This Is How Trailer Boards Get Replaced

This trick with a car wheel is quite dangerous, but very effective for replacing old boards on a trailer. The principle is simple: the wheel serves as a support, under which the old board is positioned. With the help of a partner, the wood is gradually bent until it fits precisely into place on the trailer. But it's removing the wheel that's the moment requiring maximum concentration: the board can suddenly straighten out and snap back with enough force to cause serious injury.
