Cheers - and I must return the compliment on your V8 as well I watch and learn via Instagram and look forward to hearing what the Fox shocks are like. Agree re reaching back - at first I kept tw@ing my elbow on the tyre, but I soon got used to it. JB @Lodelaner Instagram Youtube greenlaning and other LR related content |

Interesting - not long ago I had 2 flats on my Disco on the same lane and it wrecked the weekend away. I ended up buying a serviceable set of wheels and tyres on ebay in the middle of Wales! I would like to know how to do a tube change as a bit of a skill in my back-pocket. I've got a set of tubed Rostyles to replace the Wolfs on my 90.

I use my high jack below my sidebar to push the tyre seal to the middle off the rim. And I have 2 crowbars with them Iget one side off the tyre off the rim and then you can change the innertube. Put a little air in so it sits nice and then put the tyre back on the rim with the crowbars. Be carefull not to damage thesealing area off the tyre.
Pump it up till the tyre seats again and relaese some pressure to your liking. It is easy but it can be a bit off a workout.
