Rear Tire question

I got the rear tire partially off the bead of the rim today (about a 20 degree arc all the way off) to install a new air valve. Now I have to get it back on. Other than hoping a blast of air from a tank will get it on, does any one have suggestions. The barn the D14 is in has no electricity so I'll be using portable air tanks.

Tom, you could also take the wheel off and take it to your air compressor.

If you are just trying to seat the bead back on, I've used a chain and small binder to spread the bead. Wrap the chain as tight as you can around the tire in the center of the tread. Put the binder on and clamp as if you were tightning down a tractor. May take a couple times to get it tight, but be sure you remove the chain befor filling the tire with more air than needed to set the bead.

If u r in a good place to use this method I don't know. Spray some ether in it, not a real large amount, quickly light it with a torch and it will explode putting the tire on the bead. Just be careful to keep fingers away from bead cause it will pop on fast.

As they say been there done that. It just started a fire. I've used that technique on car tires before. It may be that it didn't work because there was about a quarter inch gap between the tire and rim at the time. I later got the tire close to the rim so it may work tomorrow.

I wondered it any one else would ahve seen that trick. I mechanic at a local garage did it one day while I was there. I was pretty amazed.

Thanks
Tom

Not likely that a small air tank will pass enough volume to seat the bead again unless you have it off the ground and run a rope around the circumference and tighten it to squash the center. As you do this the beads are forced closer to the edge where they might be able to seal. Most portables carry only 125# and generally won't be enough to push the rubber out. Take the valve core out if you are going to try the tank alone. It can be put back in after you seat the bead. If that doesn't work your local garage or tire shop may have a tank called a "cheetah". This is nothing more than portable tank with 1 modification. It has a dump valve that passes the full volume in less than 1 second. It makes a lot of noise but is safe if handled right. They might rent or loan it to you. I would own one but they run around $500. I use the one from work and have no problem doing 20 inch trailer tires with it. If that is not an option for you , a tube is your best bet. Cheap enough and be careful not to go over the tires recommended max pressure for seating the bead. In most cases that seems to be 40# but check the tire first. Putting some lube on the rim along the bead surface using tire mount lube helps. Ask you tire shop to sell you a small amount. If you rent the cheetah they might just give you some. Good luck. Just my 2c and keep the change.

Afriend made a bead blaster out of an old tank and a 2" bsall valve with a short section of flattened pipe sticking out. Works pretty good and didn't cost much. I was going to build one but i know where he lives...

Thanks Farmer in the Dells,

Good advice. I hope I can get a rope tight enough around the circumference. I'll try the small tank, and if that doesn't work, I'll try to find a "cheetah". Tube will be last resort, as It would mean emptying the water solution and putting it back in.

Now I gotta go find that valve stem tool.

Tom

the price on the cheetah has come down some. But still high if you don't use them enough
