Putting air in the duals
 
What are you doing to put air in your inside wheels on your dually? I can't reach mine with any of the long handled big truck inflator's I've got, the angle is wrong with the wheel simulators and the holes are too small, and was thinking of going to something like the Wheel Masters 80022. http://www.wheelmasters.com/inflators.html
Any experiences of others would be welcome.

cheers,

I've seen them used on motor homes. Never heard of any problems. I have been looking for a stainless set, Thanks for the info, Ron

I had a set of wheels on my dually that were a pain. I figured out that if I put the outer wheen on a certain way, I could reach the stem with a truck inflator. Now with the Alcoa hotshots, I can stick my whole hand in there!

They have them in stainless as well. The reason I was looking at that particular set, is that they are live. You still retain a functional air valve on the rim, so if the extension leaks for any reason, you don't lose the air in the tire, unlike most of the other types of extensions.

More thinking, more planning to do. Thanks, Ron

When I had a dually, I used extensions like that from tractor supply.

Yeah, I used those on my 3500 Silverado and they worked great, never leaked. There's not too many other ways to do it.
