I'm Your Huckleberry - Rear Tire Dismount and Mount with Mojo Lever

[Journeyman]

It goes boys, it goes. I wouldn't have bet on it, but I just removed and installed the Exedra Max on my Roadster. It may not have been pretty, but for a first time attempt and with NO damage (more than I can say for my local shops), and on a Sunday, I'm pretty pleased. Every time I started to use excessive force I stopped and tried to figure out what was causing the bind. I think once I get the technique down it actually won't take much force at all. If in doubt, add more tire grease. If that doesn't work you probably need to get one or both beads more centered on the rim. If my tire stand were more solidly anchored that would also help. With one more person to help keep the tire situated, I think it would be a breeze.

No sawzalls or bolt cutters were harmed (or used) in this production

Yeah, but read my sign- "not responsible for damage to rims, blah, blah, blah..."

Well done. I’ll just have my dealer do mine.

Wow! Good job for sure. You got it done, but you did not make it look easy. I did one ONCE, never again, as long as I have a good Friend that owns a tire store. Even then, it takes 2 or 3 men to wrestle the tire off and on. Lot's of lube, cussing, swearing, sweat.

Nicely done!!
I always have a hell of a time getting that second side off the rim and on the Rocket rear have always resorted to cutting the bead.

Well done! My tire should get there next week. What day should I show up and what kind of beer do you drink?
