This is what you need for a flat tire replacement. 2 mechanics, unsafe for 1 person, 2 tires (with a flat you have to also replace the opposite tire on the same axle), tire dolly, 60 to 80 ton jack, access to compressed air for jacking the tires off the ground, torque wrench, axle nut socket, ratchet and/or wrenches, wire cutters, safety wire pliers, torque wrench, axle grease and rags. read more
