All Terrain Maxxis Van tyres

One of the jobs this week was a VWLT35 van, the owner had bought the van a couple of weeks ago as a 'project' he was going to modify it and turn it into a camper van. The van had already been into a garage and had some work done to the suspension and had new brakes fitted. The garage also pointed out that the tyres needed replacing as they were perishing, this was not something the garage would do, but they recommended Hometyre to the owner.

The owner decided that he wanted to have Maxxis All Terrain tyres fitted all round. I started by attempting to loosen the wheel nuts on each wheel. These had been massively over tightened, I could not get them to undo, even using a 3ft breaker bar. Luckily I carry an impact driver and using that along with and impact socket was able to hammer it on each nut and loosen them. This allowed me to then jack up and remove each wheel from the van. They were then taken into my van and each tyre was replaced with a new Maxxis tyre. Once complete, each wheel was balanced and put back on the van. This time the wheel nuts were tightened using a torque wrench to the correct tightness for that vehicle.
