After all the wonderful help I received in my other thread about exhaust gaskets, I decided to ask another question about changing tires. Not the actual job itself, I've read the manual and some articles, and watched a couple of you tube vids, so I have the procedure down. My problem is jacking the airplane. I have access to a wing jack, but I'd prefer to jack it as little as possible. I like the Bogert Tribal Jack, but it's rather spendy for what it is. Does anyone ever use a floor jack, or some other device to just raise the axle rather than fully extending the oleo?
