Removing a pesky tire from rim.

Cut it open?

>>1070008
What did you wedge the jack with?
Did you put it under a truck frame or something?
Run it over.
Seriously, just run over the tire, not the steel part.

>>1070008
Sawzall.

I used a 2x4.

I was thinking I could maybe leave it out in the sun all day and that would soften up whatever is still holding the bead stuck.

>>1070018

Careful though. It has the potential to go flying.

You will most likely have to cut it off, you should also find whoever used that nasty shit and punch them square in the nuts.

A lot of tire places won't touch a wheel if you've used that shit on it.

Yeah, its really glued down on there.

The jack + door frame method easily got the tire squished to a point where it should've broken free, but it's still solidly stuck.

Put a torch on it

If your problem is getting the bead off the rim, just jam the tire behind the wheel of your car and back over it. Position the mower tire and wheel so you back over the tire only. If that doesn't work, it's a plastic wheel and you're a dumbfuck who didn't notice that there was no valve on the damned thing.

>plastic wheel

If it is solid he can Just cut and notch new tread

That was added for humor, numbnuts.

Put lighter fluid where the tire meets the rim and light it.

Had to cut my tires off the rim, too.
But the real pleasure begins when you try to get the new tire on it.
It took 3 guys almost an hour to get those 6 layer tires on the rim, and they used a mounting machine.
You just can't get the right angle with the tire iron.

my dad showed me
get someone to stand on the rim flat on the ground
then another person tries to drive over the tire part with a car or truck. just slowly until the tire pops away from the rim.
I've done it a couple times with car tires. it's a bitch but it works

Tire store. Quite often they will just pop it off for free.

Driving over it works as can a large ass C clamp if you have one.

And like some other diy'ers I had to cut one off. Used a dremmel and cutting wheel to get close, then finally could get a end cutter in there.

how about using the right tool for the job?

Bead breaker hammers exist for a reason.

Bring it to a tire shop they'll do it for 5 bucks
I know this is /diy/ but at home remedies can easily fuck the rim or tire up.

Large flat hear screwdrivers, vice clamps, and patience.

Take small bites, dont get greedy.

SOURCE: Had a difficult mower tire.

I know this is /diy/, but there are some things you really shouldn't bother with, and these little tires are one of them.

>Fix-a-flat was used on it

Toss it into the garbage and never use that fucking shit again. Just think of the price of the new rim as the cost of learning not to do dumb shit

>>1070121
Then you had 3 fucking morons doing it. I can swap out any tire from tiny law mowers to large tractors in about 5 min

Don't think so, slick, the smaller the wheel the more difficult it gets to get the tire on and off.

If its bolt together like the op pic unbolt it and pump it full of water with a pressure washer till it splits.
