Super helpful! Thank you! The stacking rolls of tape under the rim was genius.

Just wanted to share, the hardest part of this job is holding the old rim when trying to get the tire back on as mentioned. I have found the easiest way for me is to put a short piece of rebar (could possibly use the axle itself) in my bench vice pointing up. Then drop the rim over that so it sticks up through the axle hole in the rim to work on it. I also smeared dish soap on both sides of the tire bead and was able to get the tire back on with just my hands working it on slow so no chance of puncturing the new tube. Hope that helps someone else!

Damaged a tire on my Scag Zero turn. The dealer wanted $150 for one rear tire. kzfaq.infoUgkx985f3iNjxHFMO6JoE7CSGActiIEyumFx Local tire store wanted $95 for one tire and both said I would need two tires because the replacements were 2 ply and the OEM was 4 ply which would result in different diameters when inflated if not mounted in pairs. I ordered two of these for less than $90, they arrived in two days instead of the promised 5 days. they are 4 ply rated and when mounted I can't tell the difference with the Grassmaster that came on my Scag, except the sidewall doesn't appear to be as stiff. Tread pattern is identical with the Grassmaster. Will keep the other new tire as an extra if the other OEM is damaged.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been trying for the last hour to put the tire and tube back on the rim at the same time. My arms are barely still attached. Your method helped me actually do it in about 5-8 minutes with a crow bar... Very different than changing bike tires.

Jim showed me how to deal with a difficult wheelbarrow tire job. Thanks Jim.

Thanks for the video. As with most KZfaq videos, I pick up a trick or two that helps a lot. I just finished putting a tube in my wheelbarrow tire, using no screwdrivers (I don't have the tire spoons).. helpful things after I had everything apart, clean out the inside of the tire and check it very carefully for any debris, prop up the hub of the rim a bit (I used a roll of drywall mesh tape I had laying around), grease the rim of the tire with oil. I actually put the tire back on the rim just using my hands. Easiest tube I have ever put in after ruining rims and many new tubes in the past. Thanks for the tips in the comment section

Thanks for the great video! I did find an easy way to get the tire back under the rim. I used a screwdriver and 2 pair of small vice grips. Lock one vice grip on the rim to keep the tire down. Then use a screwdriver and another vice grip to keep working and holding the tire under the rim until done.

I would rate his KZfaq sigh as a 7/10. One of the best ive ever heard.

Thanks for the demo on how to rassle one of these ...and especially your insight on pros of innertube vs never-flat option. I had no idea if I should go with the solid tire or not, but now am going with inner tube.

Thank you so much! You kept us from wrecking our tire trying to get the thing out! And for showing us how to get the thing back together! It’s up and running! More thanks! Ron and Gail

Another tip I can give is the valve stem leans to one side when tube is inflated so I put some air in the tube first, mark the tube with a pencil the side it leans, then deflate it and install accordingly. I didn't do this the first time I put it in and when i started putting air in it the valve stem flung back inside the rim towards opposite side. I had to break it all down, remove it and start over.

Thank you for this. So much better than the instructions on the packet. I would never have thought of first putting the tyre on the rim before packing in the inner tube. But it worked a treat. Thanks again.

Thanks a ton Jimbo! I got the tire off the rim no problem, but getting it back on was a nightmare. Windex did the trick! You da man!!!!

1:40 Jimbo has removed the wheel from the wheelbarrow; wheel is on the workbench. 2:00 The tube has been removed from the tire. 2:20 He unwraps a new tube. 2:40 Make sure to get a 480 x4 x 8 inch tube. 3:15 Tube is in the tire and value stem is pulled through in the wheel. 3:40 He starts to work the tire onto the rim. 5:06 Tire is on the rim. Tire irons for small tires are available with rounded ends to avoid pinching. Try searching for "tire spoons". Thanks, best wishes.

Thanks for the help, you saved me hours of frustration. Jimbo, you know what you are doing. :)

I was struggling with my wheelbarrow inner tube replacement but feel better to see you struggled as well. LOL I've remove full size car tires manually a few times when I was young, but for the life of me the wheelbarrow tire was much more difficult. After puncturing the tube multiple times with the screw drivers, finally invested in a set of tire spoons.

Good point about solid tires! The tape roll trick is nifty too, Thanks Jimbo!

I wrestled with the damn tire for an hour …thank god for your video:)

Thank you Jimbo. Helped a lot especially to have half the tire on then put the tube in. Side note I used wd40 to lubricate it. Worked pretty good.

Excellent, straight forward.

Jimbo's right about one thing, it's a pain in the ass for sure. Thanks for the vid, it did help me out,

Lubricating the tire to make it easier to pull back over the rim is a good idea. If you use engine oil, try to use as little as possible and then try to wipe up whatever remains after getting the tire on the rim (before you add air to it), because engine oil will degrade rubber over time. Better to use a silicone lubricant, which is non-petroleum based.

Thank you!!!!! After reading the instructions coming with the inner tube, I was really wondering..... They should just give a link to your video!!! Thanks!!! Daniel M.

Windex, genius move!

Thanks for the video. I just changed miner in 10 minutes.

Thanks jumbo, I thought I was doing wrong, turns out it's real pain in behind. I am going to struggle on.

It is not only the tube replacement but also yo have to clean and paint the whole wheelbarrow to give a very good look to it, I should do it😜

Thank's for the video, but..... That tire shouldn't be used again, you can see that the steelwire are apart from the tirebead. And also when putting in a new tube one has to feel inside the tire that there isn't anything sharp inside. And it's much easier if you clamps the rim in a vice, instead have it loose and a bench. And last, do not use a screwdriver when mounting, use a tyre bar instead.

Thanks Jimbo!

Vise grips help hold the tire with the top bead but very good vid👍

A small c-clamp helps in getting the tire back on the rim.

Thanks for this video. I bought the replacement tube and installed it this afternoon.

Thank you. I was having trouble because I forgot about putting Windex on the tire.

Getting tire back over rim driving me crazy. I'll try the spray & the stacked tape rolls. Fingers crossed.

Worked! Thanks

Great really helpful

Just curious, how much do you charge to do this?

Can a Tube-Style Tire (Wheelbarrow Tire 4.80x4-8) Be put on a Tubless Rim (either without a tube or with a tube ?)

Thanks😊

OK. Looks pretty straightforward, now let's see how I get on.

When putting tyre back on, I have found standing on it easier than risking screwdrivers.

3:40. The next fart is the fun part. Haha always is

You do that weekly and u don't have tire spoons to prevent nicking with a big sharp edged screwdriver? Even as a kid I used big pliers to avoid hitting the tube with a screwdriver. Just saying. If you're gonna give advice to novices, educate them better. Don't know how many bicycle tires I fixed as a kid. Was pissed when I'd put on a brand new tube and nick it with a screwdriver edge. Thanks

Had to change 4 heavy duty lawn tractor tires one day, it started raining and everything got wet and slippery. My not-so-mechanically-inclined neighbor came over to chat right in the middle while I was was working on them 🙄. I kept working/struggling and after a few mins I was like - I’m a little busy right now can we talk later? The tire change was brutal but I pushed through and got it done.

I tried doing that and punctured 3 tubes, it didn’t work for me

So no need to check the tyre first for any nails etc?

My wheelbarrow tire caught on fire. it was because i was working so fast and the tire got to hot. It definitely had nothing to do with the lack of attention being paid to the burn barrel it was right next to while i went inside for a sandwich.

You didn't show how to break the tire from the rim!!

To put it back on, get your legs into the action. Piece of cake when you keep pressure on it with your legs.

Some guy in another video used a crow bar to get it back on the rim. Ever try that?

One thing l would have done before installing the new tube: After l had pulled the old tube out l would have checked the inside of the tyre for thorns, grit etc i.e. anything that could cause another puncture. 😉

What music is that in the background? Great guitar playing...

Did not show complete process, just high level.

Everything shown is simple common sense, but the hardest part of the job is completely skipped in this video. Taking the tire off the wheel! This one happened to already be off the rim so the job was simple, but you should make a video where the flat tire is still seated on the wheel and has to be pried off.

Helpful video, though it would have been more fun if you’d punctured the inner tube😀. Thanks for posting

And here I thought I had to spend 50 bucks at Home Depot for a whole new tire and rim!

you missed the hardest part...pulling the tire from the rim of the wheel

Add a little oil goes on real smooth.no effort.

Cheers 🍻 fròm 🦘I’m surfíń 🏄‍♂️ about awÖnderíń if there was a miniature version of a car change press, with the usual duck 🦆 head guide. Thanks 🙏🏼 Åll the same 😉🤙🏼

That tire needs some serious cleaning before you put that tube in.

Gloves wouldn't hurt

How do I measure the tire for a replacement tube when I threw the old one away? Call me stupid, I can handle it!

Curvee need nose pliers. Easier than a screwdriver, cheaper than a tire spoon.

oh come on do it while it's still on the wheelbarrow

I would've checked the inside of tyre before introducing the inner tube!!,sorry...

My valve moved....

thank you for NOT showing first step - how to remove wheel from the barrel

You can get a set of 'tire spoons' in an appropriate size for $20 or less, and a bottle of 'Slime' may prevent some future flat tires. Today's tear was beyond help. Perhaps you may consider fabricating a small tire changing rig, a small version of the one's that we all learned on back-in-the-day...

Jimbo called the valve cap a stem, which it’s not. He also said to be careful not to puncture the rim. He should have said be careful not to puncture the tube.

FAIL The first thing you do is check inside the tyre. Make sure there is nothing left in there.

thanks bro! I used a couple of bricks on each side and got it on first try after a whole day of frustration and despair I didnt even have to get under the lip I just pushed it down...which worked with my elbows holding it in place thats the big difference..also put it the tyre under a hot shower to make it more flexi...not sure if that helped tho tbh

That Wheelbarrow looks dirty, you have to clean it with soap.

Try not to puncture tube not rim

Why do they not design the rims so they can be taken apart? It would have to be easier to take out a few bolts than to do that.

WHY WINDEX ????????

my tire is wayyy tighter then yours shown

good vid. loose the music

Looks like a terrible job to do

"take the valve stem off" - you meant take the valve CAP off. "Try not to puncture the rim" - you mean try not to puncture the tube. Very messy getting the tyre back on the rim. Ordinary video.
