One method for easily removing a rock stuck between dual tires

Have you ever had to remove a rock that was embedded between two dual tires? The way I have done it in the past was a pain, using pry bars or a sledge hammer. This video shows a U.S. Forest Service engine crew using a chain and the power of the truck.

I am guessing the engine is from the Coronado National Forest south of Tucson, Arizona.

  1. I didn’t even know the old way was with pry bars, the first way I learned to get rocks out was with a chain.

  2. Pretty sure that engine is from the Catalina District on the Coronado and the firefighter with the chain is my son, Steve Holley

  3. Cool vid, I saw the guys from the Alpine Hotshots do a similar thing with a rock in the buggy dual a couple of years ago when we were in NM, used a tow strap instaed of a chain, but the same principle.
