How to install run flat inserts into military 37×12.50×16.5 tires the easy way.
Tools needed:
-A couple of straps with anchor points to spread tire
-bottle jack (I believe this was a 20t)
-about a 4”x4” spacer
-lubricant
-high quality music

Класно.
You make that look too easy, but it works! I don't see how someone simply can use a ratchet strap.
nice and lubed up
Fantastic. Just used this technique to install run flat in a new HMMWV tire.
Can you send a link or description for the bottle jack and base you you
Дякую!
Just another guy saying thanks and should we ever meet- I owe you a beer, Big soda, milkshake, etc.
I went to using an endless ratchet strap because it was better than the sideways crank tool. But when I saw this bit of genius, i knew hours of aggrivation would be gone from then on.
GTFO. Here I am, faffing around with a ratchet strap.
Howdy Ben. Good to see the video is still up. 95 wheel and tire assemblies disassembled, new tires mounted, reassembled, and torqued to specs in three days… TIREMAGEDDON!
You sir are the Man, I was watching my shop guys with the strap method.
What’s the LUBE you used?
What size or model bottle jack please!!!!!!!!
Had to use a combo method for old dry surplus parts https://youtu.be/9860rr0dpqI
Quick question..What size bottle jack is that? Gonna order some for our fms shop
And after I struggled for decades using ratcheting straps to reinstall old run-flats the Lord open the sky and brought Benjamin Stewart YouTube video before my eyes. And my life was changed in 16 seconds. http://Www.911rescuediver.com
Thank you for posting these run flat videos! Major time saver!
what is the best way to fit them back on the rim?
thank you so much.
Hey Benjamin nice video. I have a silly question why is everybody removing these run-flats? In my honest opinion I think they should leave them in. Where can I get a set of four?
Perfection! ! Saved me a half hour and I always thought I might loose a finger or two when I released the ratchet strap doing it the old way. Sir I owe you a beer!!
Wow!!! 13 years as a 91B and I’ve never seen it done so easily. No more ratchet straps for me! How did you modify that bottle jack for this?
