The full gamett of tools needed at home for an easy job. Simplify these for the trail.
Break one side, and start bead removal at the rim-lock.
Alternate irons as the middle and left irons come loose,
Turn tire over, and remove the second bead, yes, the tube is still inside.
The wheel drops down in the tire.
Jerk the wheel from the tire/tube, Bamm !
Inflate and check tube for problems, and rub down with baby powder.
Seal spokes/rim with 3-5 wraps of electrical tape, rim must be clean for this.
Start the first bead of new tire, with rim-lock down.
Work around with 2 irons.
Insert 1/2 the tube.
Cheater tool for locating and pulling stem through stem hole. Left hand fingers also required inside the tire for this procedure.{stem wire puller would make this so much easier}
Inflate the tube with the stem core out.
Lube bead.
Start bead install at the rim-lock, with 3 irons.
Work towards, and finish up at the stem.
Last bit will push on by hand. Lube, inflate again, then install core, and overinflate this time.
Remove safety nut.
Install stem donut.
Set tire pressure to an extra 1.0lbs per/week from next ride. These tires/tubes average a 1.0lb loss per week.
Clean and lube seals and spacers.
Time to order new spacers, me thinks. 3 distinct grooves from seals.
450x complete.
250r complete.
Hope this helps,
