Late summer had a flat on the rear of my 3000. Called a local tire dealer and they gave me the number of a local guy that makes house calls. Was going to cost me $75.00 for him to come out and fix it. Sounded fair to me as I wouldn't have to mess with it. Guy shows up, breaks down the tire and we discover the flat was due to rust cutting holes on the inside of the tube. Needed a new tube and the rim cleaned up. I asked him if he could remove the tire from the rim and come back the next day to put it back together. In the mean time I would go get a new tube and clean up the rim. Went over the rim with a wire brush on an angle grinder and even used a grinding wheel to smooth a couple of spots. Sprayed the rim with a rust converter then painted with Rustolum. Next day he shows up and puts it all back together. Total charge was $100.00 for two trips but well worth it. The point of all this is you might think about getting someone to come out as I did and make sure your rims are ready for new tubes before putting them back together. Might spend a few extra bucks but at least you will know it was done to last a while.
