Sometimes it can be very difficult to re inflate a small tubeless tyre if the bead has come of the rim. This method works well with small tires such as lawn mowers, quads and quad bikes, hand trucks etc...
Thanks! Getting ready for the first winter storm last night only to discover the tire on my snow blower was flat flat flat! You saved the day with this video. Ratchet strap and compressor, and 10 minutes was all it took!
Thank you for taking the time to post this video. I loved listening to you talk and this was super informative. Now to see if I can do this with bungee cords because I don't have that thing you used.
I fought with my snow blower tire for hours until I found your method. It works like a charm. I fought more with the strap than anything else but once I got the strap on, it works in less than a minute. Thank you very much.
Thank you for making a tricky job easy. No need to take the tyre off and it was back on fully inflated after just two attempts. I had to move the strap closer to the rim that was off and it all came together on the second attempt.
Fantastic advice mate. I was fighting with a tire trying to get it to seal, got frustrated and decided to check youtube for a better way. This worked perfectly and only took a couple minutes.
I had tried it with just the straps, the key is taking the valve out and having a good pump. I strapped mine up and took it to the gas station. Gotta remember the "dangerous" part! Caught my thumb releasing the strap (it always happens to me when I use straps) Excellent method, thanks!
There used to be strap iron bands with a worm screw to do this with car tires way back when. I tried duplicating them with a chain and bolt/nut on my dolly tires when my son pointed out that a ratcheting strap would do the same thing but much easier. It worked just like your very good video. It wasn't necessary to remove the valve core with the strap on, and you need only just enough pressure to seat the beads--a few psi only. That's a little safer.
I never thought of using a ratchet strap. I just use a rope around the tyre and twist to tighten with a screwdriver. Eventually a tube is needed though. Thanks for the tip!
Hey mate great video, some really useful info right there, my dads a truckie in Australia and I've seen both methods being used a fair few times but that's the first time I've seen your method on something as small as a mower wheel and thb 10 minutes ago I wouldn't have tried it so thanks for that :) btw, spraying canola oil seems to work a bit better than lighter fluid for larger truck tyres and the like but your method is defiantly safer, providing the strap is strong enough.. Cheers :)
I put dishwashing liquid on the rim with my finger, put rope with a slip knot around the tire, pulled hard while the compressor was running and it filled right up. Similar to what you did.
ok, as long as the tire beads are already close to the rims. If they've collapsed inward more than, say, 3/4 of an inch inward from the rims, I don't think this will work. At least it didn't work for me.
Hahahaha, all that fixing and trying and then lasted few months and do it again. Here is an easier way... Get an Inner Tube for $8.00 at Harbor Freight, it will last you YEARS :))))... Or until the Tire is out of Threads, LOL - TIME= $$$$ Your Choice!
