In this video I swing by Andy's shop as he is replacing all eight drive tires on his Peterbilt. He gives us a demonstration on how to change the tires by hand and shows us a torque wrench that goes up to 600ft lbs! Not to mention that the tires on this truck cost about $700 EACH!

So I told the Andy I didn't have any content for today so he's changing tires. We should come pay my visit sick. Got your action shot? We got on the board over here. Technical: What are you doing? Change the tires, got the new drives on.
Wow, you're almost done Yeah! I got the big people. Didn't see the fifth wheel. That's right. Yeah, we got to get a follow-up here.
Sparkly water. Wow! There is a few suggestions in the comments where I should have done this: I don't know if you saw them uh no. I'll go search through what what form I'm pretty. Are they good? Oh no compressor even.
You got double maker good. Should have been here when I drilled All Them Holes there's 30 more more than five. All right Andy's gonna show us the process seemed in truck tires I did a lot of these back my day going. Yeah sorry I got the air on it I Took the valve stuff.
Step one, yeah step oh step was take it off the truck. That's right. we did that valve core out of it, break it down which it did when I dropped it on the floor. Yeah, these alloy wheels oftentimes break the bead quite easily.
Then you got your water and Dawn Dish soap. Don Not a sponsor, not a sponsor. Soapy water? Yeah, yeah, so it comes off easier. foreign.
You don't want to start on the wrong side because of the way a drop Center is made in the wheel. You'll get one beat off, but you won't get the second one off. Okay, these old school we're using old tires. Oh yeah? I don't know.
I probably screw this all up now. I'm on camera see I've never had the people watch to me for it. and today, all right. we'll see.
You're gonna go ahead and scratch the room. you don't have an old uh Minecraft that you throw me. Oh yeah, probably look at that I can't get that borrow just because the people are watching me I'm nervous. That's all right.
Take your time, put them on, put them on hold for me until I get that out of there. you're gonna go back and out of this up a little bit. Make me look better. Yeah, something like that.
Yeah. So now all right. I'm gonna get the soap on this side of it so she comes out nice and easy. Probably find out when my back hurts at night here.
What's this? Look number eight right? Yeah, this is number eight for you today. I'm ready to be done. Get these little guys sneaked in over there around there and then sorry I'm not here. The place if you had a mud flat man.
um sorry. Well they're your wheels. So huh, they're your wheels. That's a good point.
This was a comment generator last time so just oh man, dude, that wouldn't have a pocket. The problem is when you put acetone on it it starts taking all that off there and I left. Okay, wait a minute. Is that where your kids or is that yours? I told you I told you it doesn't fit me no more I Can't believe you're using that as a rag.
You don't know about that folks, only sure as well. Pockets or eggs. It's okay. you could have sold that thing on eBay an official pocket I might still be able to. it's famous now. it could be the one use and you sign up for it. Yes, my eBay account's getting a little low. All right.
We're running for tires anyways. Oh, these are Michelin Xdn tubes. Are they they're caps? No, these are. this is rubber one.
Yeah, you take you take the price one of these times. Eight that number starts with a six and it ends with me crying. So so about six grand for new tires? Yeah, yeah, they're they're 700. These ones were like 700 I could get a glove on I don't want to get that 10 degrees over me.
Wow. So six thousand bucks put new tires on? that's not all the tires. We still got four more to go and that's obvious Ly right? So these supposed to be pretty good to tell yourself. Now, what do you do with your kickoffs? You're gonna get them recapped or what are you gonna do with them Those boys I He was going to put him on a trailer or something.
Oh however, I think he changed his mind. Are they ready to go for a truck? That's part of the problem they. they came on it when it was from the factory. so they're 13s.
they're 10 years old. Yeah so we're too old man. I was just a lot of music. It was kind of like a farm truck scenario.
You know what? I mean What's BLT get Yeah, seven years I don't know. hopefully not. I mean I was running them. they were 10 years old just a little while ago.
You pointed dot checks. Yes. Oh okay, they didn't. They must not looked at that because they got a good boy sticker.
Oh, you do so right last. Wow. last two Springs in a row. when I get out of the shop here after I'm done working on it and everything looks nice.
Yeah. I take it right down and drive right into them. Oh okay. dumb.
hey, it's back to me will ya? I mean it's not going to be better than that. Yeah, that's my best efforts there. You know? What do you think that? I just I just look inside tiger. What do you think? Something wrong in there? No.
I just it looked funny from back here. but it's just whatever that that coloring is they have in there. Yeah, it's probably like that's probably the coloring they put in the blindness before yourself. So I use my handy dandy.
We gotta get the two by four under there. so when we seat that bead Okay Girl: okay girl. one shot around my knees and plop right on. It's not gonna happen.
Okay I Told you nervous after you had me out here before the people commented I Just can't take it. It's good to me. Get to me Eric Put in there we need glass beads that's fun looking. Got some new toys there.
New core? Yeah. I'll tell you what if you change the tire that's had these in it? Yeah. and they're all over the floor. Oh yeah.
if you forget about them, Yeah, oh yeah. you get them all the concrete floor here and then go walking Like you know, it's almost like walking on ice. Not good. Oh yeah, you go skating. That's a little different than we just use a equal. It was a brand that we use so these are supposed to be less, uh, susceptible moisture in there and stuff. Oh really cool. for Sandy it might Clump off, you know? yeah? so I guess I don't know.
That's what they tell me Eric I'm not I'm no Pro Those guys don't never mind right there. Well, you're not most guys. I'm not most guys. Eric I put these things on there.
If you're spending that much money on your tires, you might as well try your best to get the most out. Choppy I Uh, probably rotating more than most guys as well. So I've always gotten real good mileage out. You want to feel like I'm gonna get in the face without Jeepers still catching the I think I bit off too.
Yeah, too much. one more bite. but if I don't bite off enough, it's gonna get stuck. keeper scrapers.
No, not enough yet. Oh yeah, there you go baby. Come on. I'm not heavy enough my guy.
Okay, let me get another little bit. There you go. All the pros. There you go.
Yeah, there you go back in 74. you threw them alongside road with three inch split around that's right and a screwdriver screwdriver. you should carry one in the truck hold. Tire Grim the whole nine.
No, you think you welded the comment generator? You wait till people see this. Don't look too close. No, we're gonna look okay. I'll show you it's an air tank off a truck.
This thing's like I built this like 15 years ago. Well don't build excuses if it works. This was well. no, this was uh younger.
Andy built this Andy now might not. Well I'm still using this so I guess I Am they say what's this thing? Uh, if you're gonna be dumb, you got to be tough. Oh I thought it's only temporary unless it works. Yeah, that patch was.
so this was this was leaking on the truck off and uh no, we're gonna put 140 pounds of air in it. The best part is I showed Dragon it's bolts I didn't have plugs so I welded a bolt into it. Yeah, got some nice undercuts going down in these welds. We only put like 150 pounds will it? I don't think so.
Yeah, looks good to me. Don't stand in front of them, they'll stand near the tank. Hey the best part I have a pvt pipe here from where I don't know where it is, threads right into that there and we'd stuff potatoes down it. Oh that'd be enough.
so it cuts it off and they're solid in there. That thing will shoot a potato like when's your compressor kick on second I'm gonna get this stuck on there so it stays in place ready. All right. Safety switch on I got him come here.
Yeah, just like that. she's smoking yeah I think I hear some Russell where you want to watch your eyes she's using the old uh fry Lube huh Oh yeah, are you good at Napa Oh yeah yes I did let me get fry a little bit NASA Oh we gotta check to see if we got put 120 pounds on this bad boy. We were on 120 PSI huh? that's only at 98. you think so? check it a little bit. All right, it's more like 94. shoot 125. hold on, wait a second. Oh 94 or okay.
I'm glad she doesn't call me what to do. Yeah yeah, you're your old man. We're Megan laying around I mean Mrs H Uh, that'll keep her anonymous ly down a little. Does it must be? Oh good thing any pressure on it when I stuck it under there? Um yeah, you're gonna go up a little higher probably Craig that's kind of cheating there, right buddy.
Yeah, right, you're nine years old I do a lot more cheating than I Used to learn all this stuff I used to use a pry bar backing. probably just used to pick it up and put it on there. but like I said, they see that guy pump her up a little. Yeah I'll hold her back if you don't Dent your cap that you don't want a hubcap.
What's up? What's the lazy way too? We already got them for me. That's because of what this is what I do for a living. Oh, here we go. Okay, go on there little girl.
Oh see. I'm not even on my little roller. That's the problem. that's your crap.
Oh these are a hub piloted wheel right? That's what I think Yes sir. come on do you think you know Alcoas Boy we I thought we had her line right up there she is. Boom holy cow guys when they were all jammed up here now. rookie there she is.
So it's piloted on the Hub on looks like four or five spots right here. That's what keeps it centered. Now we gotta line up our valve stumps. You line them up where you from across me.
oh that's what I mean across from each other? Line them up opposite. That's the same thing only. where is the one? Oh top Yeah. keep going there.
we go. I was uh, not born to be a tire guy here? No, me neither. Yeah, that looks right. You ready across from each other? Oh I think so.
Oh yeah. I got one at the top? Let the people tell you where it's at. That keeps her in Balance You know we got. we're gonna use this bad boy.
Oh yeah, that's kind of. They're actually 33 millimeter, but that one works good technical on it. Oh, it's technically three. It's you know, the Metric system I've ever heard about.
Yep, the Canadians use it I got stuck in Canada one time. That's another story too. Oh yeah. I remember that so you got four grand trees.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. what? Uh, what are you saying down to? well, the nut says 450 to 500. wow, what would you do? 475? That's right in the middle.
something in the middle I Go 500. So usually if I put them on good with the yellow gun, it takes about a quarter turn to click. click them. Okay, Oh yeah.
I think we got it. We're gonna start clicking all right. Can I let her down? Yeah, all the way you're just clutching. Let's see.
Okay foreign I Feel like a trucker this is I Bought this off a guy on Craigslist Yeah, because that's the same split meme they use for their half inch one. it is. Yeah, we're about to go 500 500. All right. What do people want? Foot pounds, One pound per foot of I think it's 12 inches. Put one pound on the end of it, right? Okay, so I think so. Okay here. Whatever you say, that's a bigger hair so we don't fall over it.
I Usually push down. Oh, it's a good idea. Oh, we might have I say the quarter turn, but it might be more than a quarter. Holy moly.
There She Goes let's just call your double Clicker Oh, you're not even going to crisscross Are you clockwise now I torque them counterclockwise. Same thing. only different this could be up. is that scientific? It's uh, my shop.
My rules. Okay, my truck I'd do it the same off camera too. but these people are Savage I don't care Okay I don't care well unless I lose them unless I lose a set of duels on the Thruway yeah then you'll care. The insurance company says hey, we were watching a video.
that's how you putting them things on by yourself and I'll say ah in between in between then and when the accident happened I was down a slice. they had them off. Let your brother take the heat. Yeah, you're rolling.
Oh yeah, by the way Sunny Surface of a boat I'm supposed to do a commercial for him. Oh yeah, make sure you match. Wow! back when I was there, this was our torque wrench. Okay, so I don't know how many others that takes to make that, but I can tell you what if I put that on, put these on with that this 500 will click before it even moves.
Oh yeah, I don't I don't do that and I'll run these oh half a day or something. then I'll come back and check them on. Yeah I always do. That's no lie.
Well we got. we got a video coming up on Jeep Liberty Lady come in for a clunking noise. Oh yeah, is that the one you called me to help me diagnose? Yeah, that one see I can lie about whatever I want you people don't know true that League's Wheels were falling off they were yep both back tires for a little back tire response making uh knocking. Some Noise You're not giving away the ending of the video right now are you? It's pretty much the whole video I'm trying to come out with it before I come out with this one.
This is where I started. Yep, yeah, they're good for now and realistically for the people tear me apart, they are coming off again because the lady you mentioned the polishes for me taking them all over her shop the other ones and she's going to take care of them for me. Okay, you should get them back in six months or something. I Realistically I didn't say that all day.
Well, no I think you got these people? Do you want me to come on? No, but you gotta I've got to take them right. Back off. Yeah, there's a big box over there I Just threw them all together. All right.
Well Yoast, that's how you say that it's not Jost I like Mexican because I don't know I thought it was like yogurt like an Amish Well I said Jost and your brother said yoast and then well you don't know Spanish Wow, you think of Spanish it would be right. You're like Jose made in the USA I don't know. Best thing they do is call a company. Got these on here too. Let people comment how you think that's pronounced. Let's show them the tag. Josh oh is it just we don't know. Somebody will call the company and let us know.
Let us know in the comments, questions, concerns, tell us how to say that. Oh heck to say that. I can't swear on here, right? Uh, tell us where I'm not sure. it's not a place you want to be Andy All right.
Well, when you're done, we want to go for a rep. Oh okay, how many gears they have 18 and 13. it's got 18. 18.
I wouldn't have any last time. Okay I came with 13. I put 18 speed in it. Okay and we can hit them all.
Sure Perfect. Sure we can do whatever we want. You gonna let me drive? Yeah, you can drive. Cool.
You got the CDL right? Just say yes. Yep. Yep, that's all. So yeah.
that would be good. Sounds like fun, Sweet. All right, we're out of here. What's up?.
nice truck and wheels and tires what does he think of the new automatic eighteen speed?
XDN2’s suck by 12/32’s 🤷🏻♂️
Those are Michelin's winter tires work good for on road use anything for off road they suck. I don't like Michelin tires, weak casings, good for a pavement princess use them on a vocational truck forget it. Been a couple years now since I've had to do tires used to be on a regular basis when you run bin trucks flats and tire damage is unavoidable.
A little dab-o-frey lube on the hub pilot lands will keep you from struggling to take those tires off when it's time. Or Fluid Film. baaaaaaah
That's a lot of ugga duggas.
Interesting video. Thx!👍😁👍
Dude My ears are ringing from when that wheel fell down
Dreadful sound quailty
Michelin XDNs. Best drive tires ever.
That was cool and different can't wait for the ride in it. Thank you Eric very entertaining.
Gold
Those balance beads are neat got my 35s on my truck ride smoothe 2 different tire shop tried to balance them normally but beads were only way they were happy
YOHST. German Js are pronounced Y. Jungen pronounced Yungen (youngin).
Where is Andy’s channel?
Bring back memories when I was making semi tanks
Mr. O Your the best, love it
Great video! I used to drive the big trucks. It always amazed me watching our tire guy move those tires around and mounting them up. It’s a real art.
Thanks for showing us things we have not seen before.
I always assumed it was pronounced jahst.
This was very entertaining and different content. Nice to switch it up once in a while. Thank you.
Great video Eric. Andy is a cool guy. Cheers.
The Alcoa Budd wheels on my motorhome are torqued to 500 ft. lbs., too. $700 is pretty cheap for a truck tire but maybe the prices have come down since I bought the last set for the motorhome.
3 stars and a circle. 1st star- feather the lugs on WITH a torque stick. 2nd star- 1 to 2 ugga duggas WITH torque stick. 3rd star- torque WRENCH to spec. CIRCLE- torque wrench to make sure you didn't miss any………..3 stars and a circle. Done
Great video. Fun to watch and listen to you two!
We put those tires in a cage when airing them up. Safety third or fourth.
Cool video
I can't help but wondering why this guy sounds like he's from the PRNY but Eric O. does not. Maybe it's because I've listened to Eric for so long? IDK. 😊
11r24.5 Michelin drive tires! It doesn’t get any better than that!
want to see Eric drive the 18! LOL
Awesome video Eric O.
Something different, but still entertaining nontheless.
Good rubber can almost (and I stress almost) be a joy to put on, now mounting up shangdong linglongs finest can break a man in two
Great idea for a video Mr.O. Andy seems like a cool guy.
Man, I wish we had more Andys in this world.
As funny as this video was, the silliest part of it is that fifth wheels are known to the state of California to cause cancer.
“Just say yes”!
I had to use that same torque wrench to put the pitman arm on my SuperDuty…
Love the relationship between you and Andy. Hope you drop in for more visits!
Serpent demount tool is well worth the money. Saves your back , the demount of the bead from ground no lifting the tire and wheel up . I am too cheap to use dawn I use the little remnants of bar soap from my shower. Occasionally put some generic dawn with it.
That was fun!
If Eric O. thought a welder was a comment generator, just wait until everybody watches him drive a semi.
How about you guys just sit down with a couple of microphones and a coffee and let’s talk stories for a couple hours cause I’ll bet you you two together could keep us rolling in stitches for 234 hours and then maybe we’ll talk about a few dear stories here and there maybe that one that Eric missed maybe will let him tell us all about his excuses come on guys let’s have some fun this is the best video I’ve seen in a year❤️🇺🇸
Great shop
Wait a minute…..what about balancing?
Jost International started in the 80's in Grand Rapids and they say it with a J sound. Like someone else mentioned it's of German origin and pronounced with a Y sound over there.
There's a good hand tool company out of Kansas called Wilde and they say it "Whild-D" but it's a German last name and would sound more like "Ville-da".
Nothin like a set of Michelins to get you down the road, no matter what you drive! Except their PAX tires and super singles, they blow!😂😂
Some of the things Andy said, and the way he said sounded so much like what you would say Eric. There must be something in the Avoca water lol.
fun
Back in my 20”s I delivered truck parts. This takes me back. Seen this many times. 👍
oh that is easy it is josh, easy to say.
how are we able to tell you how to say something over text
Nice bloke..
Good stuff.
You need to watch farming fixing and fabricating channel…. they do tires all the time!
good to see other people grunting what kind of chuk did he have i want one
A great video, Eric. Andy has a pretty quick wit. His “Is that the one I had to help diagnose?” After you brought up a Jeep Liberty war story was especially clever.
Grand Haven Michigan is next to the largest concentration of Americans with Dutch ancestry. This is a Dutch last name pronounced Yoost. The "oo" as in boot. There are 500,000 Americans with Dutch ancestry lining in three neighboring counties. Grand Haven is the county seat of one of those three. The town of Holland Michigan is just 20 miles from Grand Haven Michigan. Holland was settled in 1847 by Dutch immigrants. The city is known for its Dutch cultural identity. The Tulip Time Festival is the largest celebration of Dutch heritage in America. Over 28% of the population of Holland Michigan is of Dutch descent.
Your opening line walking in the door was almost in another langauge. Love ya Eric….and were thst Ford hat.
If the repair thing doesn't pay the bills, there's always the comedy thing
Jost (Yost pronunciation). There's a plant here.
Thanks for the fun video. I was wondering about those photographs, that were hanging on the wall, in the background.
Sounds Dutch to me!
7 years old is the limit for recapping in the usa
That guy could be you brother.
I have no first hand experience working on something that big and heavy duty but is it standard to not balance tires on a big rig? and won't that desiccant bag cause a vibration?
This video made my back hurt.
It's German.
Jost. Like Colin Jost. SNL.
Compressors are Noise Makers but they sure as heck beat the bicycle tire foot pumps. 😬👍🙏
really enjoy these videos you guys are a riot together
What in the world did the air tank do to the tire to make it pop? I don't understand what happened…
Less talk more action 😂 lol
Why no machine like for passenger tires?(but bigger)
Pure gold!
That was fun and entertaining. If any of you have aluminum wheels, don't use soap as it will corrode the bead area.
HOST!
Where's the video of the Jeep Liberty did I miss it?
This video was funny. If you thought that Andy’s home built bead seater was dangerous, then you ought to seat them using the Cosby Sauce.
"My Guy" I guess you are from new york Eric! lol
Oh boy that rim hitting the floor. Good ol tinnitus maker for us headphone users.
And here I thought Eric was the coolest guy in Avoca!
yost
Cool beans man. 😎 Always informative and entertaining.
It always surprised me how a load of beads in the tire will balance it
The Jost convertible 5th wheel. Must have a frameless dump to pull. 😉
Vicariously hanging with you and your friend. Love it!
I do not miss slinging Black and Rounds!
About how many miles do these tires last?
That fifth wheel plate looks good
Brand new Michelins hardly ever need to be blasted to seal.
Speaking of '74. I'm restoring a '74 Kawasaki triple motorcycle. Went to O'Reilly's and asked the young man behind the counter where to find carb cleaner. He said are you really working on actual carbs? He said the motorcyle you're working on must be really old, I've never seen them on a motorcycle before. Sounds he thought me and my motorcyle were as old as dirt.
Leave the link for the shirt auction below 👇
8.25/9.00 × 22.5/24.5 aluminum wheels can be mounted from either side.
Ah… Eric, that's a Phase 4 tire..
Fsck he's funny. I almost died when he said not to stand in front of the bolts.
Never stay in front of an open ball valve. I’ve seen the ball fly out like a canon and go through a concrete wall.
I see a little moonlighting with Andy as his cameraman and 'Youtube mentor' in your future, Eric. He would do well and you'd have something to do with all that spare time you have. If nothing else, maybe make it a recurring series called "Living on the edge with Andy".
[hearing damage intensifies]
I think this was the most fun Andy had putting tires on. Sure beats working alone
Pronounced….Joe….st. 🇨🇦
Hmm can't find andy on YouTube.
nice to see you outside the shop MR O. i think the last time was with your bro on the tow truck.
