Thanks. I was having problems removing the rubber cap and wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing....Finished watching to the end. That is a GREAT idea, using the grinder to make the tire removal a lot easier.
Now see, I have watched a few videos on how to do this, and this is the first one that is useful. Thank you. You see, as a teenager I worked in a garage. I KNOW how to change a tire. But what everyone else who made a video on this subject seems to overlook is the fact that i DO NOT HAVE a pneumatic tire press, nor a tire machine in my garage! Big ass C-Clamp and a grinder. Now those I have. Roger that, buddy. This will work. Thanks again!
Great video but at almost 65 years old I just have to wonder why do you call a "c" clip an "e" clip but you still call a "c" clamp a "c" clamp... I'm hoping it's just to keep me from living another 24 days so I can say I made it to 65😂
You are a champion! I tried a strap and it worked great. I came here after an hour of mucking about trying to inflate the tyre. My frustrations were solved by your comment. Thanks!
@@Stratsman23 glad I could help. The shop I used to work at had a device that would shoot a sudden burst of air between the rim and the bead to seat it, but that was only for car and light truck tires. Like an air bazooka. It was kinda dangerous to use.
Thanks for the video! One of my tires got damaged so I had to take off to go get a new tire. When I went to put back on, i noticed the small metal pin/key and was wondering what it was. The one the axle was turned it was upside down so I didn't see the slot. Your video made me realize what the metal key was for and how to properly put the tire back on.
Great video, thanks! My tires were severely misshapen due to being packed for shipping. To seat the beads, I had better luck leaving the strap off, then using the starter fluid.
funbro1 my tires came basically ‘folded’ into a box for shipping, so every time I would tighten the strap, they would collapse back into that weird shape. Couldn’t get the beads near the rim.
Now for everyone: Be careful when you use this beading method. I used a strap to bead up a tire on a dolly recently. It WORKS. But...when you go to let loose that strap...it's going to pop back at you. It caught me in the thump and it was very painful. Just wear some thick gloves when you get to that part.
Can you tell me exactly what kind of fluid you use? I have tried small engine starter fluid, and charcoal lighter fluid so far with no success. Should they work?
Yea i dont remove the rim i just deflate the tire then drive the tractor to break the beed and the tire comes right off with the correct tire iron and the other one slides right over the rim with dish soap..use the weight of the lawn mower to take tire off rim...easy 5 minutes. Thats to much messing around with the rim. Work smarter not harder.
I drove around my backyard, then to my front, then up and down my driveway, and then back to my backyard, and then in circles. Nothing. I ended up just having my 350lb renter stand on the sides of the tire while it laid flat (after taking it off)
The tire bead is considered the edge of the tire that sits on the wheel. to seat the bead means to "seal" or 'Lock" it into its correct position. Hope this helps, Thanks for watching.
@@funbro1 the correct position just means flush against the rim, all the way around, right? Welcome. And thanks for the info. Both of my tires have those dry cracks all over and are flat. I think I need new ones. They weren’t even that old lol
