OK, so as a result of some actions which are too stupid to describe here, I've ended up with the rim of my tractor's front wheel, inside both walls of my replacement tire.
Any tricks to getting one wall of the tire back over the lip of the rim? Getting it on is pretty straight forward, but with the rim inside the tire walls, I can't seem to get any leverage, since it is free to slide around inside the tire. The rim is small enough that I can't really stand on it. I tried clamping the rim using a floor jack and a piece of wood (In the same way you might break the bead on a tire, but with the wood on the rim, rather than the tire), but it didn't grip well enough, and I was worried about using too much pressure and bending the edge of the rim.
This just happened before work this morning, so I've not yet had a chance to try very hard to rectify it, but if anyone has any neat tricks, or advice that would make this easier...I'm all ears. Maybe there's an obvious solution that I'm too irritated to notice :-).
