Hose clamp to help with tyre change

I copied this idea from Youtube. That is Bourke, NSW, with the hole in their parking area.

Yup. And the wood went back behind the rural brigade shed.

For less than $200 you can get a less than 0.5 kg jack from Peter Anson Engineering.  I have one and the need to remove a wheel is no trouble.  Worth the money spent the first time you use it.  Imagine need to source support and or dig a hole and hot humid temp.  It's a bugger.

Jacks Fail , when the wheel is too low to use ' jack ' .

4X4 driving I carry an " exhaust jack " ,

Just push it under the car away from heat , & the engine lifts the car high enough to get that jack or anything available to make vehicle' safe ' to work on .

Also I saw a " half wheel "  jack , were you put said H W Jack under axle move forward & wheel it up high .

Been there done that . LoL

Our Planes are so light they need BuGG@ all to lift one side of them, especially if they are already tilted the right way. The "thing" must not slip though.. Nev

Spacey google Peter Anson Engineering and see how low his new design is and at 450 grams.  Excellent product and he has a range of other aircraft stuff.

Blueadventures has nailed it, these Anson jacks would have to be the ducks gonads - light, simple designs, and specifically designed for light aircraft.
