Thank you Fred for your DVDs!!
I decided I was going to try doing tires.
Starting with the one that needs it most.. (front ).
After breaking bead with the combination 5' pry bar and 14" 2x4, using the front of my truck as leverage...... easy job.
After getting the first bead point, tapping the tire around the rim popped off the remaining bead..... both sides.
Used 2 small and 1 large tire iron, some wood wedge blocks and spray wax ( for slippery stuff ) to remove tire on the tailgate of the pickup.
Found the heavy spot on the rim with the balancer.
Used concentrate dish detergent for slippery stuff.
Put the new tire on right on the living room floor with better half watching.
Hearing those 2 POPS applying air was the ** YEH BABY** part
Now, I can't believe that I don't need any balance weight at all ( what the balancer says ) so I'm taking the wheel to the dealer for them to check balance on their spinner.
Tons of gratification knowing I can do this.
Thanks FRED!!!
