So I had a tyre explode, could not get just tyre, so I found some tyres and rims, they are 28 inch.......
Tractor sort of stuck away from air, but I can deal with that one way or another....anyways, I got one of the replacement tyres off by driving my truck on an breaking bead, it did not let go easy and they were not long on the rims, which are clean.
I have some 24 inch tyre irons, some old breaker bars, sledge hammer and some long 8 ft digging bars, anyways, I am thinking is it going to be better taking the blown tyre off while rim is still on tractor ?
Of course it is all fouled up with dung etc, so I am going to blast it clean if I can, but in reality, it does not matter if I damage tyre or tube, hole is larger than a fist, but want it clean when going on, and that is where doing it on the ground may be a bugger, the new one is already full of gunk from me wrestling it even though I put pallets down first.....I have decided to do res in daylight tomorrow, as I do not want sand etc inside rim pressing on tube...
So..
What would you do ?
I am not going to buy more tools, but I do have things like rubber mallets, dead weight mallets, soft face mallets, I have tree cutting wedges in steel and plastic, mattocks, bars, claw hammers etc..
How would you deal with the tyre on the rim that is blown, do it on there using bars and sledge, or just take it off and get it somewhere onto concrete and with air close by.... I found it a bugger getting the rim off on teh ground, as said, levers are 24 inch and wheel is 28, so no standing on one while working the other, I could use a ground working bar though I guess.....
