tires and wheels
 

trying to remove tires from rims seems to be a bit diffacult i was told to boil them please help

RE: tires and wheels
 

soak them in acetone....or debonder, but acetone is cheap.

RE: tires and wheels
 

Easiest way...

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place tires on a foil covered cookie sheet. TURN OVEN OFF. Immediately place cookie sheet on middle rack in oven. Let them stay in oven for about 45 minutes. Remove. Let cool to room temp, otherwise you can stretch tires. The glue should be crystalized and you shoul dbe able to pop tires off.

P.S. it stinks. Open the windows.

Really??? The oven??? Might have to try that one....Why wouldnt that warp the wheels?

RE: tires and wheels
 

The oven works best for me too. The downside is when I use the oven to "bake" my tires off, the next couploe of things I cook taste like rubber.

lol thats pretty sick. but why doesnt some company make a liquid that will like liquifie super glue? i would buy it.

RE: tires and wheels
 

Me too...Good idea for an invention! Could make millions!

RE: tires and wheels
 

it is called acetone, or nail polish remover...but plain acetone is cheaper, it is the active ingredient in nail polish remover. put enough in an airtight box to immerse the tire and leave em overnight, in the morning, the tires will come off.

RE: tires and wheels
 

Acetone works like a charm. Just soak overnight and they come off like they were never glued.

RE: tires and wheels

RE: tires and wheels
 

Yes Home Depot carries Acetone, Lowes probably carries also.

RE: tires and wheels
 

I'm afraid of using any kind of transdermal substance like acetone without plenty of protection.

Seriously, make sure you follow the safety precautions on this stuff.
