waiting for my new scale so I cut up a little iron today and decided to try an Idea I had about removing old tires from rims.
tools angle grinder 6" blade or bigger
hammer or small sledge
tire spoons 2 ea. or pry bars or whatever
lay the tire flat on the ground start where the tire meets the rim cut straight down through the rim and the bead of the tire until you cut all the way through the bead. it is not necessary to cut through the tread of the tire
make 2, 3 or 4 cuts on each side of the tire and rim. (depends on how strong you are . the more cuts the easier the tire is to pull off, however the more cuts you make the more blade you will use.)
smack the tire close to the rim on the bead, use spoons if necessary, but they usually arnt unless the tire and rim is extremly old.
pull the tire off the rim.
in my condition I can do 12 to15 per hr. some one in decient shape should be able to do 20 or more per hr.
