![How To Change Wheelbarrow Tire Tube [5 STEPS]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QDiqU54-hIQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Just wanted to share, the hardest part of this job is holding the old rim when trying to get the tire back on as mentioned. I have found the easiest way for me is to put a short piece of rebar (could possibly use the axle itself) in my bench vice pointing up. Then drop the rim over that so it sticks up through the axle hole in the rim to work on it. I also smeared dish soap on both sides of the tire bead and was able to get the tire back on with just my hands working it on slow so no chance of puncturing the new tube. Hope that helps someone else!
Good tips, thanks.
Thanks
I would rate his TH-cam sigh as a 7/10. One of the best ive ever heard.
I wrestled with the damn tire for an hour …thank god for your video:)
Another tip I can give is the valve stem leans to one side when tube is inflated so I put some air in the tube first, mark the tube with a pencil the side it leans, then deflate it and install accordingly. I didn't do this the first time I put it in and when i started putting air in it the valve stem flung back inside the rim towards opposite side. I had to break it all down, remove it and start over.
Good tip, thanks.
My exact problem tonight. I told my wife it shouldn't take 2 hours to change a f%#kn inner tube.
I hate stuff like this - once I start, I can't stop - and then I know I'll never get that time back.
Maybe God keeps time like a soccer match - He adds the time at the end.
Mate thanks for this tip first time I did it the valve pulled through the hole after reading your comment I got it correct second time round and second inert tube as I had to burst it to get it out 👍
Good point about solid tires! The tape roll trick is nifty too, Thanks Jimbo!
Jim showed me how to deal with a difficult wheelbarrow tire job. Thanks Jim.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been trying for the last hour to put the tire and tube back on the rim at the same time. My arms are barely still attached. Your method helped me actually do it in about 5-8 minutes with a crow bar... Very different than changing bike tires.
Thanks for the great video! I did find an easy way to get the tire back under the rim. I used a screwdriver and 2 pair of small vice grips. Lock one vice grip on the rim to keep the tire down. Then use a screwdriver and another vice grip to keep working and holding the tire under the rim until done.
Nice tip, I stood on two sides and then used screwdrivers as I didn’t have vice grips. Punctured one tube with the screwdrivers, but had the foresight to have bought two tubes.
Once again, Vice Grips to the rescue. Great tip, thanks.
Damaged a tire on my Scag Zero turn. The dealer wanted $150 for one rear tire. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx985f3iNjxHFMO6JoE7CSGActiIEyumFx Local tire store wanted $95 for one tire and both said I would need two tires because the replacements were 2 ply and the OEM was 4 ply which would result in different diameters when inflated if not mounted in pairs. I ordered two of these for less than $90, they arrived in two days instead of the promised 5 days. they are 4 ply rated and when mounted I can't tell the difference with the Grassmaster that came on my Scag, except the sidewall doesn't appear to be as stiff. Tread pattern is identical with the Grassmaster. Will keep the other new tire as an extra if the other OEM is damaged.
Excellent, straight forward.
Thanks for the video. As with most TH-cam videos, I pick up a trick or two that helps a lot. I just finished putting a tube in my wheelbarrow tire, using no screwdrivers (I don't have the tire spoons).. helpful things after I had everything apart, clean out the inside of the tire and check it very carefully for any debris, prop up the hub of the rim a bit (I used a roll of drywall mesh tape I had laying around), grease the rim of the tire with oil. I actually put the tire back on the rim just using my hands. Easiest tube I have ever put in after ruining rims and many new tubes in the past. Thanks for the tips in the comment section
I'd be worried that the oil would degrade the rubber?
Thank you for this. So much better than the instructions on the packet. I would never have thought of first putting the tyre on the rim before packing in the inner tube. But it worked a treat. Thanks again.
Thanks for the demo on how to rassle one of these ...and especially your insight on pros of innertube vs never-flat option. I had no idea if I should go with the solid tire or not, but now am going with inner tube.
Thank you so much! You kept us from wrecking our tire trying to get the thing out! And for showing us how to get the thing back together! It’s up and running! More thanks! Ron and Gail

I was struggling with my wheelbarrow inner tube replacement but feel better to see you struggled as well. LOL I've remove full size car tires manually a few times when I was young, but for the life of me the wheelbarrow tire was much more difficult. After puncturing the tube multiple times with the screw drivers, finally invested in a set of tire spoons.
I used the back side of a box wrench, round socket extender, and the back side of a crescent wrench. As always I will find .you motorcycle tire irons in about three months or so!
P.S. When asked what tool I am looking for...the one that I can never find when I need it!!! 🤣
Haha that was 5 years ago, those inner tubes don't last long outdoors in the heat. Patched it and fill it up with air (about 20-30 psi) on all three of my wheelbarrow inner tubes immediately blew out. Have 4 tubes on order. BTW the 3 sets of tire irons ordered 5 years ago works really well.
Thank you Jimbo. Helped a lot especially to have half the tire on then put the tube in. Side note I used wd40 to lubricate it. Worked pretty good.
Thanks a ton Jimbo! I got the tire off the rim no problem, but getting it back on was a nightmare. Windex did the trick! You da man!!!!
Jimbo's right about one thing, it's a pain in the ass for sure. Thanks for the vid, it did help me out,
that's "arse" !! Ass is a donkey.
1:40 Jimbo has removed the wheel from the wheelbarrow; wheel is on the workbench.
2:00 The tube has been removed from the tire.
2:20 He unwraps a new tube.
2:40 Make sure to get a 480 x4 x 8 inch tube.
3:15 Tube is in the tire and value stem is pulled through in the wheel.
3:40 He starts to work the tire onto the rim.
5:06 Tire is on the rim.
Tire irons for small tires are available with rounded ends to avoid pinching. Try searching for "tire spoons".
Thanks, best wishes.
Lubricating the tire to make it easier to pull back over the rim is a good idea. If you use engine oil, try to use as little as possible and then try to wipe up whatever remains after getting the tire on the rim (before you add air to it), because engine oil will degrade rubber over time. Better to use a silicone lubricant, which is non-petroleum based.
Silicone spray, or dish soap works great.
Vise grips help hold the tire with the top bead but very good vid👍
Thanks for the help, you saved me hours of frustration. Jimbo, you know what you are doing. :)
When putting tyre back on, I have found standing on it easier than risking screwdrivers.
Windex, genius move!
Thanks for this video. I bought the replacement tube and installed it this afternoon.
Thanks for watching Jan, I'm glad it worked for you. Jimbo!
It is not only the tube replacement but also yo have to clean and paint the whole wheelbarrow to give a very good look to it, I should do it😜
A small c-clamp helps in getting the tire back on the rim.
Thank you!!!!! After reading the instructions coming with the inner tube, I was really wondering..... They should just give a link to your video!!! Thanks!!! Daniel M.
Thank you. I was having trouble because I forgot about putting Windex on the tire.
Thank's for the video, but..... That tire shouldn't be used again, you can see that the steelwire are apart from the tirebead. And also when putting in a new tube one has to feel inside the tire that there isn't anything sharp inside. And it's much easier if you clamps the rim in a vice, instead have it loose and a bench. And last, do not use a screwdriver when mounting, use a tyre bar instead.
OK. Looks pretty straightforward, now let's see how I get on.
One thing l would have done before installing the new tube: After l had pulled the old tube out l would have checked the inside of the tyre for thorns, grit etc i.e. anything that could cause another puncture. 😉
I agree - exactly what I wanted to say - I thought it would have been said by someone else as the video is approx 6 years old so I'm glad to see you comment. Also, I use motor cycle tyre levers as they have a larger surface area and are curved and, if you're doing this job regularly then it is worth investing in getting some of them for this job. I did like the use of the rolls of tape to support the wheel whilst doing the job - a better idea than what I'd been doing - balancing the wheel between two blocks of wood!
Thanks jumbo, I thought I was doing wrong, turns out it's real pain in behind. I am going to struggle on.
Thanks😊
Getting tire back over rim driving me crazy. I'll try the spray & the stacked tape rolls. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for the video. I just changed miner in 10 minutes.
Everything shown is simple common sense, but the hardest part of the job is completely skipped in this video. Taking the tire off the wheel! This one happened to already be off the rim so the job was simple, but you should make a video where the flat tire is still seated on the wheel and has to be pried off.
Absolutely! That's what I'm looking for, too - how to get the tire off the rim first. If you found a link on how to do that, let me know. Thanks!
To put it back on, get your legs into the action. Piece of cake when you keep pressure on it with your legs.
Thanks Jimbo!
Had to change 4 heavy duty lawn tractor tires one day, it started raining and everything got wet and slippery. My not-so-mechanically-inclined neighbor came over to chat right in the middle while I was was working on them 🙄. I kept working/struggling and after a few mins I was like - I’m a little busy right now can we talk later? The tire change was brutal but I pushed through and got it done.
You do that weekly and u don't have tire spoons to prevent nicking with a big sharp edged screwdriver?
Even as a kid I used big pliers to avoid hitting the tube with a screwdriver.
Just saying. If you're gonna give advice to novices, educate them better.
Don't know how many bicycle tires I fixed as a kid. Was pissed when I'd put on a brand new tube and nick it with a screwdriver edge. Thanks
My wheelbarrow tire caught on fire. it was because i was working so fast and the tire got to hot. It definitely had nothing to do with the lack of attention being paid to the burn barrel it was right next to while i went inside for a sandwich.
You should get a raise!
And here I thought I had to spend 50 bucks at Home Depot for a whole new tire and rim!
Worked! Thanks
So no need to check the tyre first for any nails etc?
Thanks for watching Peter, Yes that is a good idea, I have done so many of those, I should have mentioned that. Jimbos garage!
Great really helpful
3:40. The next fart is the fun part. Haha always is
Helpful video, though it would have been more fun if you’d punctured the inner tube😀. Thanks for posting
I tried doing that and punctured 3 tubes, it didn’t work for me
You didn't show how to break the tire from the rim!!
I would've checked the inside of tyre before introducing the inner tube!!,sorry...
you missed the hardest part...pulling the tire from the rim of the wheel
wish he showed that.
I found this one, guys. You do it with the tire still on the wheelbarrow, with tire spoons or carefully with flathead screwdrivers. th-cam.com/video/Lf17Er2DIL8/w-d-xo.html
oh come on do it while it's still on the wheelbarrow
haha!!
Jimbo called the valve cap a stem, which it’s not. He also said to be careful not to puncture the rim. He should have said be careful not to puncture the tube.
Correct. Very poor vide from that point of view and it took him ages to get the tyre back on the rim.
Can a Tube-Style Tire (Wheelbarrow Tire 4.80x4-8) Be put on a Tubless Rim (either without a tube or with a tube ?)
Add a little oil goes on real smooth.no effort.
Great tip Desmond. I tried it and I put the tire back on without using screwdrivers. Worked like a charm. Thanks for posting it
Did not show complete process, just high level.
You can get a set of 'tire spoons' in an appropriate size for $20 or less, and a bottle of 'Slime' may prevent some future flat tires. Today's tear was beyond help. Perhaps you may consider fabricating a small tire changing rig, a small version of the one's that we all learned on back-in-the-day...
We call them 'tyre levers" in Australia .......... and yes, we spell tyre with a y.
Curvee need nose pliers. Easier than a screwdriver, cheaper than a tire spoon.
Curved*
Good idea! Thanks.
Some guy in another video used a crow bar to get it back on the rim. Ever try that?
thanks bro! I used a couple of bricks on each side and got it on first try after a whole day of frustration and despair
I didnt even have to get under the lip I just pushed it down...which worked with my elbows holding it in place thats the big difference..also put it the tyre under a hot shower to make it more flexi...not sure if that helped tho tbh
What music is that in the background? Great guitar playing...
Agreed! And just the right (low) volume, too - not annoying at all.
That tire needs some serious cleaning before you put that tube in.
It’s a wheel barrow
Just curious, how much do you charge to do this?
Gloves wouldn't hurt
My valve moved....
That Wheelbarrow looks dirty, you have to clean it with soap.
my tire is wayyy tighter then yours shown
How do I measure the tire for a replacement tube when I threw the old one away? Call me stupid, I can handle it!
FAIL
The first thing you do is check inside the tyre. Make sure there is nothing left in there.
Cheers 🍻 fròm 🦘I’m surfíń 🏄♂️ about awÖnderíń if there was a miniature version of a car change press, with the usual duck 🦆 head guide.
Thanks 🙏🏼 Åll the same 😉🤙🏼
Try not to puncture tube not rim
Why do they not design the rims so they can be taken apart? It would have to be easier to take out a few bolts than to do that.
Jimmy R then u would pench the tube every time.... some of them do come a part
good vid. loose the music
thank you for NOT showing first step - how to remove wheel from the barrel
"take the valve stem off" - you meant take the valve CAP off. "Try not to puncture the rim" - you mean try not to puncture the tube. Very messy getting the tyre back on the rim. Ordinary video.
Looks like a terrible job to do
Thanks for watching, It is!!! Jimbos garage!
WHY WINDEX ????????
Surfactant.
