I was on the verge of giving up getting a 3.00 - 4 tyre back on its rim after repairing a punctured inner tube when I saw this video. Seeing as how other people were having the same trouble as me spurred me on. Spraying the tyre and rim with window cleaner helped. Lacking upper body strength I put on my heavy duty Muck Boots, placed the wheel on the ground and stood on the tyre feet astride the rim. I carefully used a screwdriver to ease that last bit of tyre over the rim. Job done. Before starting make sure the inner tube is devoid of air by removing valve core. Thanks The Muletto.
The amount of times I've struggled to get the tyre back on by leveraging not realising the easiest way is to lay it down and push either side with your hands. Thanks a million for posting this!
Thank you for the instructions. I once tried to replace the tube and pierced the tube. This time after watching you clip, I did it and inflated the tube too much.So now I have to get another tube, lets see what happens with the third attempt.
This was very helpful! Getting the tire back on was quite a beast. I just slowly kept using my blunt object to pull the tire under the rim. Took lots of grunts but we got there and amazingly did not ruin the new tube in the process :)
I have also posted this elsewhere on UT. The job is hard unless you set up ok. "I have a kayak trolley which regularly gets inner tube punctures. Easy way to replace cover on plastic rim. No need for tyre irons usually. I put a length of plastic conduit through the axle hole in the hub. This drops into a hole in my heavy timber workbench. This holds hub steady and i can ease the cover on with finger pressure. Lubricate first - washing up liquid is fine." Hope this tip saves lots of sore fingers and pinched inner tubes.
I'm no pro but it helps to lube the rim with some talcum powder. Also if the rim is sitting on something like a wood block around 1" thick it will help to push the tire down onto it. Make sure the block is not wider than the rim. Put it on the ground and kneel on the end of the tire that is seated in the rim. This stops it from popping back up as you try to work the rest under the rim. Using this technique works with bigger wheels that you can't just push in with your hands.
Your video helped me to install the innertube in my wheel barrel tire. I did place one knee on the tire while I worked the tire evenly with both my hands. Thanks.
coouple questions.. do you hand pump as opposed to from a higher pressure tank so as to avoid an overfill? 2.. do we just assume the tube is flat and smooth and the base of the filler neck will not pinch at the rim opening and cause a leak?
Same as the other guy...was changing this on a broad porch stair so I could lean all my weight on it. Used my blunt object to slowly pull the lip around. I did bend the rim a bit. Nothing a ball peen hammer couldnt fix. Not sure it will last through too many other changes those. May have to move to solid tires next.
One trick is pushing the first part of the tire you get over the wheel down to the center of the wheel where the diameter is smaller, which allows the tire to move closer to the center on that side, allowing the other side of the tire to stretch over the other side of the rim easier.
Oke, Thankyou, Using yr method I've just got done "putting tubes into tyres 15" x 4". My experience was applying some force fr the thumb to press down bit by bit to the edge of tyre (wheel). Again, May thanks
This was an easy tire tho'. I have a problem with a bigger and more robust one, the tire rubber is far more in under the inner wheel (don't know how to explain). Which makes it impossible to get out with just those tools.. is there any better methods?
Great video and thank you. My exact kind of tire and rim but now way I could push it on. I used c-clamps like in the other video to hold the first part in place, then I had a chance but it was still murder. I guess some are tighter than others. Great video, thanks.
When removing or installing a tire with a tube, you never use a screwdriver unless you want pinch the tube, making your problem even worse. Use tire-spoons....
Useful. But i am yet to remove the wheel from the cart itself. Pls make a video how to remove the wheel first. AFter that, i can use your tutorial to change the tube.
@@freedomhard2310 i didn't and hope that its been so long that any organic debris is long decomposed and soft unable to puncture new tube...been filling up the tube for years with slow leak..will know shortly.
Good video but I would check that whatever punctured the tube in first place (through tyre wall maybe) wasn’t still in wall of tyre before changing tube. Otherwise when you reinflate new tube, it will just puncture again. Should always check.
At 1:58 is where I spent an hour trying to get the tire back on. What I did, which worked really well, was at the 2:15 mark you put your knee down on where one of your hands would be pressing and use the pommel of your screwdriver to push the side where the tire will run onto the rim.
Taking the valve cap off doesn't help, the hole in the rim is too big. My tires are too rigid to push it back on, even with something under the rim to elevate it a little. I greased it, I heat gunned it to soften the tire. No luck .These things are truly a PITA.
There should be a Hall of Fame for people that have done this successfully. You sir will be the first member.
Gotta love a video that gets straight to the point...5⭐

It wasn't as easy as you made look, but I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks much.
Great demo! Thanks so much for the thorough brevity-what the world needs now.
The video makes it look like its easy when in reality it is not. That tire looked very pliable.
Getting the tube in the hole was trickiest part. Used soap on rim to make tire slip on easier too. Great vid.
Good idea
Good job Muletto. No fuss straightforward demo. Thanks bud.
This helped me greatly. I tried it before watching this and punched holes in my tire tubes, very frustrating. This vid made it go smoothly.
Thanks - I couldn't get the tire back around the rim. Appreciate your video.

I LOVE short n sweet..no fuss/ no mess! thanks!

I'm over seventy-five and this looks like I can do this.
Thanks

Great 👍 fixed my tire in five minutes 👍👍👍🤘thanks 😊
Thank you so much…female trying to save a bit of money by doing it myself… I couldn't but easy peasy with your help:)
Great job. You made that looks way easier then it actually is.
thats because its not that easy, i have never seen the small tire that can be closed over the rim by hand .
I'm no pro but it helps to lube the rim with some talcum powder. Also if the rim is sitting on something like a wood block around 1" thick it will help to push the tire down onto it. Make sure the block is not wider than the rim. Put it on the ground and kneel on the end of the tire that is seated in the rim.

HELL YEAH. STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. NO BS. THANK YOU
i changed my first tube in a 2 wheel dolly following this. thanks for the instructions
Great video, thanks. I was getting frustrated, but you bailed me out with the demo.
Your video helped me to install the innertube in my wheel barrel tire. I did place one knee on the tire while I worked the tire evenly with both my hands. Thanks.
Thanks this help me
Added a little bit of dish soap around the rim and it slips right on!
my tire was waaaaay tighter and stiffer. I wonder if warming it up a bit may help, looks like this chap is in a very warm area?
coouple questions.. do you hand pump as opposed to from a higher pressure tank so as to avoid an overfill? 2.. do we just assume the tube is flat and smooth and the base of the filler neck will not pinch at the rim opening and cause a leak?
Thanks for the post. Excellent instruction, video production , and technique. I appreciate the help! Thank you! Ron
Happy to help you all, Cheers!
Impossible to get the tyre back on, almost ripped my hands to bits. It needs a massive amount of force. Does anyone know of a trick to do so?
Richard Swann I have a small table about knee high, I use my weight and forced it into the rim,it was easy for me.

Got it done thanks to you. Saved 35$. Thanks!

I watched this and did it in less than 3min. Thanks
Either my tire rubber is much thicker than the ones in this video, or my hands are just too weak to push it back over the rim.
Top shelf! Efficient and easy-looking. Well, I'm off to try your method.
Update: It worked! My rim is metal and the tube 8 in. So my stuff is perhaps more rigid than yours, but eventually got the outer tire back on. Thanks!
Lol I was going about it all wrong thanks for saving me a few bucks and the shameful walk of carrying it in the tire shop 🤘
thank you I had hard time putt the inner tube back in the tire

Was driving me mad, then watched this and it slipped on lol,, great video Thanks
Cheers, helped alot.
Saved me a lot of time,
Loved the final push on step, was worried about that, but worked a treat.
Liked and subscribed!
Was struggling to get the tire over the rim. Your technique worked out great
simple job, but its nice to see how to do it efficiently cheers
Can I just replace these tires with the type that doesn't have to be aired up?
Useful. But i am yet to remove the wheel from the cart itself. Pls make a video how to remove the wheel first. AFter that, i can use your tutorial to change the tube.
Should check the tire for the object
that caused the puncture by feeling the inside of the tire
Kevin Jones yep I didn't do that once and the thorn that put a hole in the first inner tube put a hole in the second one too.
@@freedomhard2310 i didn't and hope that its been so long that any organic debris is long decomposed and soft unable to puncture new tube...been filling up the tube for years with slow leak..will know shortly.

Short and VERY Clear! Thannk you!
You make it look so easy
Got it done in the end, thanks 🙏
Very helpful & informative tutorial. Thank you.
Very Helpful ! Thanks for the video..
Buddy
From where you purchased the tube?
Nice work!
I'm going to get a solid wheel tire ... Good vid
nice video, short and useful
Grate explanation thank you !
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! Who are the idiots that gave this a thumbs down???
Excellent job
Where can I purchase the inner tubes?
That tire is very flexible, must be new. Mine is very hard to remove due to age.😢
Thank you for this video.
Great video thanks for teaching me
Came in very handy for me (who is not handy, lol) - Thanks!
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
Terrific. FATBOY Mini BMX tire change guide. Thank you for posting this vid.
Thanks made it easy 😀
You are the MAN- THANK YOU-
Very good, many thanks.
What about the flat free ones ? Double the price but you won't have to change it anymore. Seems like a no brainer for me.
you're the man
I bought flat free ones!
Is it as strong ?
@@pimc172 Yes, it's solid, no inner tube.
Thanks for that. It'll be a big help this weekend
Thanks! Just the help I needed changing a buggy inner tube! :)
I hope mine goes as easy. HAHA Thanks for posing.
Thank you, lots of help
Thanks great video worked for me
Thanks for the help. Very much appreciated!
WELL DONE
good job man!
Thank You!
This really helped a lot! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for this video :D
That works great when the tire is still fairly new and flexible. But when it's old and stiff, it doesn't stretch. Can't get it off the rim.
Can you cut it off?
Exactly. He makes it look like its an easy thing when in reality it is not.
Thanks mate, this is gold. I stuffed up and took the tyre off and can't get it back!
Rim size?
It helps if you soap the tire bead too
What if i have a larger diameter tire :S ?
Need to check tire for nails or foreign objects before you install new tube or you'll have same problem., Sorry needed to say it
I appreciate the instruction. Thx

+ConsoleCleric Thanks for this tip. I'll try that. I've been trying for 1/2 hour and that tire will NOT go back on with my hands alone.
Damn that tire is a lot more forgiving mine is super stiff not as easy at all
Thanks! 👍🏻
is that tube 3.00-4
Looks like the hardest part will be getting it off the hand truck
You can leave the whole thing on the handtruck, no problem at all.
