Changing a Tire

Because of the design of a Scotty axle, changing a Scotty tire is a little different than most. You have to jack the trailer up on both sides so the axle drops down to lower the wheels.

Park trailer on a flat level location where ground is firm.
Block your tires and loosen the lug nuts.
Lower the tongue as far down as it goes.

Place your jack under one rail and jack up as high as it will go
and then raise your jackstand up to that level.
Do the same on the opposite side.

An SUV version of the jackstand that will raise 21" works great.

When you have both wheels well off the ground, raise your trailer tongue
back up, which will raise the wheels even higher and allow the
axle to drop so wheel with the flat may be removed.
