You just don't know how much this has helped me and my sister my dad past last may and they live in the country. We've moved home to take of mom and were kinda learning alot of things. So thanks so much. You dont know how many times ive taking tires into get aired up.

[@ALOPEZ255]

Good rope trick. Thank you very much!

[@edwardgomez6878]

Oke

[@wordreet]

As an ex pro tire fitter, let me say, NEVER use automotive or any other petroleum based grease on a tire. Over time it can attack the rubber and it doesn't dry up, so can encourage the tire to slip back off the bead seat if it comes under an extreme sideways force. These tires should only run about 15 psi max. If you don't have the correct type of tire soap (that's what we used to call it anyway) use some hand soap diluted in water. Not hand cleaner though, just from a bar of soap. I gave you a thumbs up though, because your rope 'belt' was spot on. We had a type of cinch strap which also had an inflatable tube inside it. And yes, a roof rack strap can help, though cheap ones may not be strong enough. Secondarily, if you can rest the rim on something so that the tire walls won't touch your bench or floor, you can then push down on the tire and the back bead, in this case, should come in contact with the back of the rim and pop onto the sealing face. I could see that every time you pushed the air line onto the valve stem, you pushed the rim away from the back of the tire. ;¬) A 'clip on' type air connector will help the situation too, as you'd have both hands mostly free.

[@jamesrogers8880]

A little liquid soap is all that's needed.

[@westside832]

So don't use grease use bar of soap and hot water then do it with a rope wrench

[@RalphSampson...]

@@Repurplecirculation You are correct in that silicone won't attack the rubber but, it is too slippery and doesn't dry or dissipate readily. Soap is the best. It stays fluid long enough (without drying) to seat the tire without becoming an issue later with a lateral force on the tire pushing it off the rim.

[@dirtworkingirl]

Most of all he removed valve core NOT valve stem.

[@jaimevega3241]

Man you save me time, frustration and cost. I've spent all day trying to get this tire air up and your video immediately helped. I'm glad there's still capable people in this world. You rock!

[@harbo57]

Just use a ratchet strap

[@Mrsgeckofreak1000]

Thank you for this video. My husband and I spent 2 hours trying to get this damn tire on. Neither of us have a father to teach us any of this stuff, so it means a lot to us that you're teaching something that may seem so trivial to most. I almost cried when we got it on! Thank you!

[@goofyahhh254]

That's awesome! 😂 well done.

[@stevekelly2007]

The rope worked like a charm and I didn't even have to take the front tire off the lawnmower. I just lifted the front end and put a jackstand under it. I used a heavy duty screwdriver versus the metal pipe. Total repair time was about 5 minutes, which included set-up and clean-up. This is something I will always remember. Thanks for sharing!

[@GooseGosselin]

This saved me SOOOO much aggravation, thank you! I used a ratcheting tie down strap, I didn't even have to take the tire off my snowblower or use any grease.

[@Durgondkir]

Goose Gosselin I’m having this same problem with my snowblower. Hoping that works as well as you say!

[@GooseGosselin]

@@Durgondkir Be careful releasing the ratchet strap, I had to really squash the tire down to get the tire to seal to the rim, once I got some air in, the strap was under a ton of pressure, it released like a bullet.

[@barrygrant2907]

@@GooseGosselin Once the bead is seated, let some air pressure out of the tire to remove the strap, and re-inflate the tire to proper pressure.

[@joshualopez3172]

I used a ratchet strap with the wheel still on the mower and it worked! I didn’t remove the valve stem. I’m back up and mowing. Thanks for the awesome knowledge.

[@suzettemartens8928]

Thanx 4 the vid bud. My old man just passed away mid-last yr. & I have NO idea about any of this stuff. my generator cart tires will be back 2 normal right away. Keep it up. Hoop/Suzette

[@daltonpoff5051]

You are a genius thank you so much! I wrestled around for an hour trying to get this tire fixed! The rope thing does work people!

[@gdbonney]

Nice job DW6, I've usually used a ratchet strap, but great to innovate with the rope and pipe.

[@kitt28]

this video helped me fix my tire on my tractor, BIG Thanks!!!!!!

[@eco_guardian]

DUDE - you are the man. Flat snowblower tire and couldn't get the wheel off, and of course it was the bead at the back that was off. This worked like a charm with a ratchet strap. You are bromance material brother. Thank you thank you.

[@tlimouze]

This worked for me! Used expired crisco in place of grease (didn’t have it) and ratchet straps. Used free air compressor at gas station. Thanks for posting!!!

[@howardwright2662]

Great tip. I enjoy your videos.

[@ralph1bart]

Good info. Thanks for posting!

[@andrewwiley813]

Great video. I never thought of the ratchet strap. I been trying forever to get my trailer tire to seal and inflate with no luck. Put a ratchet strap around it and some dawn dish detergent and it sealed right up. Almost went and bought another tire and rim but this video saved me from that. Thanks for posting this

Struggled for an hour n decided to tube n found ur video .....now my tire is all aired up n I’m mowing d lawn..thank u brother

[@motorsandmore990]

That looked easier than the ratchet strap method, or the brake clean and fire method😁

[@dagrote1]

DW's method is a good one, too, but the starter fluid/lighted match method takes about 30 seconds. Let me tell you how I learned about it. (Profanity Warning) A old guy was watching some of us younger guys try to rebead a tire and really screwing it up. Finally he'd had enough and started in on us. "God fucking damn it. You fucking shits don't know fucking shit . . . " You know how it goes. So while he's igniting the air with profanity, he's getting brake fluid and a match. He puts a couple of squirts of fluid in the tire, and we all gather around. "Get the fuck back, you stupid fucks!" So we step back. He throws a couple of matches at the tire. The third one takes and the tire flips about five feet into the air and comes back down. We're all amazed that the tire is perfectly set. "You know what to do now, you stupid fucks." Lesson learned!

[@wordreet]

Sounds about right. But I won't recommend it. A tire AND wheel ain't no game ball!!!

[@miseriavolare6620]

Navy or Marines?

[@Thatcntrygirl1]

My husband went to tractor supply to get fix a flat thinking it would seal it but I googled air tire off rim and after 1St try it worked! 4 years later and your video is still helping people thank you so much.

[@pelicanbrad]

Taking out the valve stem did it for us. Thank you!

[@jack2freeman37]

You didn't remove the valve stem. You removed the valve core from the valve stem.

[@wesvan8806]

Thank God it’s a video too😊

[@iansomerville9405]

Picky, picky! Removing the valve stem probably will require replacing the stem.

[@RMS-gl6wl]

[@uleglenn4438]

Thank you very much. I am a 75 year old woman and with God's help and ur video I was able to get my tire back on the rim and fill it!

Yeah me too..78.. hope I get it 🤷‍♀️

[@user-ug9rr1mx1h]

Doublewide6, Thanks a lot. My generator tire goes off bead on a regular basis. Your method worked beautifully. I just cleaned the bead area on tire and rim, wrapped the rope and put the air to it. Didn’t even have to remove the valve. Thank you!!

[@jackhenderson5690]

Used a ratchet strap on my walk behind snowblower tire and it worked like a charm. Thank you!!!

[@lawrencemartino2302]

[@HeidiCotler]

Thanks! Looking forward to inflating hand truck and wheel barrow tires with this new knowledge!

[@bobmoore5242]

Enjoy and learn from your videos. I just bought a Harbor Freight mini tire changer. No longer suffering with small tires.

[@davidshears1449]

Great explanation. You be surprised how many tire places that will not fix a lawnmower tired. I used dish detergent like dawn to help seal. It worked....thank you so much. I used rachet strap..so much easier.

[@sicvid6914]

Two years ago my snowblower tire bead broke and I was unable to get the tire off the shaft (even after heating and beating). I procrastinated last year and didn't get it repaired. I intended on calling the repair shop and expected to pay for pickup, delivery and repair 💰. I tried the rope but the rope I had stretched then broke. I used an old cheap extension cord, a screwdriver and wrench handle. A big thank you for the video. I was able to make the repair myself with the wheel still on the blower. ☃️❄👍

[@macfisher4004]

Nice trick to inflate the tire. Once when my snowblower tire with a plastic rim separated, I filled the broken bead with petrolem jelly. It was enough to let me fill the tire. This was before I got into KZbin videos to help. Count me in the contest! Thanks.

[@karenmarie8704]

Now I gotta go back to fixing my flat tire. Thank you Very Much

[@aleblanc3547]

Good luck everyone on the contest!! Those little tires can be tough to re-bead. I used to work at Sears mounting tires after school on a Coats 10-10 machine. We had an inflatable tube we could place on the outside of the tire to serve the same purpose of squeezing the bead against the rim. Some of those old bias-ply tires could be pretty rough to seat. I love Zip's channel...he's a character to be sure!! Thanks, Bob.

[@woodcraft70]

On my lawnmower, rototiller, wheelbarrow and lawn trailer tires, I use soapy water and occasionally use some bead sealer. For my bead seating, I use a piece of 1/4" rope with an old lawnmower pull-type starter handle. I tie a truckers hitch or load binding knot which gives me compound leverage to get the bead to seat. Still a good video. Thanks for sharing.

[@heididyke9317]

It works! I used a ratchet strap looking at a foot of snow on a snowblower tire....Thank you

[@dantandecki3047]

Thank you so much. I used the rope and pipe method. It's all I had? You are "the man"! I just shook my head when it aired up and said to myself, some guys are so dang smart. Take care.

[@eurovw1746]

Awesome tip. I've struggled for years with these things, even resorted to putting tubes in. This should make it much easier. Thanks.

[@gregkathymyers]

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us!. I am a grieving but surviving & happy widow of 2 years that loves to do home made remedies to save money. i had a tire unseeded on both sides so after watching your video I was able to keep the tire on the tractor and used your rope technique, with removal of valve stem but I didn't have grease so I used petroleum jelly. Then used air compressor at 100 psi like you said & BINGO! Replacing the valve put me down to 4psi. Hahaha. But successful! I scraped off the excess petroleum jelly to save for the next project. The tire seeded to the rim! Kudos to your sharing this info. ❤

[@ernestrichendollar8177]

THANK YOU! This is why I love KZbin! This morning I couldn’t get the 13” tire from my pop-up camper to seal. I watched this video, used a ratchet strap and sprayed the rim/tire with a little water. BAM! It worked perfectly! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge! You saved me some money and a lot of time!

[@davidtropea4436]

Thank you for explaining about the valve stem and the ability to fill it once the stem is removed. Only video that actually explained it

[@johnrolfes2250]

You are a lifesaver! snowblower tire popped off the bead today while clearing the driveway from storm #1. With storm #2 arriving this afternoon I needed some help. This simple repair using a rope (i used rachet strap) put enough pressure on the tire to go onto the bead and let me fill it with air THANK YOU!

[@cliffsta87337]

I’ve used this method twice. Thanks for sharing.

[@donmcrae6001]

JUst had to use your youtube video to fix a flat on my lawn tractor. Worked great! The Audrew tire inflater looks like a handy tool to have around the house. Thanks for the give away!

[@davidsylvestro]

Thank you Brother - it worked! I was thinking that I had to wait until tomorrow to get to Town Fair Tire for a repair then thought to check KZbin. Found you, easiest of ALL materials needed, and it did the job in MAYBE five minutes (once I wrestled the damn tire of the lawn mower...). I did use a squirt of Dawn for dishes around the bead area and it worked perfectly. Thanks again!

[@wklemp57]

Have been using that method on all tires for over 25 years. from a small garden tractor tires to big rig tires. Used ropes, chains with binders to ratchet straps. I have used a blow gun shooting air into one side and had luck seating the bead on small tires. Same process as a bead blaster on big rig tires. Good video.

[@patriciastreetertrice976]

Love this video I never changed any tire before.this taught me how to change my own tractor. Very helpful. I thank guys from the bottom of my heart.

[@TomTom-by5sx]

doublewide Repairs LLC Well done, I've done that on wide Bobcat tires a few times and it works but with a little more difficulty. There's another way but I don't think it's appropriate for the general public.

[@ronkpaws1]

I am glad you showed people a safe way to work on getting a off rim tire re-inflated.

[@loa81]

Thank you, sir! My little hand pull dump cart was overloaded by someone, we won’t mention my name. All four tires popped off the rims. I watched another of your videos which is just using the rope and a lever. It worked for two of the four tires. Had to give up until morning -too cold and dark to finish tonight. I’ll try the hot water and bar of soap, too. Happy cart person here who will not try to carry too much bagged concrete mix at one time ever again! Thanks again!

That's how we did tires in the 60's. It was an "air belt" that was inflated to push the bead out. Good tips. Thanks.

[@ccdirecttvdllc5246]

Worked like a charm. The small front tire on my Zero Turn Mower. I cleaned the bead and the bead part of the tire as another KZbin video suggested. Could not get the tire to seal until i watched your video. Holding at 42lbs. Will see what it looks like in the morning.

[@2HAMMERS1]

I have tie down straps and a compressor I have seen a few videos guys setting their tire of fire, like WTF After watching Double Wide's video He saved me time as I was going to do the same darn thing as Double Wide6 LOL Yup got my compressor out, tie down straps Now I am going to check on the tire in a day or so and see if I still have 20Lbs in my tire. Thanks Double Wide6 Montreal, Quebec

[@darkpatches]

Thanks! The ratchet and strap I was using to compress the tire wasn't cutting it. Rope trick and wrench (and knee) hit the spot. So beautiful watching it inflate.

[@orlandoc661]

Still the coolest video. I can't stop watching... I was having trouble seading my lawn tractor tire. Nothing wrong with the ol school method👍 thx for sharing

[@orionkathy]

Your video was helpful. I have a spreader that has an unseated tubeless tyre. I will use your methods to eye if I can get it back on the rim. As a recent widow I am finding myself having to fix things and not knowing how. Instructional videos like this are soooo helpful. That portable air compressor would be great to have especially in an emergency or working away from home. Thank you. Kathy

[@j.k.barber6877]

this worked like a champ...a bit of grease and the rope did the trick...taking in to consideration the comment re: automotive grease on tires i plan to clean it off as best as possible...fortunately for me, the tire is on a log splitter that gets moved/pushed by hand and wont have much over the road - at-speed - exposure. thanks for the video

[@edwinbaezjr.945]

Thank you Sir for your video. I had 2 flat tires on my tiller. I had to change the valve on both. I used the grease and rope combo and it worked. Thank you!!!!

[@peterkent6399]

Thanks for this! I'd tried the ratchet strap/rope method and a bunch of other things but nothing was working. Then removed the valve stem and gave it a blast from the compressor and it worked great for me. Never would have thought of that.

[@jaydee123ish]

I like to this thing as u say, had one before come in handy. I think I've seen that tire rope trick before but it still works excellent. The tire compressor will come in handy as my compressor I keep in my shed doesn't work well in the cold. As I live in Canada in the great white north. Keep the videos coming

[@nurseratchet2634]

Thank you for this video, it helped me a lot. 😊 I was putting on a new tire on my snowblower. I tried the ratchet strap method first, but that just resulted in a lot of cursing, lol. The rope, a tire spoon to twist the rope, a shot of air from my table top compressor with the valve stem removed, and success. Although, I did shoot the valve stem up to the ceiling on my first attempt. Thank you again. I do come to your channel often.

[@ricklohr3023]

Thanks. I used an old wire rachet that comes with an above ground pool cover with strong twine and it worked equally well. I didn't even have to remove the stem core. I did tip up the snowblower to take the weight off, spray water around the seal on both sides to help it seal, then used a portable trickle pump since I didn't have my big compressor handy.

[@jescalia]

You just made my life a little easier! Thanks. Now I have to go re-seat the tires on my snow thrower. Happy New Year.

[@johnwardle8513]

Nicely presented! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@philod902]

I've had good luck removing the inflator attachment as well as the valve and putting a quick blast straight from the hose coupler. It also helps to put the rim up off the table with a block of wood etc. , broken bead down, for gravity assist. Straight dishwashing liquid is a good lube if no grease is available.
