I still take pride in dismounting tires with tire levers (not screwdrivers!) and mounting them with a bit of lubricant and a rubber mallet. It only needs to be done every 2-5 years, so efficiency is not an issue (I’d feel differently if I did it for a living). I can control the operation better doing it by hand and better preserve the finish on my painted rims, and in the pauses between wheels, I can reflect on the generations of vintage/classic sports car and motorcycle owners that preceded me who did this way because they could not afford tire changers. It’s an old car and for me, part of the charm is doing as much as I can old school (with regard for with safe practice and preservation of the car).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Best, Mirek<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>BJ8Healeys<br><b>Sent:</b> September-06-16 7:26 AM<br><b>To:</b> healeys@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Healeys] tire remover<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>I haven't been following this thread and it may already have been mentioned, but before installing the tube in the tire it's good idea to sprinkle talcum/baby powder liberally inside the tire, spread it around, and shake out the excess.
