Let me give you a little tip on remounting these little suckers, just leave in the sun for about an hour , let the rubber heat up a little, then they will go on so much easier, your welcome.

Just changed my inner tube on my tiller. Took 15 minutes and no fowl language. What I would advise is use three 6 inch c clamps to help hold the tire from popping back up. As you pry the tire bead onto the rim keep adding c clamps to squeeze the tire to hold it in place as you move your screw driver around. Lubricate the tire bead with any kind of oil. This helps the tire bead to slide down your screw driver. Went faster and smoother than expected. Hope this helps fellow DIY.

Maybe it's because I live in a rural area where the tendency is to always help out others whenever you can. Besides, it's great marketing tool for them since the next time I need to buy tires for one of my vehicles, they will be the first place I consider.

There is a small shop that would likely do it for me but I'd feel a little out of place if I were to ask him to mount tires that I didn't buy from him. He is a used tire seller and doesn't get wholesale discounts from tire makers so he doesn't deal in new tires.

Another tip is with the tubes I got the valve stem on the tube leans a little in the direction it needs to go into the hole on the rim. I inflate the tube a little and mark the intertube on the side the valve stem leans. I didn't do that the first time so when I aired up the tire the valve stem popped out of the hole and went to the other side of the rim. I had to break it all down and turn the tube in the other direction then it work perfectly.

You might mention the need to inspect the tire as it may have a nail/thorn/foreign object that punctured it still stuck in it that needs to be removed before replacing/repairing the inner tube. Careful not to jab or tear your skin as you feel for the foreign object. I speak from painful experience on this subject. Cheers all.

I went through three, new inner tubes, somehow puncturing them on the step at 3:46. The tools I used must have punctured the tube, as I was fighting to get that last step done. I was so careful, so careful, yet wasted my time and money. As I watched this video at this step, I was thinking he was going to do the same. It seems to me that at that step the rim needs to be elevated so that the tire could ride to the inner part of the rim so that it makes more slack. Since you don't know where the tub is sitting inside there when doing that. It would seem that a more blunt device be used to pry the tire over the rim in that step. The other thing I did was completely remove the tire to cut off the 2 patches I had put in previously. I also put in a 5.5 inch wide by 4 feet scrap of vinyl flooring to protect the tube from all the things that try to poke through when mowing. The tubes that I purchased were 15 x 6, but the tubes are way small to fill in all that space in the tire.

My tire was shot, so I ordered a new one from Walmart, (and a tube too) and damn these are hard to get off the rim lol! And even harder to get the brand new one back on haha! I was dripping sweat just getting the old one off ha, I was like hmm, I should check youtube for ideas to make it easier to get on the new one. One thing I'll have to mention, on MY lawnmower, the rim is slightly smaller on one side, (the side with the valve) about a 1/4 inch smaller diameter, so that helps a little to get it on! I didn't think I'd be able to get this damn thing on haha! And yes get the smaller side in first then put on the tube. Like he did. Lube would definitely help. I thought of using some soapy water, (and then letting it dry first) idk.

@tommurphy4307 Жыл бұрын

just like automotive rims- they have a depressed well where you can place the bead to give more room to slip the tire over the rim. there's also a hump which keeps the beads out of there during tire failure in motion. look for that depression in your rim.

I noticed you're using screwdrivers. Tire irons will pinch the tube. The spoons are too long. Works great if you're going back with tubeless. I have an idea how to use tire irons to keep from pinching the tube. Put a 4×4 in the ground kinda short with the end up. Drill a hole to insert a short piece of rebar. Set your rim on that. That'll keep the rim from dropping keeping the tube near the bottom away from being pinched.
