Hi, Dave, good advice from everyone, have changed and repaired more tires than I can count, and I don't own or work in a tire shop! Have changed/repaired tires as big as 18.4 X 38, with fluid, and didn't need a pump for the fluid, in or out, let gravity and a little time do that! Explained how on an earlier post. One thing I would like to add about breaking the bead, I use a 2 1/2" piece of 2" angle iron and an 8# sledge, [this is with the tire on the ground], place the angle iron on the tire with both lips on the tire and one against the rim. strike the angle so as to drive the one lip under the rim, forcing the tire down on the rim. this might take awhile, depending on how hard the bead is stuck, just keep moveing along a bit after each strike. I use a large hammer to reinstall the tire on rim after repair, but be carefull to just hit the tire bead. If you like I can go into greater detail if you E mail me

Have a gooder, R.E.L.
