five0addict Posted October 15, 2005 danm easy, just gotta make sure the tire bead is all in the center of the rim so it can make as much space as possible. set it in the sun on somethg hot. i dont use any lubes, makes it slip off the edge when it needs to stick. take small bites too!

cr250ryan Posted October 17, 2005 Small bites for sure. As far as lube, a compressed can of window cleaner is the best thing around. Under $1 for a can, leaves no residue, dries fairly quickly. Oh, and I prefer long handled irons opposed to little tiny ones, don't forget you can use your knee or foot to hold the the bead at first. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
