Re:Tire dismounting

[old-9]

Guys thanks for all the advice. Today I brought up another set of tires that had not been mounted but a few years, had the beads broke in less than 5 min. each. Getting them off the rims took longer. I think I will bite the bullet and take the first set to local tire dealer and pay the price. I do have another set to remove sometime this winter or spring so that will pay for the new tool.
I learned one thing I will always use a liner inside of my rims in the future, should help keep the tubes from rusting to the rim.

Thanks again, Joe

any time you break a tire down.. sand or wire wheel the rim clean.. then paint with a rust control primer and then a piant.. like rustoleum, por.. or even an epoxy paint like appliance epoxy. it's VERY tough.. and prevents water getting in.. no water.. no rust.

if rims were loaded with salt wter.. wash them off well.. THEN clean.. then dry and paint...

paint doesn't rust...

The rims I did today, I bought for the turf tires on them. The PO said they were only 3 or 4 years old. They were on 28x12 rims, john deere according to him. The new (then ) rims were rusted to the tubes after such a short time.
Paint is always my style, you can bet on several coats inside my rims, great way to use up extra paint. Who is going to see what color the inside is?
Thanks for the reply, joe

ditto that.

I had some rust control primer in brown i used on mylast set.. and some appliance epoxy white and black leftover from some other products.. I don't keep the epoxy paint long after opening as it goes bad.. so it was a good use.. who cares if one rim is black and the other white inside..
