jjrbus Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Instead of jacking with an outer dualy flat is there any reason we cannot run the inner dualy up on a ????? (whatever is handy) and remove the outer wheel? Expiring minds need to know. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I know it can be done on the "foolie" axle. I don't believe it can be done on the full float. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back East Don Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Simple, because the lug nuts are for both rims. To take the one off, the remaining one is now free to move. Perhaps gravity will keep it in place, perhaps not. I wouldn't want to be working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I have had to do something like this just to get the jack under the axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's a fairly common trick for dual wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 reminds me of a redneck youtube video i saw once of some guys getting a tire to fit into a rim on a dodge ram by driving it on over another tire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maineah Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Of course every one well knows if you have a flat with dual wheels it will be on the the inside any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjrbus Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 I know this is done on bigger vehicles, but they have lug studs that hold the inner dually on and something about the hub, can't remember. Not sure on our type of wheel setup, so not recommending this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Why would anyone want to change a flat that way, unless it was an emergency? A $12 bottle-jack is all that is needed. But yes, I suppose the studs are long enough that if one tire had ground pressure on it, it would cock and get jammed enough not to fall off - while the one not touching the ground or board was removed. I've done it on big garbage trucks. Cannot say I've tried it on my little Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
