UPDATE:
Man I can not believe the number of cry babies on here😂 . Listen. It's a throw away society and this is a throw away tire and wheel assembly. They are paper thin. Literally they can be bent by hand without much effort. It straightened out easy-peasy with a few taps and a block of wood. Yes it is a tubeless wheel. As a matter of fact when you buy these junkers they come tubeless so calm down it goes on a damn yard cart not the space shuttle.
Fact is, some of you I see commenting would sing your praises one minute because I can tract down a parasitic draw, reflash an ECM, or chase out an electrical gremlin with out a hitch but "destroy" a $5 Chinese wheel for a yard cart and they take you to the chopping block lol. Seriously, grow up.
You want to know the facts? I had the lady get her own tire because I knew she could get it for about $5 less than my vendor sold them. Oh yeah and I popped it on for her for free, oh and one other thing, she is not a regular customer so I don't benefit from this what so ever....
Cheers 😁

Two big screwdrivers, a few beers, box of bandaids, and no small children around. Works most of the time.

Just a little Remember When reminiscing. Helping my dad when I was very young in the 50s and early 60s all tires were tube tires then and came wrapped up tight in paper. You slammed the tire down on the floor and split the paper off. you then dusted the inside of the tire with baby powder or talcum so the tube would not wrinkle inside. We always used Murphy Oil Soap to lube the beads and install one bead then insert inner tube and install the other bead with Tire irons my Dad made from thin car springs. Blow it up without the valve in to unfold and get the wrinkles out of the tube inside and then let the air out and then reinstall valve and air up completely. If just patching a hole in the tube he had an electric Vulcanizing patching press. Many times he used a wire donut cage to put the tube in and air up to look for the small high pressure pinhole leaks while putting it in the galvanized Tire tub filled with water just for that purpose. My job was to use that army green US hand tire pump to fill those balloon tires to 28 to 32 PSI. 65 years later and I still have all those tools. Good memories and a lot of knowledge gained working with Dad when I was young.

The rolled edge (inside) was the side to mount the tire from. Won't cut tire and is stronger.   We all have off days  :)

If you would've used the red installation bar you wouldn't have bent the rim.

I've had dry cracked tires one a couple of my mowers for decades.  They work just fine with a tube.  It's not like I'd be doing 70 on the road with them like a car.

Eric, I have that exact HF changer.  Two pointers , leave the tire out in the sun and let it heat up to 120 degrees. It will much easier to remove and install. Second, I made a mount out of a length of   2x2 heavy wall tube. This way I plug in to a standard hitch receiver for a solid work station. Perfect for fixing a flat when out in the boonies.

OMG the vice grip trick!! Saved me some real frustration my friend - I was monkeying with this wheel for almost an hour; pair of vice grips and I was done in 2 minutes.  Thank you!!

Heck I roll around on the ground changing my truck tire and my motorcycle tire that’s where I usually go over to the neighbors house and see if he’s busy tell him I need his weight LOL I wonder why lately doesn’t answer the door

And, just remember viewers, if I can bend a rim, you can bend a rim. Lol. 🇬🇧
On a serious note, I don't think that I'd be doing those again.

Knock, knock, knock... POW! as the bead unseats violently.

Hey Eric, Tech tip Friday!!! We have the same setup we took the bottom attachment and welded it to an old rim so it can still be used in the tire machine. Also if you find it difficult to get the tire off, use larger car tire irons stick them both in lift the tire a bit and pry against the threaded rod in a scissor action! Works every time

One of the most useful videos yet! I've spent hours trying to get those friggin' things off and back on. I usually end up on the garage floor with nearly every tool in the shop spread around me and still can't get the thing to air up.



That was a pretty crap rim. Almost looked like a tube only rim. If it's just for a cart you can get a complete new wheel for $5 at Harbor Freight or even Amazon.

This was my first time seeing a wheel made out of two dollar store pie pans tacked together in the middle.

I have one of those, and have used it for years on my six little tractors.  I always install tubes - more dependable and easy to repair.  Works well on wheelbarrow tires, too.

I think for all the small tires I have chased across the shop floor! that tire tool is worth having!

The vise grip was a good idea, and helped me. Thanks!

Hello Eric,been watching your channel for a short while. As a fellow tech,just wanted to thank you! You’re videos are very informative and educational! You’re diagnostic and repair approach is spot on!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!

I have been using one of those gizmos for 5 years on my powerchair tires.
My arms still work OK but those little 4 and 6 inch tires are a pain like you say.
The bead breaker works but I add a 3-foot pipe cheater to the handle for leverage.
Spoons are the way to go and I'll sure give your grama's vice grip trick a try.
Thanks so much for all the neat videos. I'm an old grease monkey nd they bring back memories.
Just remember Eric just because you can do it doesn't mean I can and thanks for thanking me for watchin.

Dang that rim got bend more than one getting a blowout at 90 mph. 🤣
