![]() 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 ![]()

OK. Will try and remember to chronicle it but there are videos on YouTube as well plus the WSM.
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

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
