I put a tube in my lawn tractor's front tire this weekend thanks to your very helpful video! I also threaded a nut onto the Valve Stem to keep it from disappearing back into the hole, and left it there in case it wants to wander later. While filling the tube, I heard the alarming hiss of leaking air, and feared that the new tube had failed - only to realize it was the air escaping from between the tire and the tube before the beads had fully seated - whew! Cheers!

Love this video. :) Brings back memories of grandpa teachin me how to change and patch tires. :')

Good job. But a couple of ideas from an old tire service guy of many years: 1) Pull the valve stem out so the tube will collapse enough to pull it out. 2) As mentioned by someone else, mark the alignment of the valve with the tire before you break the bead so you'll know where to look for a nail or something on the inside. 3) You should burnish off the tube with sand paper or something equally rough to roughen the rubber so the vulcanizing glue can get a better drip and it remove debris (like soapstone) from the tube too. Then clean it off thoroughly. 4) Squeeze all the air out of the tube before you put it back into the tire so it goes in easier. 5) Once the tube is in the tire, put the valve through the hole and add enough air (with the valve core replaced) to round out the tube so it's against the tire and away from the wheel. This will help keep it from getting pinched when you pry the tire back over and it'll prevent it from wrinkling and creasing inside the tire when you inflate it. Nice to see people doing their own work these days. Not enough of that anymore. Good for you!

I was wrasslin puttin a tire back on and out of frustration looked on line. Others had suggestions NONE OF THEM WORKED. Making a hub mount from a long bolt ( all thread) was a terrific idea.

I got a similar changer I made from the rear axle of an MTD mower(that had the flats on the end). I had a machine shop at work so we milled the flat all the down the axle, but you could use a grinder and do it. I made a flat plate about 4" square from some 3/8" plate with a 3/4" hole right in the middle. On the very end of the axle I welded about a 2" square of 3/8" plate and it rests on the square throat of the vise. Then the 4" square plate with the 3/4" holes is slid down and welded.It is rock solid in the big vise on a steel table. I use spacers up and down the shaft that I bought in the hitch pin section of Tractor Supply. I usually put one bushing over the shaft, then the wheel, and more bushings until they barely stick over the top end of the axle where I use a thick homemade washer and a grade 8 bolt in the end of the axle to tighten it down On a MTD rear wheel you don't need anything to keep it from turning the axle sticks up 5 or 6" to give you something to pivot around with your tire tool. I use about a 24"long round bar. Works great!

Well done! FYI, what you removed is the core of the Schrader valve. The Schrader valve is the entire assembly including the stem, core, etc. If you think you may be dismounting and mounting tires every once in a while, you may want to think of picking up a set of small tire spoons. They're inexpensive. Amazon or even Harbor Freight as them for a few bucks and they're less likely to damage a tire or inner tube. One more thing: You don't have to remove the core to set the bead with an inner tube but it doesn't hurt. But it's almost necessary when popping the bead with a tubeless tire.

It's a good idea to mark the tire where the valve is in relation to the tire. That should give you an idea where to look for whatever caused the leak. After you find the leak on the tube when you get it out, lay it on the tire so the valve is on the mark you made on the sidewall and carefully feel in there for a nail, staple, even a needle or anything else that punctured it. Use a waded up paper towel or shop rag to sweep around. Saves the fingers. If it's a really big hole, you should put a patch on the inside of the tire so the tube doesn't find it's way out the hole, I've seen that happen. Then patch the tube and you should be all set.

Bruce did you know that there is a correct and incorrect direction to install a snap ring and an "E" clip? When the spring steel is stamped on the one side the edges are rounded from the stamping procedure and the under side is still sharp. IT is best to install the snap ring (E clip) with the sharp edge toward the direction of removal. IT holds in place with more strength and is less likely to slip off.

Get two tire irons , put them in at the same place and then put one on each side of the bolt and hold one and just pull the other in the opposite direction and voila the bead is off .

Putting some baby powder in the tire before putting the tube in or on the tube will allow the tube to inflate properly .
