    We used to lay out a piece of old carpet under the tire rim to avoid scratching the face of the aluminum rim.

    Mechanics was very very very happy seeing the new tire machine that changes big semi and trailer tire's. They was like what's this big crate and me and Jackie Boss Lady appears and tells the mechanics to take the crate apart and they did and they were like hell yeah. They was like hell that's better then changing tires by hand. At least it came with a tire balancer and we had to learn how to do that since balancing semi tires was a learning experience.

    Very nice shop. Those black plastic spacers work great for minimal investment. When put between the drum and inner wheel and between the wheels as well, things come apart much easier.

    great work as usual! so many steering wheel holders any more that haven't a clue on how to perform the simplest of tasks to keep their rig going, like changing a tire.

    ive seen those plastic shims used between steel and aliminum wheels to cut down on corrosion not when having inner and outer aluminum whhels together.

  • @tracycomtois9457
    @tracycomtois9457 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Completely unrelated Steve but I’ve been thinking about your pneumatic wipers. What if you ran the vacuum lines to the dash and install a plastic fuel line shutoff valve like on a lawnmower to act as a ball valve to partially cut off air flow to slow down the wipers. Watched a video of you driving in the rain and was waiting for Orwell to have lift off with how fast they go.

    Doing a good job on the brake job on the trailer. Have you addressed the problem you where having with the lights on the trailer ? Maybe you will need a new wiring harness. Tracing down the problem can be a real pain in the but. I enjoy the videos. 😅😊

      The static went away when he moved the camera to the other side of the garage to deal with the tires. I'm guessing there's some electrical interference as I _believe_ the breaker box is in that corner, if I'm remembering the walk around of the shop correctly.

    Out of curiosity, do you need to balance those tyres the same way you do with car tyres?

      They're both on there. Zoom in a bit and you can see the hook end of the other spring.
