Tube Replacement

I'm about to replace the tube in the front tire. I've always had trouble with puncturing the tube when I do this. I always check the inside of the tire for sharps that might pierce the tube, I try to be very careful to avoid pinching the tube with the bead, and I'm cautious when I have to use tire irons (never screw drivers) to get the final part of the bead on the rim. Any other hints or advice that will prevent me from practicing my bad language vocabulary?

Thanks in advance.

dont use crowbar screwdriver and prybar or prick . first clean the rim get all rust off the rim. clean it good.. " then take to the tire shop" and let them do for $10.00.. or iff you like me you got to do it, then go and get right tools to this job tractor supply co. get you two tire iron @16.00 each a large and small you use both at the same time. and should quit pop tube went you got right tool for the job they pay for them self in a few install 1 put the back side rim to the ground 2 put tire on the rim 3 pull tire up put tube in the in tire install all of tube in the tire
4 set the last bead use those new tool and should go right in the air up and should keep air in the tube use a lot of soap too 3 teaspoon to 5 gallon water rag brush to apply the soap

I use the Eagle 1 spray on tire shine stuff that I get frm walley's. It is slicker than snot.

I just broke two ancient tires doen this week end. A 2X8 placed as a ranp ending next to the rim but not on it and just idle the front tire of the ole power stroke up on it and it goes "kapop poof"

Is it just my bad luck or do they not put retaining nuts on the valve stems of tubes anymore? I bought two new tubes for the 9N and they didn't have anything to keep the stem in the hole and I just bought a new wheelbarrow tire and it was the same.

TOH; Thats the way they do it now days. It's so they can sell ya more tubes when the rim cuts the stem off.

Only tubes I have ever seen those nuts on are the rear tire tubes and motorcycle tubes. I have never seen then on the tubes for the frount end or for that matter for tubes they used in cars and trucks years ago. Now if you have one of those T handle tools for working with tires that is why there is a place on it that screws to the stem and thats to hold it up so it doesn't fall into the rim.

NEVER use any type of oil/grease on tires or tubes it will cause them to fail becuase it makes them soft and brakes them down. Dish soap and water lots of it. Also on the rim you can use duct tape to cover any ruff places. I just take the tape and wrap the whole insdie of the rim and it works great.

After welding, repairing, cleaning, and repainting my front rims, I busted 2 tubes trying to it myself, I tried oil on the second one that I busted.

I gave up and took them to the place where they do that, and they still busted one themselves.

Gave them back to me somewhat low on pressure, and told me that was the best they could do, and that they were low on pressure.

I have been running them somewhat low on pressure for quite a while now (a couple of years).

There is a big difference in the synthetic rubber tubes we get these days, and the real rubber ones that came with these tractors.

The real rubber ones used to make good flips (slingshots), but these new ones don't.

Dunk, oil and grease destroy tires and tubes. It makes them soft and when that happens they will fail faster. Never use oil on a tire or tube but use lots of dish soap and water mixed and it works well

Thanks, old.

For what the tire shop charges, and what my time is worth to me, from now on, tires are their job.

I'll just haul them up there and back.

It's about time for me to break down and give her a new set of back ones.

The ones I have were old when I got her, 20 something years ago. They are old and very hard.

I am afraid when I buy new ones I will just tear them up.

I have ran these in a junk yard, never had a rear flat.

Marvel Mystery oil and a cheap sponge brush works great. Take the valve stem core out and when the tube is in the tire put in a little air,, just enuf to sorta fill the tube so it gets all the wrinkles out. Finish putting the bead in at the valve stem area. Fill the tire with air, let it leak out then put the core back in the valve stem and fill it to the pressure you want to keep. Have fun.. JR

Be sure to put enough air in the tube to round it out before mounting the last sides bead. Also a little bi-degradable Crisco from the kitchen helps!

Many years ago I worked for a tire store. We had a road service guy who did semi tires. He always used a bleach bottle with a squirt nipple on it full of gasoline to lubricate the rubber It worked very well and evaporated when it was bore. I have used a commercial tire lubricant at home but can't tell you where to get some.

It was always a mystrey how to get em broke down. Tried driving on em. The best way to breakem is to keep wedgeing between the rim and bead, while soaked with soapy water.

I really love to change tires. Quicker than a trip to the tire shop.

I play Table Tennis and use professional grade rubber on my paddle. Rubber manufacturer says "just water" as cleaner, but there are paddle cleaners that contain Petro Distilates.

My theory is that the smell of new rubber is the solvents (light ends of more complex molecules of rubber) evaporating as the tire looses its newness. Perhaps in some cases solvents can rejuvinate. Sunlight is bad for rubber.
