CwazyWabbit Posted Thursday at 03:14 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:14 AM Are you adding grease nipples to those spinny pipes so they don't rust and sieze? Or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct my tyre/rim is 63 kg so cannot lift it manually to the height it needs to go to clear the rear winch fairlead however I plan on using the rear winch to pivot the spare into position, it will then lock in place on the swing away section allowing access to the rear tub regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted Thursday at 01:08 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:08 PM I struggle with mine at 57kg a corner - even with arms like Mr Tickle I struggle to get a usable grip when putting them on and off the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Poore Posted Thursday at 01:54 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:54 PM You lot need some Welsh tyre fitters. Chap we use is normally dealing with 75x25" tyres. Admittedly he tries to leave the wheel on the vehicle if he can... When he has to deal with even Land Rover tyres it's a cake walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
