chris the way that brace bar bends you may wish to look at purchasing a battery operated impact driver. Just a thought. Love your work; travel safe . Regards Steve H

@1sheinz 2 года назад

Great work on getting the tire back on, it's a BIG job for sure. One thing i have picked up over the decades 4 wheeling is too use about 1/2 bottle of talcum powder in each wheel of that size when you are using a tube inside. It does an amazing job of keeping the tube in place when run at lower pressures. I LOVE all that your doing now and look forward to the next vid each week. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.

@TheDogsBox 2 года назад

Instead of breaking your back and that long as bar.. Check out something called a "Torque Multiplier" And at 17:00 a ratchet strap from the flat bed under the tire and back up to the flat bed might make a cradle that you could use to rachet the wheel up high enough to push it onto the lugs. That or weld on some eyelets in the right spot to form the cradle.

@DFDuck55 2 года назад

I know the joys of changing tubes and mounting tires on split rims. My father was a milkman from the 1950s till mid 1970s when I took over the family business. The 5 ton milk truck had split rims with duelies in the rear. The nice thing with duelies is if you only need to work on the outside wheel you could just run up onto a 2 inch board with the inside tire to lift the outside one high enough to get it off. No jack required. Even back then it was difficult to impossible in the U.S. to find a tire shop that would work on a split rim, so we had to do it ourselves.

@peterf3109 2 года назад

Hey mate I grew up with an old man as a truck driver . When youvuse the tyre levers to get the bead lock off , cross them over. This allows you the use the bottom one as a l pivot point making it far easier.

@bethanidudley3262 2 года назад

My name is Bethani Dudley, ) & I used to drive big rigs on down to bicycles) & I live in the USA & if you want to stop having flat tires, put a product for your tire / & tube called SLIME. This fluid is green in the color & you don't have to take the tire off the rime. This stuff WILL seal the tire & puncture while the tire is still on the vehicle, you just have to rotate that tire that is going flat while it's off the ground a couple inches. What you are trying to do is help the slime go all over the inside of the tire/tube. Slowly Hand spins its wheel assembly. Air up the tire/tube after about 5 minutes to make sure you get good coverage. GOOD LUCK !!!

@squidkid2 2 года назад

Make sure the inside of the tire is completely clean of any small stones or debris. When the tube is inflated those small objects get trapped between the inside of the tire and the outside of the tube. Then when the tire flexes the small objects can easily rub a hole in the tube. Stand the tire up so all the debris falls to the bottom and carefully clean it all out. Run your hands all over the inside of the tire to make sure there isn't any debris imbedded in the inside of the tire.

Guys, good job on the tire repair. You’ve now graduated👩‍🎓👨‍🎓from Big A_ _ tire 🛞 University. Chris, it was very smart of you to learn how to and practiced on the original tire mounting 👍. Now for my 10¢s, which I’m certain you have it already on your shopping list. 1. A pair of jack stands 2. Longer tire iron bars to walk the tires on to the lugs 3. A spare breaker bar. Watching you breaking the wheel lugs loose showed there was quite a bit of flex on the breaker bar. They usually let go at the pívot point where the socket connects. All in all, another great video guys, looking forward to the next one.

I won't complain when roadside assistance takes a while to show up for a flat 😁 😁 Funny watching this as the last major flat I had to deal with was years ago on my Dad's monster truck camper. The wheels were painted the same colour as yours. Only problem was the nuts were painted on the wheel by the previous owner. Broke the wrench trying to get them off. Fortunately a friend had a garage close by, he came out to us and tried getting the nuts off but gave up and used a air canister to inflate the tire so we could get back to the garage and use the impact gun.One thing you might want to consider is a can of flat repair that you can inject into the tube. HORRIBLE junk if you don't have a tube but if you are stuck someplace and cannot change the tire it works.

@TheRaptor1967 2 года назад

Don't want to contradict you, but are you sure it wasn't just the valve? You can get tools that can not only pull the valve, but also clean / recut the thread. Valve threads can get messed up with you are taking them out all the time to air down. Their is a product by ARB (and others) that is a "Tire Deflator with Gauge". You probably already know about em from your Jeep days. They keep the valve encapsulated and out of the sand / muck. Great for deflating the tyres quickly and not introducing sand / grit / mug to the valve. Means the valve thread stays good on the Valve and the tube valve stalk. Get two so you can air down two tires at once. With practice you can even do two at a time by yourself. I've tried the Staun deflators, but with the big tires, they take too long and you would need several sets of 4 to air down to different levels. Lookup "ARB Tire Deflator" and "STAUN Deflator" if you dont know what I'm talking about. Also, carry 10 or so valves with you in your spares box.

@trevorpitts2247 2 года назад

It is a skill to use the two tyre levers efficiently to get the split rim off. ID the indent on the split rim near where the rim meets. One end of the tyre lever fits perfectly in there and you lever that over then pop the second lever under the ring to hold the split rim up... then remove the first lever and work your way around the split rim...... don't over think that you can do it better just do the process. If you can carry a milk crate to sit the rim on (without the split rim) and usually the tyre will simply fall of the rim without all the pushing and pulling of the rim from the tyre. The weight of the tyre works in your favour.

I think you did 100% the right thing in doing those 5 tyre changes yourself. There ain't no tyre cages in the wop wops, so you got to do what you got to do....or possibly die of thirst.......and the practise is definitely a lifesaver. I say good call! BUT you got an awesome compressor on that truck, why no air gun, air jack etc? I know you have muscles for both of you, but why strain yourself? Mind you, I bet the Mrs enjoys watching those muscles bulging, and it is damn good for ratings! I will have to think of something else to get my ratings up when I do my videos. I have just bought a U1700, and I am finding your videos are an inspiration and a great incentive to get the truck up to your standard asap! A couple of mods I will do is put a portable, 2000KG winch mounting points above each wheel station, so the Mrs can mount the tyre again easily. A second is an air jacking points on all the axles and, crucially, two spares, so at least I might not have to worry about sorting out a flat tyre straight away (unless I get two punctures).

@sebastianhugely7035 2 года назад

Try leaving the rim on the truck next time you can make a quick clamp over if that ring comes off you’re protected and you can spin it.

@MobWithGuns 2 года назад

this video was randomly suggested on YT for me. casual thoughts while watching the tire repair, I'm assuming you know the dangers of split rims when airing back up the tires and such. have you thought about a mechanical air compressor such as a DIY York compressor on the engine or if the truck uses air brakes, to tap into the factory air system. i would recommend a 4ft wood 2x4 or possibly heavy truck tire spoon, to allow you leverage under the tire to lift it back up. or what about letting that bottle jack down a little bit to allow the tire to go back on easier and then jack it back up to finish tightening down the lugs IE make the truck come to you instead of you brute forcing the tire up to it.

Regarding heavy sand driving and seeing you're equipped with beautiful winches, have you considered carrying a good sand anchor for those times when Maxx Traxx aren't adequate?

If you take the inner tube out of the tire and hold it under water you will see bubbles in the spot where there is a leak mate!

You should drop it on the side with the holes that will make the bead on the other side break

@markshoenus2591 2 года назад

And I thought changing out the TPMS sensors in the wheels of my F150 last week was a challenge. He's right tho, the reason was to learn how to break a bead and change out tires without taking it to a shop. Plus, I saved $300.

@RassieKariuki 2 года назад

Safety tip, you need to put some blocks on the other tires to prevent them from rolling.

@mikeskidmore6754 2 года назад

Put the Inner Tube on soapy water .. have tire leak detector in a spray bottle and spray it on the tube.. It will make air bubbles where your leak is ..

@trevorpitts2247 2 года назад

Some observations: I noted you have the original tyre wrench ( and I assume the bar) use it instead of that lightweight chrome one. When that snaps under pressure something will snap in your back/shoulder. Have a look at the torque setting of the wheel nuts when you get home.... they should not be that tight. I noted that the tyre you fixed did not have a rubber dust ring inside the tyre,,, see original Army/mog wheel/tyre combo if you have one. As others have said get a four way valve tool and remove the core to remove all the air quickly

@TheOutFit 2 года назад

Hi Trevor, we have a dust ring - I have put a note in the video to mention we didn't film that part!

@dougmyers3635 2 года назад

I was wondering if it was legal to set some snares for some Rabbit Stew? That was some boss work on that Tire. I agree w/ your approach of sucking up learning how to do things, so when you are out in the wilds you have the peace of mind of knowing how to succeed w/ these class of challenges.
