Dear friends and followers welcome back to my channel and to a brand new video about "How to change an airplane tire"
As soon as a plane comes to a stop at it’s parking position, the maintenance team will instantly inspect all 18 tires for their wear and any damages. If any of the tires is in any way damaged or lacking in tire profile, as shown here, the mechanics take note of that tire and order a new one from the tire shop.
They then come around with this changing trailer which can carry two new tires and comes with all the necessary equipment to make the swap.
Before the new tire gets mounted, the safety and transport lid needs to be removed and the pressure needs to be checked, in case the tire had longer downtime after it’s mount onto the wheel rim.
Therefore the refill valve is opened and the pressure is adjusted to 220 PSI with Nitrogen. Why Nitrogen? Check out the video in the right hand corner.
Then the mechanic gets this pneumatically powered hydraulic jack and places it under the landing gear wheel bogie and what happens next is so clever. They attach this tube onto the valve of the used tire and connect it to the jack. The high air pressure in the tire aids the jack as it lifts up the wheel bogie. This accelerates the lifting process immensely, and is a win win, as the tire will be released from it’s pressure after the change anyways. As the hydraulic jack extends, there is a given hoist point to prevent the jack from sliding off. Keep in mind the 747 landing gear tilts once it leaves the ground, so in this case only the two rear tires will lift up whilst the ones in front remain on ground. Whilst the jack is pumping up the rear part of wheel bogie the mechanic removes the protective wheel nut cover.
....
Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this video!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe

Using the old tire pressure for the pneumatic/hydraulic jack is so elegant and clever. Thanks for this awesome video

[@ThePulmentinum]

except if the old tire is burst, I guess they have a compressor (maybe use the plane pneumatics?) for these occasions

[@jeffrey8885]

@@ThePulmentinum they dont use compressed air, instead nitrogen from cylinders if they need to top up wheel. In-case of tire burst nitogen from cylinders can also be used or if limited pressure from the cylinders they can manually pump the alligator jack.

[@CarstenBauer]

@@ThePulmentinum They hand pump it.

[@AerobatBrian]

@@ThePulmentinum If the old tire "burst" it will take more than 15 min, a LOT more. Most likely plane will be OTS ( out of service) as a blown tire causes all kinds of damage shedding rubber chunks, the axle mate will require changing, full gear inspection, and most likely there is a problem with the anti-skid which caused the tire to fail anyway.

[@Akira-br7bn]

Yes, actually manual also said that tire must release its pressure before remove it, so use it as a source of lifting the jack is much more convenient way for mechanic 👍

I was a CIT fueler at LAS Nevada. The aircraft maintenance company we had was CAS. Like every other department on the ground, we had a turn-time for the flight which was typically around an hour or so, unless it was scheduled to depart later. I've witnessed plenty of tire changes, and always had to communicate with them before I started fueling the AC.

Well, while it's an extremely rare gas, being only 80% of our atmosphere, it is relatively unreactive as a gas with things like tires. Seriously though, for "inert" (read: noble gases), argon is a rarer gas, being around 1% of the atmosphere, so when something like oxygen is present as a purified gas or a few other reactive items are present, argon is a cheap gas to use. Hence, we also see it in MIG welding. When one wants a gas that's a pain to safely store or store long term, hydrogen and helium generate all kinds of friends, as they can diffuse through so many containers. When one wants an exceptionally corrosive and lethal gas, hand me a can of beans. I'll just get my hat... But, on a serious note, notice how easily that tire was spun by the mechanic? That's some really high quality bearings in use there! Good thing, given a 500 pound tire gets spun up at landing speed from zero instantly! I saw a man push a 727 that had passed its stop mark by hand, as all of the push back tugs were in use and they really needed to get the jetway to the plane. Had the crew release brakes, he pushed for a few seconds and the aircraft rolled back to where it was needed, brakes set and the flight departed on time.

that happened to me with an US Airways A320, back in 2009. I decided to land on water so then I could change the tire more difficultly, but there was no YT tutorial on how to change an A320 tire, so I just left it there and evacuated the plane.

[@vascodejesus6534]

Captain Joe, this was awesome!! In the early 1970's it took ages to change the VARIG B-727 tires in the middle of nowhere here in Brazil, especially during the tropical rainy season, with all the heat, bugs, and mud. It looks like an effortless task nowadays as shown in the video. Thanks for sharing.

One of the primary ways to inspect the brake for wear is the rod sticking out on the aft lower portion of the brake caliper you showed. You'll notice it is sticking quite far beyond the limit indicating eyelet/support that is a few inches from the caliper which means that's a fairly new brake. Thanks for the video, it's always nice to see the maintainers getting a small shoutout.

[@RMBB4202]

I was a crew chief on heavies in the USAF and this video brought back memories. It's a pretty simple process but it can be dangerous, and like pretty much anything on an aircraft, you don't want to screw it up. You're dealing with a lot of weight and very high air pressure and some really ugly things can happen. These guys make it look easy, but there is an art to rolling those MLG tires on and off the trailer or in and out of the racks in the shop without losing control of them and/or dropping them. Aside from the damage and/or injury a rolling, out of control MLG wheel-tire assembly can cause, dropping one of those awkward, nearly 600 pound monsters requires at least three men men to dead lift it back to upright again. Dropping one will not exactly make you the most popular guy on the crew that day and the others will not let you soon forget it. I don't know about on a 747, but on the heavy jets I'm familiar with you don't want to forget to insure the brakes are set prior to pulling the wheel/tire off. If they're not set or can't be set due to no available power or hydraulic pressure, you'll "drop" the brake, and those multi-segmented rotors will have to be "jigged" and THEN the brakes set prior to installing the new wheel/tire. Unintentionally dropping a brake is another thing that will make you an extremely unpopular individual on the crew that day.

Cool! Thank You Joe for this interesting video. I remember one occasion a long time ago. I was doing my "military" (civil-) service in Sweden as a civilian airport firefighter. We used to sitt and watch videos before going to bed at our station, just to wait for the last plane landing. This night we heard a loud bang and the windows where shaking ... all of us rushed up and prepared for an emergency. One of us looked out the window and saw nothing unusual ... the MD80 was slowing down and started taxying to the terminal as usual(?) So we did not go to our truck. But wondered what caused the bang. Then the telephone called ... it was from the tower, and they asked us to go out and sweep up all the rubber from the runway ... The airport was not so big so we had jobbs that is maybe not normal for firefighters ... This was one of them. The other was to check the friction of the runway in winter during weekends (when the ordinary guys did not work) ... another job was to control the lights in the morning and sometimes check visibility, when the airport was foggy ... :) I loved that time and miss it. There was also a flying museum at the airport with one old P51 Mustang ... :) Sorry for a long comment ... Now you have read a chapter of my memoirs ;)

[@SeanBZA]

At least you did not have to go find the remains of the animal that wandered on the runway. We got most of the little Steenbok in the wheel, complete with the baby, well cooked. Wash off the wheel, strip it to replace the torn off ABS wiring harness and sensors, and brake lines, and get the plane ready to fly in the next hour, because it had to go up then. The hanger queen in the other door was the donor, it was just missing the engine otherwise, so we could do that in the daytime when stores was open.

Nice to know that as everything in aviation, changing a tire follows a methodic procedure. Very pleasant to see.

[@georgewn3780]

Great Video nice equipmnet but 3 mistakes were made according to the Aircraft Maintenace Manual ( AMM) chapter 32-41-01 ... (1) Tyre should not be fully inflated prior to istallation to avoid potential burst . (2) A thread protector was not used ( prevents damage to axle threads and bearing seals ) (3) wheel should be rotated in the same direction of wheel nut while tightening in this case clockwise not counterclockwise .... Overall they did a great job

[@PatrickLipsinic]

Yeah, I was like. "Where is your thread protector?" 🤦‍♂ I work on 767's and had another station change a tire and didn't use it. They damaged the plating on the axles just past the threads. Had to had NDI check it for cracks and the plating shop to replate the area.

[@ihax0r]

Is this on the 747 only? Because on the 777, I can't find step 1 and 3 in the AMM. Step 3 it only states turning the wheel, not which direction. It's just checking if the bearings are not stuck, so the direction doesn't seem like a problem right? Oh and they didn't put the parking braking.

[@ArlandoToby]

Amazing tutorial but one step was missed. Cleaning, inspection and re-greasing of the axle. I remember many nights doing tons of tire changes. One night a T7 had 5 of its tires changed that night.

@@MrPronoz On airplanes with factory tire pressure sensors, they are almost always wired. The sensor screws onto the valve stem and the signal is sent through a rotary transformer in the hub. This is due to complex certification issues with batteries and radio signals.

[@PRCOM]

Hey cpt how's it going, ironically the hardest part of changing a tyre is to set the brakes to secure the brake disks in a centered position so that they don't drop. As if you don't it makes it extremely difficult to install the new tire assembly. Iv seen many new engineers forget that part, Great video Joe, stay safe

[@III_Nick_III]

Ah yes, nothing like levering the brakes back into place with a screwdriver for 40 minutes...

[@oldmech619]

He also missed greasing of the axel before pushing the replacement wheel into position. This is to ensure the roller bearings inner race slides effortlessly. The FAA once busted a friend of mine for using the wrong axel grease on a 767. Bearing grease was wrong

[@oldmech619]

@@III_Nick_III It’s not that hard to put the brake disks back in order if the brake disks slip down. I have had a lot of experience doing that, until I learned to put the brakes on first. The big problem was changing the wheel at the gate with pax onboard. Kicking off the brakes to spin the tire means the airplane moves just a bit with the pax standing. Just enough to lock the chocks in place. So when you get ready to leave, you have to jerk the plane forward, then wait while everyone removes the chocks. Ahhhh I miss the good old days of spending Christmas working on a cold rainy night. I am retired. Thank you.

[@jeffrey8885]

during their removal/installation they didn't install the axle thread protector which a basic safety requirement in wheel replacement. it prevents damage to the axle threads and prevents the axle threads scraping the inner surface of the wheel bearings and i am not sure with boeing but on airbus it is specifically stated on the amm to turn the wheel on the same direction of torque to compensate on the torque friction.

So let me get this straight. You have 18 tires on the plane, you haul cargo... you are a certified 18 wheeler. From this land trucker to you sky trucker fly safe. Also could you do a video on how the brakes work on these planes? They look super interesting!

[@KingdaToro]

You can get a good look at the brakes at 4:52. The parts with the tabs sticking out are the brake rotors, those tabs are how they interface with the wheel. Between the rotors are the actual brake pads. It's a big stack, with alternating pads and rotors. When the brakes are applied, the whole stack is squeezed together with hydraulic pressure.

[@es-qf2gw]

@Zach Pare Normally they are Hydraulically activate, multiple piston setup, alternating between several pairs of stators and rotators. Stators don't move and the rotators get keyed to the rim

[@jimmyvu3580]

Nice video! I'm surprised LX mechanics doesn't install a axel thread protector when they do tire change. This is a big no no at my airline. One wrong move and the aircraft will be AOG while they change out the axel due to the damaged thread. The thread protector also makes it easy to slip the wheel on and off.

[@speedbird1972]

[@airmanfree]

because there is no brake fan . in A380 take more time because there is brake fan (optional) who cool brakes if we dont have long ground time.

[@mccylk4441]

Airbus have different type of tire pressure sensor, has brake fan and different style center lug which can be difficult to align locking bolts. In general Airbus needs twice time replace tire.

[@1Jurbo]

Using tire pressure to lift the axle serves 2 purposes, lifting and safety. The wheels are from a split rim type and therefore tire pressure needs to be lowered before removing the wheel nut. For the same reason new tires may only be inflated in a safety cage before mounting. A pity the gentlemen didn’t use the tread protector.

[@roichir7699]

There are provisions to carry spare tyres and equipment, but they are not mandatory. If you regularly operate such destinations you would consider something like that. Otherwise you fly in the wheel and the mechanic together with the equipment with the next flight. Or you can ask a maintenance organisation in the area to do the job and provide the wheel, or send the wheel to them. Just a few options an airline has. But it can be quite troublesome depending on the location.

[@user-ow8op2og6h]

They only last 50 miles plus the fact it probably won’t be able to take the hit of the landing

[@Slash1066]

Those tyres are absolutely gigantic, quite amazing that they can survive 100 landings before a change is needed. The most amazing thing about the assembly is how the wheels interact with the brake assembly, the wheels key into the brake pack directly rather that bolting to a hub like a car does, making that whole assembly stronger and simpler as a result.

[@jabariphillips766]

That's a very cool video, really like your calm voice over and it was very interesting. Thanks Cargolux for making these videos possible, I love how we all learn something new.

[@exploropia366]

I pray who ever sees this be successful in life ❤️ ❤️

[@HDJess]

5:35 "while spinning the wheel, ensuring it spins freely". That's incorrect, the reason we spin that wheel is to prevent pitting in the bearing races, as the pressure applied by the big nut when you tighten it goes right against those bearings. It also makes the bearings "sit" evenly in the wheel's hubs. Additional notes: 6:13 Now, I'm not doing 747s and I can't see clearly what the green tool is, but I'm pretty sure Boeing says in their AMM that the locking nuts and the protective cover's ring nut should also be tightened to specific torque values and not just by ear. 7:01 It's not good practice to write SAME for a Part Number, you should always write the actual P/N on the label, in this case 3-1664 It could be that your Operator might not be happy with you release all this info to the public, just saying. Otherwise, pretty cool stuff for people who've never seen wheel servicing for aircrafts.

[@cbwplanespotting2599]

I like how the tire change was professionally done. It was very cool watching this video.

[@andrewb9790]

I was on a A320 at Heathrow last Saturday that needed a tyre changed ... After we'd all boarded! I would have loved to see how it was done so thank you for this video!

[@navsimmer]

Wow! Been forever since I last watched a Captain Joe's video. And kennedy Steve's intro is always a feast to the ears.

[@Ally9696_SocialMedia]

Thanks for this tutorial, I should now be able to change my cycle's front tire.

[@dianericciardistewart2224]

Captain Joe, this was awesome!! That is so nice that Cargolux is letting you make these interesting and educational videos about the Queen B747 (my personal favorite aircraft!). I am really enjoying seeing how the 'systems' work! I listen to PANC/ANC on live ATC all the time because of all the freighter action. I've heard Cargolux announced a lot -- maybe even one was you??!! Thanks for this video!! Stay safe out/up there!! 💕✈✈💕

[@JohnMatthew1]

Thank you for this video, very interesting. Such a simple process, I love that!

[@derek-press]

wow, that was just amazing total respect to all of you guys doing this!

[@Roybobthecfndfighter]

Hey Joe, I like all your videos but I found this one particularly fascinating.

[@rosssmith6205]

A great video. As a retired Aussie LAME, I have been involved in numerous wheel & brake changes. One small detail you overlooked, probably because so much was going on. With bogie gear, the A/C brakes must be off before jacking one set of wheels. The other set of wheels actually rotate when the other lifts. Not criticising, just a point of interest. Keep up the great vids.

[@gglovato]

Fascinating, can you do a detailed video on the antiskid system how does it physically work with those small vanes?, and how does the tpms sensor connect to the avionics?

[@trex2092]

Brings back memories of changing tires on the USCG HC-130s I worked and crewed on for 21 years. Always make damn sure the brakes are set before removing the wheel or all the brake rotors will drop but then we had a brake alignment tool that would re-set the brake rotors. Yes, I made that mistake once.

[@andrewj9831]

If you forget to set the brakes, you can just spin the tire on the brakes to get it on.

[@jimwells4240]

@@andrewj9831 Not really....those big ol' brake rotors will not only get out of alignment circumferentially, but also axially....they will fall down about 3/4 of an inch. When the brakes are hot (like they almost always are), getting the rotors lined back up is a real pain....and can get your fingers pinched off.

[@andrewj9831]

@@jimwells4240 about the same or less as most brakes I changed on commercial planes.... that's why you angle the tire slightly at an angle 😁

[@mohammadmusa8808]

So experienced and skilled knowhow personnel. Congratulations pilot

[@pedrosmith221]

Best aviation channel. You show things nobody shows.

[@62Cristoforo]

I saw a similar video about 6 or 7 years ago. Never forgot it. You never know when this info could come in handy.

[@ArmyofSeaturtles]

new pilots love watching us change their tires with such amazement, on the 747-8 some of the gear door panels must be moved out of the way for a tire change

[@Southwest_923WR]

Good vid! I have watched the my freinds change out tires on Southwest planes on many occasions. Its like a dance to me, they normally get the two tires on the 737,s done in that 15 minute time frame. I actually timed a couple buddies they work so well together, there quikest time was 13.5 on both tires! KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDS, Cpt.!👍🏿

[@imathreat209]

Thanks for letting me know, I need a few tires changed on my 747 in the garage

[@BuffManJo]

Wow very informative, I looked in my 747 Manuel and it had terrible instructions on how to change the tire, after watching this I was able to change all my 747 tires.

[@lloydmorrison5979]

As a student pilot, I LOVED watching this video. Knowledge is like gold.

[@Deadkandy]

That was so cool and interesting to watch! Thank you! Can we have more of these?

[@mekiruba2302]

Great piece of information on the change of tyre of the Boeing aircraft. Liked it much.

[@HandFromCoffin]

Man.. I wish I had one of those jacks when I was a Crew Chief in the AF on C-141's. And all that space to work.

[@rriam_321]

Very useful video for aviation students. Thank you very much mr Pilot

[@barsaf9989]

Very cool to see Captin Joe! I like these kind of videos. Maybe more mechanical videos to come?

[@Zone_Stomper]

This is great. If any of my 747s need tire changes, I know who to call.

[@DrummerMBiller]

Finally again a video without commercials for the online shop, the book or fashion....

[@ashikeshan1529]

Whenever a cargo lux flies over my city your name comes in my mind first. A big fan of you captain

[@Braiden-lp4dm]

Those mechanics looked like they had fun doing that, they are amazing!

Mr. Capitan Joe , How are you ? All good ? An excellent job , with a lot of technique and knowledge . Congratulations on the work . Hugs from Brazil .

[@jaxcell]

I recall an option in your auto back in the 50's, was a short length hose with connectors on each end. if another driver had a flat tire, you could share your spare tire air to the get then to a service station.

[@Jude13able]

I remember doing this when I worked at the Atlanta airport.... Tire and brake changes sucked. I'm glad I went into inspection and left maintenance that was some grueling work.

[@DaDerpyBoi]

Thanks man! I was just going to change the planes tire!

Happy to see ur wonderful aircraft technologies videos !!! Cheers Capt Joe. Rajkumar (AME )
