Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Sure makes small tire dismount/remount much easier. My zero turn and tractor finish mower keeps popping the tires off the bead so am installing tubes.
Glad it helped!
Nobody likes a buzz kill! Great information Mike!
I have have had those buzz killers a few times! HA!
When I was a kid, I also used to put air in the new tube even before inserting, that got rid of the flatness of the tube, which can sometimes give a hard time LOL, then again after inserted like you did.
Great idea with a that vise.
Yes the vise makes it so much easier!
Thanks, Mike! Gonna hafta make one of those for my vice. Don't do small tires very often but I can see that would make it a lot easier!
I should have seen this or thought of it yrs ago. Simple, brilliant. Thanks so much!!
Thanks!!!
When it comes to putting the tube inside the rim, there's a tool available that has the thread chaser and valve core extractor and a threaded cap on a chain. Thread the cap through the rim hole and attach it to the valve stem, then just stuff the tire in and pull the valve stem through the hole.
Your tool you came up with is genius! You don’t have to wrestle the tire around on the floor or on your lap! Nice job!
It makes life much easier for sure!
good job and very simple. put the large washer on the bottom, keep it simple.
My shop is small so I don't have much room for a vise. I tried changing small tires on the ground. You can get grass in it while inflating and pinch tubes due to the rim twisting. I actually buried a round treated 4" pole in the ground and concreted it in. End up sits around 3 foot high. I drilled a ⅝" hole to put a rod in it. Pulls out to change to ½". When you use tire irons, they need to be the small ones with short spoons. Long spoons pinch that inner tube everytime. 2 things I noticed in the video that'll help. Put a ¼" washer on the valve stem and screw the cap on. Less in the way. Needle nose vise grips will leave less of a mark. I have those for closing off my riding mower fuel line while changing the filter. By the way not necessary anymore. I added a shut-off valve.
just built one just like yours. What a time saver. Eliminated all the muss and fuss of tire changing or adding a tube to a tubeless tire. Thanks for the idea. Works perfectly!
glad I could help!
thank you 😅just what I was looking for I fought this wheel for over an hour got tict off and gave up but now after watching you I will get it done😅😅
You can do it!
Thank you for the information that’s a good help for me. I can still get it done. I have the toolsnecessary in my shop. My problem is I only have one hand, but with the information I can still get it done. Thank you very much.
Thanks for sharing this. I like the way you use vice grips to keep tire from unrolling when you are putting the bead back in place. Appreciate your efforts
my pleasure!
Well, this is just what I needed for repairing/replacing tires for lawn tractors. Thank you very much, sir.
My pleasure!
Lots of good info. I have found that if I warm up the tire say in front of a furnace duct it is easier to get off of the rim. Install the tube, warm it all up again and put it back on the rim. Works great on larger sizes,
Thank you very much! You showed it very well!
Thank you, absolutely brilliant! TH-cam is my university.
Thanks!
Good idea with the vice grips thanks
Thanks for this post, it showed me a easier way to remove small tires without buying a mini tire station from HF. I liked and subscribed to your channel.
Thank you! Glad it helped!
I recently put tubes in old rims and used zip ties around the valve stems to keep them from sucking in.
I like finding a new use for an old part. That's was pretty slick Mike.
Yes I like to repurpose and I have more time to do it now!
Thank you made the job easy
My pleasure!
good job.i would rather do 3 15in.than 1 6 or8 in. thanks.enjoyed the vidieo
thanks! glad you enjoyed it!
Love the idea of the vice grips. Will try that next.
Update: clamping a set of vise grips on the rim changed this task from impossible to “job done” for me. Thank you. I taped the jaws with gorilla tape to minimize scoring on the rim.
Opps Mike just watching this now i am going to change my bolt in the vice. Thanks I now use tire irons. They help me from pinching the tube
Tire irons make it easier for sure!
Nice! Thank you.
My pleasure!
Thanks Bruce! I like that vice tool. You should patent that before some else does.
Great Video!!! Thanks for sharing!
my pleasure!
running a rag around the inside ensures theres nothing to hurt the tube in there
Very well done, Bruce is awesome when it comes to small engines. I have been watching his channel for years. Thanks for sharing this info.
TY! Bruce is a great guy!!
Pretty neat method. Thank you very much.
U r welcome!
Soap 🧼 is your best bet for tire 🛞 mounting-de-mounting, and seating tire 🛞 beads (if necessary). It may be a little bit of a mess, but tire 🛞 beads will go on the rim (or off) very easily. Your friend, Jeff.
Got talc? Yep, sprinkle baby talc on tube prior to installing. It does help the rubber slide into positions as inflated.
Absolutely! Works just like when you put rubber gloves on.
Hands down best video out there for changing out these small tires. Thanks! I’ve recently revisited changing out my own tires . Real pain in the…. Now I have the confidence to get it done using your method. Thanks again!
You are welcome! Let me know how you make with the tire change.
The bead breaker is A+.
I couldn’t agree more…
Wow I made a similar mount tonight and swapped out two tires and added tubes in no time at all
so much easier. thanks for your idea
Glad it helped!
Nice useful video. One thing I do is before I inflate the tube, I rotate the tire about the rim ever so slightly until the valve stem comes out straight and not at an angle.
Absolutely inventive, thanks so much for the awesome information.
Thank you very much!
Thanks, great video. I learned alot. And saved me from buying a mini tire changer😊
my pleasure!
I did this but had a lot of trouble getting the bead to break,finally got it,just took alot of elbow grease lol.
Excellent..I wish I had found you a few days ago...me and a hand truck tire were duking it out...
Been there done that!
This was great, thank you.
You're very welcome!
@@TheDisgruntledMechanic I struggled with the tire on and off for two days. I watched many videos that were no help. After watching you and the vise I got the tire on in about five minutes. Thanks again for sharing your genius.
Love to know my videos helped!
Seen a guy smothering the tube and inside of tyre with talc To prevent them sticking To each other.
My tip, learned over 3 days of struggling to get second agricultural tyre on (first was easy enough) is put vice grips at 6 o clock (valve at 12 o'clock), horizontal with the hump side down toward the tyre; this serves two rôles: 1, obviously to stop the tyre coming off, but 2, more importantly shopping the tyre from riding back up into the rim so helping keeping it down in the drop centre. In hours of vidéos I did not see this. It solved my 3 day problem (obviously with lots of sweat and heeling down on the tyre). Now I can tackle any of thé fifty tyres i have to look after for free instead of wasting time and money taking them to a shop.
I show the vise grip trick in my one tire video using the manual tire changer but not upside down. Good tip
This was xtremely useful information, thank`s a lot, greets from Scandinavia.
Glad it was helpful!
nice mike! you made that look easy! and didnt bend the rim! very pro like
Thanks!
Good job Mike !
Thanks Norm!
He makes it look so easy.. yet when you try it in actual practice its never this easy...
the more you do it the easier it gets!
I made the same type of tool, except with mine I'm using a bolt. I like the way yours mounts to a vice better.
Also, it makes total sense to inflate the inner tube a bit to avoid pinching it! I'm definitely going to try that method. Thanks.
New and improved!
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
I like the vise grip trick buty tire bigger and more difficult
This is AWESOME!!!! Thx!!!
No problem!
Excellent video. Best one out there. Keep up the good work.
TY!
Nice job man...
TY!
Three things; check with your hand inside the tire for sharp objects protruding before putting the tube in, put a layer on the tread side, of flat rubber material to protect the inner tube, and use a cable tie to hold the stem in.
I don't know man you made that look just like you know what you're doing. I made one out of all thread but I like you're idea because of the flat area that fits in the vise. I just may have to get me a spring holder like that and give it a try.
I've done a few of them.
Your moma didnt raise no fool. Awesome Mike 👍
Thanks Steve! That is a great comment coming from you!!!!!
Nice video but im having a hell of a time getting the bead to break. Ive squeezed the tire its pinched to the point it's dam near touching. Still the bead won't brake from the rim. I have a 16x6.5x8 come off my 91 craftsman kohler magnum 18hp Heavy Duty lawn tractor. Love this thing but the tire issue has me pissed off to the point i cant see straight!
I have taken it to a few tire stores but none near me do tires that size. Any tips ponters or suggestions?
Great job!!
Thank you!
Nice
Nice video thanks!
Earings?
Good video
TY!
Baby powder helps to install the tube, on aircraft tires at least ?
I don't understand why the rim is not spinning on the bearing when you tigen the washers down. how are you securing the rim without damaging the bearing??
Good idea
Many many thanks
Since watching I changed about six of these small tires, easy, I used a bolt from a telephone pole with square head and nut.
You the man
TY!
Love the video. Nice and simple. Where can I obtain a bolt with a flat end?
not sure where you live but most tractor supply stores will have them and Amazon.
Hi. I couldn't find the exact bolt that you used. While I was looking I saw some larger eye bolts that worked great. Your video saved me about $60. I was about to purchase the Harbor Freight mini tire changer. After viewing your video I spent about $6 on parts to emulate your design. THANK YOU!
my pleasure!
Question- have you had any problems with the threads on the main bolt getting smashed or damaged, due to the pressure of using it as the fulcrum during de-mount and re-mount? Be easy enough to to put some kind of sleeve over it to protect the threads. Great video bud!
Nope
🤷 found this too late i used a racheting tie down to get my riding mower tires mounted with squeezing tight and air pressure popping it on
Nice work on getting this done Mike! How long is the threaded part of your Spring Bolt? Everyone I find is 6" L. is yours that size also?
yes it is.
Most of those tires require at least a 6" bolt just to get through the hub. 8" to 10" total should work.
I am crazy and I am insane and here it goes. The tool on the vice ingenious. The craziness for me is, I do not have a vice, or compressor or that ingenious tool and I do not know the name of the juice soapy liquid. My healthy insanity is, I am replacing both tires with flat free tires ( non marathon, just different brand). When I replaced my pneumonic tire the first time, I realized I needed air pump which I did not have. Removing the round washer from the axle a total hassle. Another disadvantage for pneumonic tires is if you drive with your load over a nail or any sharp piece of metal or wire you are back to having a new entire problem. To secure the tires I am going to use 5/8" axle bore split clamping shaft collar which comes with screws, easy to secure with allen wrench. Put a little oil or grease on the axle. If all of us had a vice, a large garage and compressors and plenty of tools we would probably be doing this way too. Sometimes you have to live off of the land and do with less.
Some size of pinch hose clamp on valve stem to keep from watching it disappear you know where through the rim
HI Disgruntled, Loved Ur tire change made easy Video, Two questions thought? First I live in the South where can I get a flat headed snow plow bolt 4 My Vice? Second having some problems getting tubeless tire to seal around bead of solid. Rim, besides fire any Great Ideas? Thanks 4- Reply..Kay
Grind down two sides of a Bolt.
A couple of tips: When installing a tube, before you seat the tire bead, spin the tire on the rim to position the valve stem so it's pointing straight out. If it's angled it can cut the valve stem. Also, different tube manufacturers place the valve stems different distances from the center of the rim. I had an ATV tire/rim I put a tube in. The valve stem was closer to the center than the rims hole for it. Not thinking it mattered, I filled it up with air, which tore the valve stem. After buying another tube, I put a smooth-crown bolt in the old hole, covered it with duct tape, and drilled and smoothed out a new hole.
I dont have a snow plow bolt laying around 1
a regular bolt will work. Just in my opinion not as well.
Good idea for that
Learnt somtin t’day
“Schmutsie juice “
And only put it in as far as you need to
Lmao
Where can I come across a snow plow spring bolt in south Texas? 5:15

Mike, I'm planning to make a vise mounted bolt tire changer like what was using in your video. To change small lawn mower tires.what size is the bolt and not you used? 3/4" or 1"? Loved the video. Learned quite a bit.
How about welding e piece of flat to the head of a bolt?
Most small tires are on a 5/8” rod, I think 5/8 would take care of this, I am not mike, but did enjoy what he did, and can see lots of ways to get a bolt to be steady enough to do this trick, thanks Mike
I subscriber to ur Channel 🔥💯
As another youtuber says, "It ain't the space shuttle."
For those of you that don't have a shop, let me suggest how I broke the beat on a stubborn tire. I got a 2×4, about 2-3 ft long and placed the tire in front of my car's front tire. I placed the 2×4 on the edge of the rim, and slowly drove onto it. Voila! It broke the beat. I repeated the procedure for the other side of the tire as well! Happy tiring!
Hey Mike, I got -Er-Done Far as the Bead of Tire not Sealing .Found an old Wide Airplane Cargo Tie-Down Strap left By My Dad & Really Crank that Bad Boy Down in the Center of the Tire. Plus took out Valve Core & just used Straight air Hose connection for Valve Stem. That new Tire really had a Ripple in the middle of it. Still looking for Bolt Like Yours? Love the Mounting the Rim in the Vice Trick Don't think I would ever thought of That Wrestling that Tire on the Floor with Bad Knees. Wasn't about to let that New Tire Kick My Ass HaHaHa. Thanks Disgruntled New Subscriber-Kay
I knew you would figure it out! Plow bolt on Amazon. amzn.to/3NbdDcE
It always annoys me that the manufacturers continue to mount a 10 or 15 psi tire onto a rim, WITHOUT running a tube. 10 psi is nowhere near enough pressure to reliably seat and seal a tubeless tire, especially as the rim ages and rust forms in the bead area. Tractor tires always lose air. All low psi tires should always be running a tube inside. Sealant mostly works, but it is a mess.
It's all about the cost I am sure!
