Default RE: removing tire from rim ?


ORIGINAL: MITCH ..

is there something that I can use to help remove the rubber of the rim eg: nail polish remover
thx for any tips
Bring a big pot of water to a rolling boil. Toss a tire in there.....weigh it down with something to keep it completely submerged.....set a timer for 30 minutes......remove the tire from the water after the 30 minutes.......the rubber will peel right off the rim........just be careful, as it is scalding hot. I do mine this way and it works great.[8D]
