How To Change A Tire On A Boat Trailer

[@donnakazo7478]

Not just men need to know this important job! I'm president of a nonprofit environmental organization that uses canoes for waterway cleanups and other projects, and even though our canoe trailer tires are fairly new, I want to be sure I can change one if need be. Thanks, well done!

[@lanceduff]

I completely agree! Oh nice that’s awesome! Definitely feel free to share this with your group in case they ever get in a bind. You’re welcome

[@smalltownbassfishin1247]

Good information to add into my tool bag. I'll definitely hang on to this once I'm blessed to purchase my 1st boat.

[@lanceduff]

Absolutely! I’m gonna start putting a lot of my Knowledge on here. I get asked so many different questions each week and slowly will Make a video for each one. That’s awesome!!! I remember my first bass boat. Wish I would have kept it!

Great tips!

[@indianachrisUDX1313]

Good Info!

[@lanceduff]

I’ve seen a lot of young fisherman stuck on the highway over the years so that inspired me to make this video. Hopefully it will help a few of them out.

[@apsornkissamitakis3558]

Thank you for the details and tips.

Anytime! Have a blessed one!

[@lanceduff]

Haha it was pretty dang hot! At least I had some good shade!

[@erickmurray2314]

At least you're in the shade

[@lanceduff]

That’s right! I definitely wouldn’t have been in the sun on this day. It was HOT!

[@eddiepayne8533]

But my trailer has two tires on each side! I keep a 4 way wrench and an 18" breaker bar in the truck for those tight ones! I also have a bottle jack and a few pieces of wood to space out with.

[@lanceduff]

My ranger does too. That breaker bar can be a lifesaver. I do keep one in my truck but I’ve never had to use it with that never seez I put on the threads. I really wish I had room for my impact. That would be the easiest tool but I know how my luck goes. Someone would bust in my truck and get it 😂

nice work, Mickey disappeared on you!!

[@lanceduff]

I said work and he took off 😆

[@clarkholton461]

First time I change a tire on my trailer I tried jacking up by the frame but the leaf springs had so much give in them the tire never got off the ground.

[@lanceduff]

Oh wow! I haven’t had that happen yet but I know how my luck goes. 😂 were you able to get it changed out?

[@clarkholton461]

@@lanceduff Yea had to jack it from the axel but it's 1/4" square tubing so the trailer was fine. (Skeeter)

[@mikesmith7341]

A lot of young guys will learn how to change a tire the right way. Thanks for making this.

[@lanceduff]

Anytime

[@maktheturd6220]

what's that bottle that apply to the thread called?

[@lanceduff]

It’s called nickel anti-seize. It works amazing. Here is an Amazon link to some. www.amazon.com/Permatex-77164-Nickel-Anti-Seize-Lubricant/dp/B000HBIDR4

[@kristysmith4900]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you were not suppose to change a tire on gravel, because the jack could slip. 🤔 There would be some kinetic friction that we would not want if that was to happen.

[@lanceduff]

You may be right. I’ve never heard of that but it could be possible for sure. I could definitely see that with the small jacks that comes with cars now that you mention it. I know that jack I have is pretty long and it covers a good sized area. I definitely make sure no matter where I’m changing a tire no part of my body gets under the load for that reason. I don’t want to get in a pinch point.

[@kristysmith4900]

@@lanceduff that's all I was worried about. Saftey first!

[@amgeezy_2709]

Is there a part two? When are you going to change the tire? Ya swapped wheels.

[@mikesmith7341]

He did change out the tire. In my 50 years this is what we've always called it. It may be different where you live. When you get a flat you "change the tire" I've never heard it called anything else. Maybe I'm old school.

[@amgeezy_2709]

@@mikesmith7341 technically it is a new tire

[@lanceduff]

No part two. The tire was changed. I’m with Mr. Mike on this one except I’m not over 50 lol

[@dannyboudreaux5137]

How the water on your end for the reds and specks?

[@lanceduff]

It’s definitely dirty looking and mostly fresh. Around the lower end it has a little bit of salt in it depending on the tide moments. I was out there last weekend and never got the first speck but talked to a couple of guys that caught them at first light. I got several reds and a pile of big gar.

[@nicolebraxton6273]

@3:20 Get your hand off that tire before the jack fails and you won’t have nomore hand

[@lanceduff]

Typically when a jack fails. The hydraulics in them slowly lose hydraulic pressure and the load will come down slowly (can be faster depending on the leak). Now if the trailer was to fall over then yes a hand and probably a leg or worse. I Wouldn’t be able to get outta there fast enough if it accidentally fell. I definitely recommend checking and load testing your jacks before I using them. Also the style I’m using in this video does prevent the load from tipping over. You can get one like this at most tool stores. It’s one of the safest ones you can use. Tight lines 🎣
