I took our coach to the tire place I have used for years the other day. Only 2 of the old techs are still there. It is basically a truck tire shop. When the guy came to get started. Another guy came over with him and explained in his language that the right side is right hand and the left side is left hand. The guy said like Isuzu. He didn't really understand English and I totally didn't understand his language, but he got the job accomplished for me. I was very appreciative of the one guy helping the other guy out.

An impact screwdriver got the screws out and a 10lb sledge hammer with a lot of PB blaster got the drum off.

Humpty Dumpty is all back together. I put all new studs, inner nuts, and outer nuts in since I was in there.  thanks for all the help guys, this forced me to get comfortable jacking the coach up off the ground and tearing into a new area that I haven't been before.  really not that big of a deal now that I have the tools but you don't know until you know.

New axle and lug nut caps are on and she looks great  ^.^d

Good job Elliott! Those are some lengthy valve stems, hope you have valve stem stabilizers.

Nice.  Are they right or left threaded?
I took the time to use the cats eye connector to tie the inner and outer together . Plus spun the outer stem to the outside . Now I can single point add air . Your package looks a lot nicer than mine .
