Handy tip - changing tyre on trailer
Submitted by jarrid on Sun, 2014-03-16 08:41
Hi, just thought I would pass on a handy tip I got from my brother for changing tyres on a dual axle trailer should you get a flat. I had a piece of hard timber cut at an angle which I can drive up on. When the front or rear (if reversed) tyre goes up on the timber it allows the other tyre to get off the ground enabling the change. My trailer has torsion suspension and you can see in the photo that there is still enough height. Would just be a case of making the timber up to suit. It is cut at 2:1 as 1:1 just pushed it along rather than allowing the trailer to drive up.
Much easier than jacking up. And I have another piece to go back to back with it if required.

How about
A tree hugging anti drum line greenie, or would they just squash out flat like a turd?
This habit is getting expensive!
