Dear friends and followers welcome back to my channel and to a brand new video about "How to change an airplane tire"
As soon as a plane comes to a stop at it’s parking position, the maintenance team will instantly inspect all 18 tires for their wear and any damages. If any of the tires is in any way damaged or lacking in tire profile, as shown here, the mechanics take note of that tire and order a new one from the tire shop.
They then come around with this changing trailer which can carry two new tires and comes with all the necessary equipment to make the swap.
Before the new tire gets mounted, the safety and transport lid needs to be removed and the pressure needs to be checked, in case the tire had longer downtime after it’s mount onto the wheel rim.
Therefore the refill valve is opened and the pressure is adjusted to 220 PSI with Nitrogen. Why Nitrogen? Check out the video in the right hand corner.
Then the mechanic gets this pneumatically powered hydraulic jack and places it under the landing gear wheel bogie and what happens next is so clever. They attach this tube onto the valve of the used tire and connect it to the jack. The high air pressure in the tire aids the jack as it lifts up the wheel bogie. This accelerates the lifting process immensely, and is a win win, as the tire will be released from it’s pressure after the change anyways. As the hydraulic jack extends, there is a given hoist point to prevent the jack from sliding off. Keep in mind the 747 landing gear tilts once it leaves the ground, so in this case only the two rear tires will lift up whilst the ones in front remain on ground. Whilst the jack is pumping up the rear part of wheel bogie the mechanic removes the protective wheel nut cover.
....
Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this video!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe

Using the old tire pressure for the pneumatic/hydraulic jack is so elegant and clever. Thanks for this awesome video
except if the old tire is burst, I guess they have a compressor (maybe use the plane pneumatics?) for these occasions
@@ThePulmentinum they dont use compressed air, instead nitrogen from cylinders if they need to top up wheel. In-case of tire burst nitogen from cylinders can also be used or if limited pressure from the cylinders they can manually pump the alligator jack.
@@ThePulmentinum They hand pump it.
@@ThePulmentinum If the old tire "burst" it will take more than 15 min, a LOT more. Most likely plane will be OTS ( out of service) as a blown tire causes all kinds of damage shedding rubber chunks, the axle mate will require changing, full gear inspection, and most likely there is a problem with the anti-skid which caused the tire to fail anyway.
Yes, actually manual also said that tire must release its pressure before remove it, so use it as a source of lifting the jack is much more convenient way for mechanic 👍
hi Captain Joe! i’m a 16 year old girl from Australia and I’ve been watching your videos since i was 11! I just earned my glider license today and i’ll be starting my ppl training in 3 weeks!! I just wanted to say thank you so much! your videos have kept me motivated in my dream of becoming an airline pilot and have helped me tremendously, I will be forever grateful 🥰
You can also learn a lot from "74 Gear". He's a 747 pilot that tells a lot about flying and what you should do in certain situations. Good luck with your ppl.
Congratulations on your glider license!
@@motorTranz thank you!
Wish we had any service for learning this at 16 yo in India
Lots wishes and prayers🛐 for you Matilda!🙂
May you have a fulfilling professional and personal life.
Stay focused, stay calm, stay safe and enjoy life.😇
It is super cool that your company lets you film behind the scenes like this! Thank you so much!
I was a CIT fueler at LAS Nevada. The aircraft maintenance company we had was CAS. Like every other department on the ground, we had a turn-time for the flight which was typically around an hour or so, unless it was scheduled to depart later. I've witnessed plenty of tire changes, and always had to communicate with them before I started fueling the AC.
Thanks! My 747 had a flat tire and of course it happened in the middle of nowhere. Your tutorial was very clear and helped a lot. I was back on the road in a matter of minutes!
Yeah right!!!
I hate when that happens. Boeing gives you those crappy little spares too.
There's always AAA so make sure your annual payment is paid.theyll try to sell you a new battery when they come out.lol
@@edwardmoore5325 Damn right! Especially since I don't have a Pilot's license. I can't fly so I'll have to drive it over the road to get anywhere.
that happened to me with an US Airways A320, back in 2009. I decided to land on water so then I could change the tire more difficultly, but there was no YT tutorial on how to change an A320 tire, so I just left it there and evacuated the plane.
Awesome video, as always. As for the nitrogen in the tires, Ken over at his Aero Savvy blog also discussed that once before and it was really cool to learn!
Careful Joe, now that Dev saw your uniforms he can sneak around the airport.
@@adriansrealm 👍😂👍 all aprons should be SIDA areas, thankfully.
@@DeviantOllam So you'll need a week to 10 days prep?
@@adriansrealm if anyone's hiring me, I won't turn that job down. :-)
Well, while it's an extremely rare gas, being only 80% of our atmosphere, it is relatively unreactive as a gas with things like tires.
Seriously though, for "inert" (read: noble gases), argon is a rarer gas, being around 1% of the atmosphere, so when something like oxygen is present as a purified gas or a few other reactive items are present, argon is a cheap gas to use. Hence, we also see it in MIG welding.
When one wants a gas that's a pain to safely store or store long term, hydrogen and helium generate all kinds of friends, as they can diffuse through so many containers.
When one wants an exceptionally corrosive and lethal gas, hand me a can of beans.
I'll just get my hat...
But, on a serious note, notice how easily that tire was spun by the mechanic? That's some really high quality bearings in use there! Good thing, given a 500 pound tire gets spun up at landing speed from zero instantly!
I saw a man push a 727 that had passed its stop mark by hand, as all of the push back tugs were in use and they really needed to get the jetway to the plane. Had the crew release brakes, he pushed for a few seconds and the aircraft rolled back to where it was needed, brakes set and the flight departed on time.
Captain Joe, this was awesome!! In the early 1970's it took ages to change the VARIG B-727 tires in the middle of nowhere here in Brazil, especially during the tropical rainy season, with all the heat, bugs, and mud. It looks like an effortless task nowadays as shown in the video. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic videos as always Captain. Its so great that you give exposure to people the general public don't really think about - the maintenance crews. Its is these heroes that look after these machines and ensure all of us are safe way up there and when we touch down. Shout out to the maintenance crews all over the world!
Great Video nice equipmnet but 3 mistakes were made according to the Aircraft Maintenace Manual ( AMM) chapter 32-41-01 ... (1) Tyre should not be fully inflated prior to istallation to avoid potential burst . (2) A thread protector was not used ( prevents damage to axle threads and bearing seals ) (3) wheel should be rotated in the same direction of wheel nut while tightening in this case clockwise not counterclockwise .... Overall they did a great job
Yeah, I was like. "Where is your thread protector?" 🤦♂
I work on 767's and had another station change a tire and didn't use it. They damaged the plating on the axles just past the threads. Had to had NDI check it for cracks and the plating shop to replate the area.
Is this on the 747 only? Because on the 777, I can't find step 1 and 3 in the AMM. Step 3 it only states turning the wheel, not which direction. It's just checking if the bearings are not stuck, so the direction doesn't seem like a problem right? Oh and they didn't put the parking braking.
Thank you so much!! My 747 just got a flat tire and I had to fly to the side of the sky-street. I am just super happy that I found your Tutorial.
Your a pilot?
As an airline pilot I’ve never watched an actual tire change. That was incredibly informative. Love the maintenance type videos! Well done.
Do you know any funding flight schools
👍
Mmm
Wife back door not allowed ect @@tonypasma1707

One of the primary ways to inspect the brake for wear is the rod sticking out on the aft lower portion of the brake caliper you showed. You'll notice it is sticking quite far beyond the limit indicating eyelet/support that is a few inches from the caliper which means that's a fairly new brake.
Thanks for the video, it's always nice to see the maintainers getting a small shoutout.
Wow!
Thanks for these insights
Hey the maintainers are the guys that keep us all safe 8) Pilot flies a few hours the mechanica are the ones that keep us in the air 8) God bless them all !
I would like to see a video on a brake change. I know that the wheel and tire would have to come off but what other steps are there for the brake?
@@strangelove9608 and there are plenty of crash videos that cover the rare times that they don't do their jobs correctly, either from unapproved parts and procedures or incorrect parts being supplied.
Which is why they cross check each other so often.
@@spvillano oony
Thank you for this cool video.👍
As a aircraft maintenance engineer, I’m glad to see Captain Joe share our everyday things! All the best✈️
this video is so interesting! :D
really happy to see you making videos around Cargolux's stuff!
Nice to see you!
Oh wow, you're actually the company.
@@electricheartpony nono haha i wish lol
Its so happy to see that this channel has got you so much in your career. From just a hobby to now having your employer asking you to make videos about your dream aircraft is so so great to see.
Love these recent videos about the technical side of aviation, cheers to all the maintenance engineers and technicians out there, the hidden heroes!
Yeah I love it when crew enter flight deck and I tell them to wait in galley until engineering is finished!
It's very fun for me to watch these videos. I live not even 2km from the Cargolux hangar, right behind the forest in the background 😁. On top of that, I see the runaway from the "tower" I work in. It's amazing how incredible the logistics behind the planes are. It's not enough to build a good plane for it to be successful, you need all those tools and knowledge behind
Cool!
Thank You Joe for this interesting video. I remember one occasion a long time ago. I was doing my "military" (civil-) service in Sweden as a civilian airport firefighter. We used to sitt and watch videos before going to bed at our station, just to wait for the last plane landing. This night we heard a loud bang and the windows where shaking ... all of us rushed up and prepared for an emergency. One of us looked out the window and saw nothing unusual ... the MD80 was slowing down and started taxying to the terminal as usual(?) So we did not go to our truck. But wondered what caused the bang. Then the telephone called ... it was from the tower, and they asked us to go out and sweep up all the rubber from the runway ... The airport was not so big so we had jobbs that is maybe not normal for firefighters ... This was one of them. The other was to check the friction of the runway in winter during weekends (when the ordinary guys did not work) ... another job was to control the lights in the morning and sometimes check visibility, when the airport was foggy ... :) I loved that time and miss it. There was also a flying museum at the airport with one old P51 Mustang ... :)
Sorry for a long comment ... Now you have read a chapter of my memoirs ;)
At least you did not have to go find the remains of the animal that wandered on the runway. We got most of the little Steenbok in the wheel, complete with the baby, well cooked. Wash off the wheel, strip it to replace the torn off ABS wiring harness and sensors, and brake lines, and get the plane ready to fly in the next hour, because it had to go up then. The hanger queen in the other door was the donor, it was just missing the engine otherwise, so we could do that in the daytime when stores was open.
I have been away from your channel for a while. So glad and just about time your company is sponsoring you. Much deserved. You're brilliant!
Thanks Joe! Finally understood how to change the tires on my boeing 747. I lost the user manual a while back and this video is very helpful.
I was a crew chief on heavies in the USAF and this video brought back memories. It's a pretty simple process but it can be dangerous, and like pretty much anything on an aircraft, you don't want to screw it up. You're dealing with a lot of weight and very high air pressure and some really ugly things can happen.
These guys make it look easy, but there is an art to rolling those MLG tires on and off the trailer or in and out of the racks in the shop without losing control of them and/or dropping them. Aside from the damage and/or injury a rolling, out of control MLG wheel-tire assembly can cause, dropping one of those awkward, nearly 600 pound monsters requires at least three men men to dead lift it back to upright again. Dropping one will not exactly make you the most popular guy on the crew that day and the others will not let you soon forget it. I don't know about on a 747, but on the heavy jets I'm familiar with you don't want to forget to insure the brakes are set prior to pulling the wheel/tire off. If they're not set or can't be set due to no available power or hydraulic pressure, you'll "drop" the brake, and those multi-segmented rotors will have to be "jigged" and THEN the brakes set prior to installing the new wheel/tire. Unintentionally dropping a brake is another thing that will make you an extremely unpopular individual on the crew that day.
Fully agree with You, but I am surprised they forgot to install mlg axle thread Protector, one of most important thing during wheels/Brakes removal/Installation on a/c 😜
@@davidecaprio4667 NOBODY use those things. You would get laughed off the line of you showed up with one of those
@@justing42 nobody laughed at me for more than 10 years mate :)
Hi Joe, great video, very instructive!
Note that the main tires of B748 (at least the brand of the ones shown in the video) achieve much more than a hundred landings before needing to be replaced.
The jack is a very clever design indeed!
Man this entire process is both fascinating and brilliant. Thank you for this insight
Interesting video! I didn’t realize how many steps there were to change an airplane tire!
Thank you for all the time you put into making videos like this!
Thank you very much! My 747 needed new gear but it was too expensive to professionally change them so I made it on my own using your tutorial!
💀
Amazing tutorial but one step was missed. Cleaning, inspection and re-greasing of the axle. I remember many nights doing tons of tire changes. One night a T7 had 5 of its tires changed that night.
And the thread protector
What about tyre pressure sensor? do you swap or code in a new one?
@@MrPronoz On airplanes with factory tire pressure sensors, they are almost always wired. The sensor screws onto the valve stem and the signal is sent through a rotary transformer in the hub. This is due to complex certification issues with batteries and radio signals.
@@straightpipediesel I noticed there was no wire in the video and a metal (?) cover. Is that a dash 8 thing? I left the industry just as the -8 was coming in.
@@ImperrfectStranger My understanding is the -8 doesn't have a normal in flight TPMS, instead you can optionally get a unit that fits over the valve stem and can be read wirelessly at close range using a handheld device, obviously only on the ground.
I never thought I'd find changing a tire interesting...thanks Captain Joe, that was very interesting! Unreal how huge & heavy those tires are. Everyone's part in keeping those planes flying is so important.
This job is the duty's of Flight Engineer, what the F**k Captain Joe is doing there ?!Me don't know,Ha,Ha/ Hi Joe
This video is so educational but entertaining. It's good to know that you are doing what you are doing for people like us who doesn't get a chance to come in contact with the tarmac sometimes depending on where we have landed or the type of plane we are getting on.
What a pleasure to watch professionals on the job! Excellent episode; keep up the good work!
during their removal/installation they didn't install the axle thread protector which a basic safety requirement in wheel replacement. it prevents damage to the axle threads and prevents the axle threads scraping the inner surface of the wheel bearings and i am not sure with boeing but on airbus it is specifically stated on the amm to turn the wheel on the same direction of torque to compensate on the torque friction.
Wouldn't be the first bad safety decision by Boeing lately.
It’s also for Boeing 747 required.
Doing a task too often makes you start loosing some steps, its not ideal but that is how it is in aviation.
@@MrBillboeing yeah i thought so, so this guys need a briefing form from their QA or re-training (",)
Aircraft Maintenance Manual Chapter 32 ;-) never do a job without it. Values and practices can change all the time.
Great video Joe!!! The behind the scenes content is awesome. Thanks to you and Cargolux for making it possible.
Surprisingly a lot more interesting than first thought. Thanks
Hey cpt how's it going, ironically the hardest part of changing a tyre is to set the brakes to secure the brake disks in a centered position so that they don't drop.
As if you don't it makes it extremely difficult to install the new tire assembly.
Iv seen many new engineers forget that part,
Great video Joe, stay safe
Ah yes, nothing like levering the brakes back into place with a screwdriver for 40 minutes...
He also missed greasing of the axel before pushing the replacement wheel into position. This is to ensure the roller bearings inner race slides effortlessly. The FAA once busted a friend of mine for using the wrong axel grease on a 767. Bearing grease was wrong
@@III_Nick_III It’s not that hard to put the brake disks back in order if the brake disks slip down. I have had a lot of experience doing that, until I learned to put the brakes on first. The big problem was changing the wheel at the gate with pax onboard. Kicking off the brakes to spin the tire means the airplane moves just a bit with the pax standing. Just enough to lock the chocks in place. So when you get ready to leave, you have to jerk the plane forward, then wait while everyone removes the chocks.
Ahhhh I miss the good old days of spending Christmas working on a cold rainy night. I am retired. Thank you.
So let me get this straight. You have 18 tires on the plane, you haul cargo... you are a certified 18 wheeler. From this land trucker to you sky trucker fly safe. Also could you do a video on how the brakes work on these planes? They look super interesting!
You can get a good look at the brakes at 4:52. The parts with the tabs sticking out are the brake rotors, those tabs are how they interface with the wheel. Between the rotors are the actual brake pads. It's a big stack, with alternating pads and rotors. When the brakes are applied, the whole stack is squeezed together with hydraulic pressure.
@Zach Pare Normally they are Hydraulically activate, multiple piston setup, alternating between several pairs of stators and rotators. Stators don't move and the rotators get keyed to the rim
Very interesting, Captain Joe, thank you! I enjoyed seeing all the equipment used in this process.
I’ve done many wheel changes on the 747-400 , and it’s still nice to watch it being done.
What do they do with the old tires? Can they be purchased?
@@wolfmantroy6601 i think they retread them as many times as possible.
The wheel/tire assembly is incredibly heavy, and the air pressure is insane!
WOW I'd always wondered how they changed the wheels and now I know - thanks Joe
So happy to finally see and know the equipment used to inflate aircraft tires. also happy to see cargolux aircraft at Luxembourg airport, very smart and skilled technicians deftly change aircraft tires. thanks captain joe for your video. 🔥✈️🌍🌎🌏✈️😎
Knowing how to change tire on an airplane makes my flying less stressful. Thank you.
Nice video! I'm surprised LX mechanics doesn't install a axel thread protector when they do tire change. This is a big no no at my airline. One wrong move and the aircraft will be AOG while they change out the axel due to the damaged thread. The thread protector also makes it easy to slip the wheel on and off.
That’s what I was thinking also.
Thanks for this awesome video, especially those protection gear and mechanism for tyre safety.
Captain Joe, this was awesome!! That is so nice that Cargolux is letting you make these interesting and educational videos about the Queen B747 (my personal favorite aircraft!). I am really enjoying seeing how the 'systems' work! I listen to PANC/ANC on live ATC all the time because of all the freighter action. I've heard Cargolux announced a lot -- maybe even one was you??!! Thanks for this video!! Stay safe out/up there!! 💕✈✈💕
Joe, i am surprised by how quick the process is! is this or was this the same time on all 747s ? does it depend on weight? Would it take the same time on a fully loaded A380? so many questions!!!
because there is no brake fan . in A380 take more time because there is brake fan (optional) who cool brakes if we dont have long ground time.
Airbus have different type of tire pressure sensor, has brake fan and different style center lug which can be difficult to align locking bolts. In general Airbus needs twice time replace tire.
Using tire pressure to lift the axle serves 2 purposes, lifting and safety. The wheels are from a split rim type and therefore tire pressure needs to be lowered before removing the wheel nut. For the same reason new tires may only be inflated in a safety cage before mounting. A pity the gentlemen didn’t use the tread protector.
Why do you need a tread protector? 😉
I kid, I think you mean thread protector. 😁
Thanks! Now I know how to change the tires on my 747.
That's a very cool video, really like your calm voice over and it was very interesting. Thanks Cargolux for making these videos possible, I love how we all learn something new.
use f1 tyres and you'll change the tyres in 2 seconds
They only last 50 miles plus the fact it probably won’t be able to take the hit of the landing
Its a joke 💀
@@Airbelgiuma330neoit’s a joke and they wouldn’t be even nearly big enough
*So they don't grab a spare tire from the boot/trunk of the plane? :D*
*What if you need to land in the middle of nowhere, on a dirt road and need to change a tire there?*
There are provisions to carry spare tyres and equipment, but they are not mandatory. If you regularly operate such destinations you would consider something like that. Otherwise you fly in the wheel and the mechanic together with the equipment with the next flight. Or you can ask a maintenance organisation in the area to do the job and provide the wheel, or send the wheel to them.
Just a few options an airline has.
But it can be quite troublesome depending on the location.
Call auto club (or maybe plane club)?
Thanks for the tutorial Joe ! My Boeing's tyre was flatted out in the middle of taking off, watching this tutorial I was successful to change my Boeing's tyre, in a matter of minutes I was up in Air. Thanks again !
Unlike other TH-camrs, only few are genuine and into aviation industry. Captain Joe is one of the best amongst them!
My airplane was stuck on the tarmac for 90 minutes because someone’s luggage wheel pierced the tire! When I got to baggage claim, there was one sheepish person with a three-wheeled bag 😳😱
Dear friends and followers, Dr./Captain Joe is here to give us more knowledge...Rabbi Joe😎💯💪
😂😂
Ur videos have been motivating me to be an airline pilot …looking forward to get my CPL ,always watching from 🇬🇭
A great video. As a retired Aussie LAME, I have been involved in numerous wheel & brake changes. One small detail you overlooked, probably because so much was going on. With bogie gear, the A/C brakes must be off before jacking one set of wheels. The other set of wheels actually rotate when the other lifts. Not criticising, just a point of interest. Keep up the great vids.
5:35 "while spinning the wheel, ensuring it spins freely". That's incorrect, the reason we spin that wheel is to prevent pitting in the bearing races, as the pressure applied by the big nut when you tighten it goes right against those bearings. It also makes the bearings "sit" evenly in the wheel's hubs.
Additional notes:
6:13 Now, I'm not doing 747s and I can't see clearly what the green tool is, but I'm pretty sure Boeing says in their AMM that the locking nuts and the protective cover's ring nut should also be tightened to specific torque values and not just by ear.
7:01 It's not good practice to write SAME for a Part Number, you should always write the actual P/N on the label, in this case 3-1664
It could be that your Operator might not be happy with you release all this info to the public, just saying. Otherwise, pretty cool stuff for people who've never seen wheel servicing for aircrafts.
I pray who ever sees this be successful in life ❤️ ❤️
Great video Joe,I as a mechanical engineer I love this sort of thing.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you for this video, very interesting. Such a simple process, I love that!
This is really impressive, I thought it would be more difficult and tedious. But this video cleared me up. Using the old tire pressure blew my mind.
Good vid!
I have watched the my freinds change out tires on Southwest planes on many occasions.
Its like a dance to me, they normally get the two tires on the 737,s done in that 15 minute time frame.
I actually timed a couple buddies they work so well together, there quikest time was 13.5 on both tires!
KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDS, Cpt.!👍🏿
Nice to know that as everything in aviation, changing a tire follows a methodic procedure. Very pleasant to see.
Thank you for the video. Just two short questions, Is there any rule to change tires in pairs? If one tire is semi worn and other is new, is that ok? Is there tire alignment and/or balancing done for less wear and tear?
This was awesome 👏
Sooo happy and refreshing to see Joe on TH-cam after a long time!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Its great to witness
compliments to your team
good job
Love this series Joe! Thanks
Fascinating
Thanks for the insight
Excellent video sir 🙏
So experienced and skilled knowhow personnel. Congratulations pilot
Always saw it as a good thing when pilots came out to see what we're up to on the line. It's beneficial to pilots to better understand how their aircraft works and what goes into making it safe. Though I transferred to working on helis now so my tire change days are over lol
I’ve had drivers come and look at engines and say….I’ve never seen in here before! Generally they leave us alone and if they ask how long I always double my wild guess!!
❤ Well Done Captain very intresting and info best wishes for you.
great video as always. just a curiosity. having one side tyre new in a assembly of 4 would not cause any " disequalization" of grip and tendency to grip more in one side rather than anohter?
Great piece of information on the change of tyre of the Boeing aircraft. Liked it much.
Thank you for the detailed step to step video! Now I won't be scared of my flat tires when hitting down the road on Friday night anymore.
Best aviation channel. You show things nobody shows.
WE LOVE YOU CAPTAIN JOE
Wow! Been forever since I last watched a Captain Joe's video. And kennedy Steve's intro is always a feast to the ears.
Very interesting. Well put together Joe!
Thanks for the video Captain, very informative.
thank you Captain Joe, always fascinating!! 👍
Great video! Is the depth of the thread considered for performance calculations when landing on a wet runway?
wow, that was just amazing total respect to all of you guys doing this!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! i did changed trucks tires, but plane tire, this is AWESOME!!!!! :D TX for sharing!!!
Thank you for this cool clip.
Great, interesting video.
Using coins to check tread depth? The tyres do not have tread indicators (like car tires)?
Loved this video! Really enjoyed seeing this side of things.
Thanks Joe for let us see all this, fantastic!!
Thanks captain joe.. have a nice flight
Very useful video for aviation students. Thank you very much mr Pilot
Exceptionally fascinating.
That wheel nut/press sensor cover and quick disconnect tire valve are awesome. I wish I worked with those.
I like how the tire change was professionally done. It was very cool watching this video.
Wow what a great informative video thanks caption joe
First time to see how to change an old tyre in airplane. Thank you, Captain Joe, for this great video.
Those tyres are absolutely gigantic, quite amazing that they can survive 100 landings before a change is needed. The most amazing thing about the assembly is how the wheels interact with the brake assembly, the wheels key into the brake pack directly rather that bolting to a hub like a car does, making that whole assembly stronger and simpler as a result.
Never would have thought it would be that easy. We take so much for granted. Thank you.
top video joey! well explained as always
