CTSleepy Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hi everyone, Any reason not to use a scissor jack for a tire change? I found this on here but wanted to make sure it was ok? I'm asking because it's a one man show and I don't have all the fancy equipment. For the front I would need two people I know. Thanks everyone.

sandpiper Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 On my after market Matco wheels and brakes the axle extends far enough toward the middle of the plane ( beyond the axle housing )so that it is easy to lift the plane using a scissor jack. Been doing it for years. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ct9000 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 To do the front wheel on tour own is easy. I use a 20l plastic drum filled with water tied to the tail strap to pull the tail down enough to lift the nose wheel. It is quite stable quick and easy.
