I've searched the posts and didn't come across another post with ideas or pictures to lift the Rv10 (by axles?) to change tires, so if there is such a post out there, please forward.
I installed new tires and tubes this week on my Rv10 and used a 1" x 15" heavy wall stainless pipe to insert into the axle and jacked the assembly up. This is the same method I used to change tires on my Rv7a. You need a much heavier pipe because of the heavier weight and also be careful to have a tight enough fit inside so you don't "egg" the axle. I mic'd it at 1.1".
I use a clamp around the gear legs and use a standard jack to lift the wheel using the area where the screw is on the clamp as the point to grab. Works for a tire change without scratching a thing.
Harbor Freight bottle jack, with a custom welded stand, and a customed bracket that screws into the wing tie down hole. The other variations should work just as well.
wing jacks, similar to Bob's, about 24yrs ago, for my Cherokee 235 --- have been using them since for RV-6A, -8A, -7A, and -10 ----- work great! I use an antique scissors jack under the nut, for the nose gear.
