Setting popped out tyre beads back onto the rim

Recommended Posts

As a professional, I say dont ever do this. Use a bead seater tank.

in the real world I have done it many times but instead of using spray I had a half cup of petrol. Pour it all the way round the tyre, light it and the tyre will seat on the bead so you can inflate it properly with a mini compressor. Be careful. Don't hold a lighter near the bead. Last thing you want is to lose a finger stuck between the tyre and rim. Pour some petrol on the end of a stick, light it then poke the tyre.

But be careful. Have something on hand to put out the flames. Inflate the tyre, remove the valve to expel the explosive gases then inflate it again.

at one of the drives we had to fix the tyre on the rim and inflate it as @skumar83 was not having a proper spare tyre with him with everyones intervention and some hacking the spare was ready :-D

we can also get some input from our newest member @The Tyre Man
