Hybrid Caravan Safety | Avoiding a Serious Tyre Blowout | Tyre Change

[@jadegulla1243]

Great video coming from a tyre back ground I reckon it's a manufacturing fault where there is air trapped between the layers of the sidewall I would try to pursue it and get a pro rata replacement from the manufacturer. changshan I believe maybe associated with Maxxis tyres. and useing a torque wrench in Reverse is not a good idea it will stretch the mechanism inside and brake they are just not designed for reverse application even though there is a button so you can.

Phew, good spot "young" Mavo. 😁

[@johnprice2606]

Good video and tips. Not a bad idea to check bearing play whenever the wheel is jacked up and a close inspection of the suspension bushes when the wheel is off.

[@bmrt1000]

Get yourself a cordless impact wrench!

[@paulholubecki6386]

Another tip is to get rid of the plastic cap on the bearing cover. Makes it easier to check for bearing heat. Just noticed you have pressure monitoring..oops my bad

[@paulholubecki6386]

I have tyre monitors on the van and cruiser. I also don't wear pyjama pants to change tyres

[@robertwebb4838]

Cheers mate great video

[@justinworden7051]

I'm pretty sure Jawa recommend 140 foot pounds not Nm which would be only 103 Fp ! Another good ep ! Cheers !

[@mikus6669]

I remember being told 140nM for the nuts a handover. I checked at 140nM on first trip and they were defiantly at least that. Bought our bottler jack after Ants first video, knock on wood, not needed it yet after 10 000km.

[@henkruysch7701]

Good spotting. That's my one fear with our single axel van, you don't get a second chance at 90 km/hr if you get a blow out.. I wouldn't of thought you would jack up the van with the stabiliser legs on the opposite side down. Would they be rated for that sort of weight?

[@empty_nestadventures]

Just loosened them up a bit. Plenty of room to move

[@michaelrouhan4641]

Did you find out what the issue was, with tyre. Good job 👍

[@empty_nestadventures]

Not yet. In the outback atm. Getting new tyres on the car in a month or so, so will check it then. Still have one spare for the car

[@AshleyPearceImages]

@@empty_nestadventures I'd replace the tyres on the van as well. Costly, but replace those cheapies on the Hybrid!

[@zoezoe610]

61 psi seems too high. I used to have a single axle and the tyres were at 45 psi when cold and warm to about 50 psi. That hard eliminates all give out of the tyre.

[@BennyTheKnife]

most of these are rated to 80psi, 60-65psi is about right with 3t on a single axle hybrid van

[@pammotorsport9743]

You could have torqued up the nuts with the wheel in the air, because you had the handbrake on.😉
