Hi Al,

Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words so take a look at the Gempler's website for that. Safety first!

The only thing I do different is too use a wood splitting wedge to bust the beads. Just set the tappered end in the rubber to steel edge and lightly tap once then move the wedge 3" and repeat 4times and the bead will easy pop, then do the inside bead the same way.

On a stubbern bead use a small amount of 50% dish soap/water mix. Do not beat on the hammer harder as it won't help. You may have to move more than 4 times or rework the area if you don't hold the wedge in the right spot, but doubtful.

Dulled crow bars also work well for tire irons. Any thing to do with rubber needs a smoothed rolled edge.

The tubes like corn starch as a slipper agent. I always fill the tire up to about 20psi, after the bead is set, then let it blow down then refill for set pressure. This allows the tube to unfold inside the tire.

Here they want $150/tire for a service call. It takes me less than 1hr to remove and install a tire and tube, and I'm crippled up.

Besure and read about tire repairing safety while your searching for the info.
