HOw long to boil tires for?????
 
How long do I have to boil tires till I can get the glue to come off? And also my TTR ST-1 on the head there is 6 screws this is the 1st time I ever took the head off and only had 5 bolts[:@] The other bolts were in there pretty good but what do you think I should do? I have another bolt from my t-maxx its a little shorter try that?[:@] Thanks guys..>>!

I think it's like 15 minutes for the tires, and maybe try that shorter screw with some loctite.

do not loctite the head screws on the heat from the engine will me;t the loctite and get into the engine ,....no- no a-main and get some new head bolts . boiling tires never had good luck i threw them out after 3 hours of trying .

once the water is bubbling it takes like 5 minutes per side. i use a fork to hold'em down underwater and a butter knife to tear the tire off, just a little twist. its a pain but it gives you something to do when the weather is bad out.
