So took the 90 to the garage to take the tyres off me new rims and well they cant! :eek:

The say they've taken them to 2 different places but still no one can budge um.

Any tyre fitters no a secret that they dont???

Something to do wit the pressure or summit.
 
if yer tyres are scrap i good bloke with a jcb should be able to break the beads... basically you stick the bucket on the tyre and lift all 7 tonne of digger off the ground

agreed, I use a mini digger, combination of powering down with the dozer blade and push down on opposite side with the bucket.
 
Proberbly using new fangled wheel machines designed not to hurt alloys. As said try a truck place OR get some enerpac hydraulic wedges ;)
 
If i drive a JCB over it am i not gonna f^*k it up?

I would like to keep the tyres as there still fine.
 
tyre changer and 4 lb lump hammer, tyre lever if required and beat the bead- R% turbo tyres were bastards in their day

use plenty of "for hands that do dishes" easy squesy washing up liquid around the bead of the tire too.

I used to use a "putlock" end of a scafold tube, then drive car/van/truck up it,
lemon squesy it,
then tire lever and hammer if needed.

done hundreds during my madness years of banger/stock car racing.

must admit though,
I never had one of then soooper bumper lift jobbies then.
 
Nice one Tom, i may well do.

The 90 isnt back from the garage yet. monday now.

I personally havent tried anything, i took it to the garage down the road from me and they tried with there machine and another. The rims are provisionally sold so i dont want to damage them in anyway.

Im abit dubious of driving on the tyre also as i want to put the tyres on my new rims.
 
Lorry tyre centre should be able to get them off. They used a kango hammer look alike thing on mine.

I like watching the people down there changing the lorry tyres with a sledge hammer and crowbar. That's real mans tyre fitting :)
 
let the pressure down then drive on them, iv found the easies to get them off with a bar is jack the rear end up, mount the offending wheel and bar against the weight of the vehicle,









or call in a comercial tyre fitters... ;)
