I had to change a flat tire on the gravel entrance to a CG in Florence, AZ. It is a tedious process. As Cheri stated, to change a tire on most units you do need to open the shells and remove the wheel skirt. Be sure to place the bottle jack (or other type) under the frame and not on the axle when jacking the TM. In changing the tire I also deployed the fore and aft stabilizers to help secure the unit. I carry an extra piece of wood to use in case the ground is too soft.
