All good info, thanks everyone! At least now there are a bunch of methods saved in the archives.

I'll try the boiling method next time, makes sense to me!

I am thinking of machining a cone that would fit over BVM wheel, tried to do that last night but did not have a large enough piece of aluminum stock handy.

Thank you todd for giving up this secret. It was painfull trying to get to the end of this one. Mike LOL

Hate to bring this old topic up again (my fingers still hurt 4 months later!) but has anyone seen this new tool from BVM yet?

About $20 per size (cone and push board)...My order is in already.

I have been using similar tools that I turned myself, as well as this week I just got one of the new tools in for the Kingcat/Phantom size tires works great.
