We changed the nose tire on my CJ on Saturday and I don't recall it being a three hour process, but it was. 



  

Getting the axle out without buggering it up was the hardest part.  I recall having the "correct" thing for pushing that through at one time but we wound up using a 21mm deep socket (which was too small, but mostly worked)  and banging it through with much force. 



  

Isn't the "right" way to get the axle banged out to use a hardwood dowel of just the right size and whack it through?  Or is there another method?

Doug Sapp has the proper tool. I won one +/- 15 years ago at All Red Star.

Is there a ready-made / printed procedure for changing the CJ6 nose tire?

I've changed the mains before, but never the nose (yet).

If anyone has a proven procedure and list of needed & recommended tools, please share... 

Thanks & much appreciated,

Ditto on the CJ nose gear changing procedure;  done it once and ended up with two big guys and ugly hammers and air tools wrestling the rubber off the rim.  No fun.  What’s the trick?  Pictures help for us former Naval Aviators;). Will search the list to if previously posted.
