  1. Well! Its been a minute or two, been working on the front wheels and rims, they fought me quite heavily. I used soap i used carwash i used PB Blaster i used Yamaha tire lube spray, even poured boiling water on it nothing would break the bead. I then resorted to more unconventional methods. That didnt work either. This didnt break it i knew i was in trouble. Ready to give up i tried one other thing. No go, it wasnt about the money now, they were coming off regardless. Ordered a different type of bead breaker you turn one nut to tighten it down and another to push the bead off. Before it arrived, just for grinns and giggles i decided to try the Harbour freight bead breaker one last time, and they both popped off, i guess my unconventional methods loosened it enough that i could push it off with the conventional one. Tires came off easily now that i have learned all the tricks i am just about finished. Water in this tire also. Now for more cleanup, bigger job than i anticipated. Not pretty but it should cut down the rust a bit. Engine enamel.

  5. I used a 2 x 8 on tire then drove on that. That did not work. But Grandpa's Mahindra tractor forks did. I cannot believe how he cleaned up like new...
