Another trick is to take a small 16" tube, air it up and hold it around the top bead to seal off the gap between it and the rim flange. No core in the stem. You have to get more air in than what is escaping.
Did the same but put it near the woodstove in the shop, the cold weather brings on a whole list of problems.. Sent from my SM-G965U1 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Don't forget to take out the valve stem so you can get large volume of air. Sent from my XT1254 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Screw with a tire on flat rate for an hour and anything that works is great. Sent from my SM-J327W using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Lol, got that right! Nothing more satisfying than the pop of a stubborn bead finally set. Well sex, maybe. I've used ether for more years and tires than I can count. Guess I should quit. Along with the Blue Blazers and Cherries Jubilee.
well finally got the tires pumped up i used a bicycle inner tube between the tire bead and rim it was a pain in the ass but it worked pulled the tube out and the front side of tire was seated then had to pull the tire to the back side and got it to seat,glad thats done thanks for all the info guys !!!
There’s all the difference in the world in doing something as a hobby in your garage and making a living on the line. I sometimes have to laugh at some of the comments here, you can tell which guys have been in the trenches and which one haven’t......fairly easily. Bones
Local tire shop installed my 285-70/15's on 10" wheels using a "Cheeta " air blaster..Made a helluva racket ,but did the trick...
If you have real magnesium wheels DO NOT USE SOAP as it will corrode the wheel. This is a copy of the warning that Ted put in every wheel box.Frank
