[Healeys] tire remover

[Steven Kingsbury]

Great tips Rick and might I add, also make sure there are no decals on the tubes. The tube should be free of anything stuck to it and also check on the inside of the tire as they sometimes put decals on the inside of these also. Just run your hand around on the inside, you'll feel them easily if the are present.

And finally, make sure to put some powder inside the tire. I have used talcom (sp?) powder inside my tires, generously I might add, others may recommend different powder, but it really helps. A bit messy when you first inflate the tubes, but worth it. Good luck and one final tip, when you travel, carry an extra tube or two in your trunk, saved me more than once.

Back when I was mounting tires on wire wheels I always mounted the wheel on the changer outside of the wheel up.
If you are installing tubes, you will need a band over the ends of the spokes.
You will also need to break both beads loose unless you want to struggle.
inflate the tube just a bit, this will make inserting it much easier.
Protip, once the tube is installed and the tire remounted, pull the Shrader valve, and inflate the tube to about 15 PSI and let it air out.  Then do it again to about 20-25 PSI.  Then install the Shrader  valve and inflate.Doing this this will allow the tube to work out any wrinkles which can cause a tube failure.

I purchased a tire remover and mounter from Harbor Freight. I have not tried it yet and I was wondering if anyone has used one on wire wheels. It looks like it could work if I put the wheel with the outside hub down on the unit. I will practice on an old wire wheel and tire before I try it on my chromes. (I need to put tubes on the wheels as I am constantly losing air and over the years, I have had to replace many spokes) Is there any advise?
