Took a trip up the hill to JDToumanian's house to do some tire changing. It was a first for the both of us. I got a chance to borrow a hadraulic bead breaker from the Brothers and Jon got a hammer and lock ring bars. Got there at 1010 and left at 1500 ish. We broke down 13 wheels/tires and assembled 11, as in tubes and flaps in the new tires. The tires were beautiful! Some of them were tough to work with 'cause the beads were touching from being stacked. I left Jon with the airing up part 'cause that was the easiest thing we encountered and it was gettin' real cold and windy. We had mass amounts of wind rain and snow on the way home! It was alot easier than we both thought and went very smooth. FYI, Wd40 on the beads over night works wonders. The 2 others we did that didn't get a soaking were a biatch to get off...either that, or we were getting weak from swinging the hammer! Why is it that the lock ring side is a mother to remove, but the wheel side bead breaks with 1 or hits of a duckbill hammer?
