Changing your own aircraft tires
In this video series, we will walk you through the process of changing your own aircraft tires. Now to be clear, though I, Bryan Stewart, am a licensed pilot, I am not the source of this information. In this case, I am the video guy who points a camera at Jim Hoddenbach. Jim is an A&P mechanic with IA certification and the owner/operator of Aero Aviation Services at KBTF Skypark. He has 30 years experience working on all kinds of aircraft, from the Cessna 172 to the Cessna 421, Piper Cubs and Cherokees, and more! Jim performs many tasks, from things that are more simple, to complete annual and 100 hour inspections, and complex work such as aircraft engine overhauls.
In other words, this is good information. And we believe that you can use it to help guide you through the process of changing your own tires. It is our hope at the Disciples of Flight that by providing these tutorials, we will empower the confidence of the Aircraft Owner who is interested in saving money, and working on their own equipment when appropriate. There is a comment box below in case you have questions (others will likely have the same ones so it’s good to ask there) and Jim will come around and answer them.
Enjoy!
