I'm 69 and was really tired of wrestling hours to remount two wagon tires . . . the vice grip, THAT trick was worth more than the wagon. Sincerest thanks, rick
Good point about the weld splatter, While you was removing's it from the bead area of the rim should remove it from the middle as well. Just in case you decide to use a innertube in the future.
Well, glad I watched you do it. I tried the tie wraps trick to squeeze both beads together. Nope, didn't work. That trick works good on motorcycle tires. But watching you convinced me to do one bead at a time. Got er done.!!!
Just a friendly suggestion. You may want to buy two tire spoons. These make putting on small tires (and some larger tires too) sooooo... much easier than screwdrivers. Plus, they don't scratch up the rims and they also don't pinch tire tubes during the installation process causing leaks. I am 63 years old and have been using them for years with no disappointments.
thank you very much for this video, i was trying a few times for an hour or two to get the rubber on the rim, i always do my big truck tires but was having trouble with this 8" wheel, after I watched your video it took me 20 minutes! thanks a lot!
You can`t put petroleum-derived grease on rubber products!!! Especially a tire bead. Silicone grease, if anything. Oil will degrade and deteriorate rubber. Thanks for your video.
Please edit this video to remove the use of grease!!! That is a dangerous suggestion! Recommend straight dish soap liquid or proper tire changing lube or coconut oil. Grease will start to soften the rubber tire and can cause a blowout.
I catch myself doing it too, but there's no point in pushing the gauge back in to 0 when you're airing up a tire. Obviously you push it in when you're done, airing down, or checking another tire, but it's not coming out farther if you don't push it in.
It's a force of habit from long ago. Back when airing up my bike tiers I would sometimes accidentally let air out of the tier while messing with the valve locking contraption at the end of the pump hose. Old habits die hard.

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found it useful.
Conveniently omits the most important part, removing tire from rim!!

That's true, if i ever get a whole in one of these tires before i wear them out, i may try to find inner-tubes. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video.... I am 65 , and have now changed small tires all by my self for the first time🤗
I'm glad I could help.

Awesome!
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for watching!
Excellent video. Thank you!
You are welcome!
7:46 at least I know I'm not doing something wrong. I got stuck at this point and it seems he's not having it easy either.
Yep, I figure if it was easy to put them on, they wouldn't stay on. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tip!
How long did they hold air?
About four years and counting.

I'm first brother.
That's a fantastic job and thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day
Thank you! I hope you have a great day as well.
Thank you Sir
those small stiff tires are very difficult. Mini-Tire Changer. Harbor Freight. $60
Yep, that's another way to do it.

No, I don’t want to see anything but you changing the tires!
Thanks for watching.
on second thought, graphite grease is calcium-based and I think this is ok. Sorry!!! Didn`t want anyone ruining new tires with regular grease!!

Two pair of vise grips works better.
I used what I had at the time.

@@LittleshopintexasSV - Like I said, I do it too, I get it even though I know it's pointless.
