: How do they change the tires off an airplane? Do they have airplane sized car jack to help lift up the plane?

Answer 1

I thought they jacked up the plane near the landing gear needing replacement and just replaced part of the arm and the entire wheel/axle assembly at the same time. Making it a task possible within a day. Edit: sorry yes they have airplane sized jack. Those planes are balanced so perfectly it doesn’t take much to lift one side enough to replace components.
