Re: Changing a flat
Thanks everyone for the responses. I think I'll try the 3/4" breaker bar & socket with a cheater bar (haven't carried one of those in a while). And make sure the lugs are torqued properly not slammed on by the garage. I'll let you know after the new year if I break all 56 lugs!578Views0likes0CommentsChanging a flat
Hey Guys, I'd like some info on gear to change a flat by myself. Yes I do have roadside assistance but I hate waiting 1 hr for them to get there, then change the tire & write the bill, all in all 1 - 1.5 hrs. And that's in town. The biggest trouble is breaking the lug nuts. Now I'm trying that with a 4 way. Once, or if, that's done I can change a tire & be on my way in 20 minutes or so. I do have an extra charged deep cycle battery with a 2000 watt inverter. I am wondering if a 125 psi, 1.85 scfm compressor with a 1 - 2 gal tank & an impact gun would work to get 8 lugs off. I would power it thru the inverter. I am not looking to do this on a regular basis. Hoping I never have to. Another option is a 18 volt battery impact wrench. Or an electric one run thru the inverter. I am towing a 5th wheel full time & don't have room for a larger compressor. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.4.6KViews0likes33CommentsRe: Going Through Atlanta
Does everyone ignore all the signs that say "all vehicles over 6 wheels must use 285 bypass"? We just came thru there in November and those signs are all over 75S. They even told me that at the visitor center. We took the bypass on a Saturday morning and it wasn't all that bad.560Views0likes0Comments
