It's the one part of changing a rear tyre I really dislike. As one of my early jobs in my youth was as a Tyre-Fitter I enjoy doing my own tyres. Also another tricky bit single handed is clamping to the beads on refit so I've got some of these ready as well, https://shorturl.at/fqBEM https://i.imgur.com/q3yrkjX.jpg |

https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...+wheel+removal Bear in mind that you need either a decent powered air-compressor or transport to take the wheel to a Garage/Petrol station with an Airline otherwise getting the tyre to inflate and then seat the beads is virtually impossible. I will try to inflate the rear tyre when I do it with the little USB one I previously posted but doubt it will do it but will see :) I have a set of these Tyre Spoons/Rim savers and always use some of this, Tyre Mounting Paste eBay I break the beads using this method but outside so use a bit of old carpet under the wheel to protect it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHHzCxMvxAM |

Using a grafter spade looks good!

The Civic rims started seeping with age.I used to break the seal by putting a board onthe edge of the rim and then driving up the board and tthenthe usually the seal would then give. To reseal a bead I used gutter sealant Always seemed to work and easy to clean off when a new tyre fitted

"Losing the plot"
In my conservatory there is a small gap in the panelling and a house spider lives there. He/she makes a messy web near my door but I am tolerant of this. I am starting to question my own sanity when I started putting water out for it. I laughed but I've carried on doing it. House spiders can get enough food but can find it a problem getting water which is why you find them in the bathroom so often. My conservatory will hit >90°F so I supply water, as you may have guessed I live alone. :) My ex-wife was not so spider tolerant. |
