Dismounting and Mounting a Tire in the Garage

[Shawn]

work smarter not harder

I found nothing hard about this task. I look at things as a Challenge not a Chore.

ps,

When you are on the trail, and you need to dismount a tire, go find a station to help your flabby ass.

Shawn,
Very good demo. Looks very similar to my tire training video. I would suggest one thing however and that is the use of Murphy’s soap (tire demounting and mounting product). It will make it much easier to mount and dismount the tire from the rim as well as help prevent bead damage. Another producct I use to remount tires is Frylube. Both products can be bought at Myers tire supply on 3rd west. Well worth the $10 or so investment.
Also a word of warning, stay clear of the tire when airing it up.

PS they also have tie irons and bead breaking irons that help. I love the bead breaker I bought from them. No more driving on the tires to break the bead.

Just think what I could do to a 39" IROK.................

whats funny is, I mounted and unmounted my SXs no problem, but I fought my Iroks all day (literally) and only got one of them on...decided it was worth my time to go pay 4WPW $12 to throw them on...

Nice write-up though...

Good effort Shawn!(applause) Now do that to a swamper that's been mounted for a while. I just got a tire buster and life is alot easier, and in your case alot cleaner.

Awe, come on dude, if yer tough 'nough to bust tires you should be able to handle a little ribbin'...

Seriously though, the aforementioned Murphees works great.

NAPA has a $60 slide hammer type bead breaker that works pretty good. I usually throw it on the trailer or in the tow rig whenever I leave the neighborhood... It saved my butt once out on the road too.

Looks good, back when I lived in Zambia there would be local kids (9-12 years old) that would post themselves by potholes (these are African potholes) and do exactly this, for a small price.

...place your pry bar in the back side...

That doesn't sound comfortable... :greg: Otherwise, nice write-up.

Really bumping a 5 year old thread?

Hey, it's a good thread. Myself and a couple of friends put my 40" MTRs on my H2 wheels. It sucked, but worked OK. I didn't need to go to the gym that day.

 

[Tacoma]

hahah Shawn, you're such a stud hahahah

This is a good thread. It's not that hard to do, and very handy on the trail. Or the highway. Or the middle of the desert, etc.

Why, do you carry your spare without a rim?

 

[Tacoma]

I was thinking more of reseating a bead.
