Now, I know I heard you advise folks to start at the stem side and move their way down - which is correct - but you didn't follow your own advice. Worked out ok, but visuals are everything to some people, and the risk to damage to the stem/core is higher not starting to seat/unseat tires at the stem. Otherwise, solid video!

After 20 plus years of the tire being on the rim it is a fight battle to break through rust and severe tire stiffness.

Congratulations on a successful build! My grandson and myself are about start an electric to gas conversion. I also was gifted a 48V cart with 8 deader than dead batteries. I had no idea how much batteries had gone up in price! So with that in mind, coupled with wanting mo power, well gas it is! We’ve got frame rust to contend with also. Our cart lived in Bolivar, Texas, at the beach. So rust rust rust! I’ve been pondering whether or not to do a complete axle swap, with an new axle assembly and engine tray mounted to a new swing arm frame or not, but man those $$$ are piling up! I was wondering how you managed the chain tension with your engine/transmission on a rigid frame mount going to a spring mounted axle. Thanks for sharing.

Can also use a skid steer bucket to break bead.., just press down with bucket edge. Tire spoons, sledge hammer. It's never this easy :) Maybe if I practiced more. Can run a ratchet strap around the tire circumference to push bead toward rim and minimize air loss if inflating with compressor. On the farm, we spray 2s starting fluid in the tire, out over the sidewall, light and step back.
