Removel of tires from 41 Chev DND

[Bob Carriere]

..... we now have two new options to remove tires.......some where in the barn I have two large wood splitter wedges...... worth an Aussie try....

....and I like the idea of the jack hammer........ will check on daily rental.


The Rotters are prepared to try out new approaches since our local tire dealer has indicated that his employees were spending to much time for what he was charging to unrim a tire......... from $10 to $20....... with 7 + rims to do a little experimentation is indicated......

Will take pictures of one of us bouncing the jack hammer on a tire.....

Jackhamers are cheap in Australia since the invassion of low cost tools from China, you can buy a new unit for about $180. I have abused mine for a number of years with house extensions, post holes and tyres.

I will be doing five new removals in a couple of weeks to fit tyres for Corowa, I will get some photos of Jackhamer action.

Just checked to nite....rental cost of a Hilti electric breaker (AKA jackhammer) is $42 a day.... if I can do the 7 tires I will have saved $100....less the chiropractor fee...... bandages for blisters..... anf the horse liniment for my back

.....but the satisfaction priceless.....

And if there is extra time on the card, you can shave down the high spots on the barn floor. Beware of letting the kids loose on destructive toys.

I need to remove 4 run flat tyres from the Morris CS8 rims....

I will try the wedge and hammer method but I'm not too optimistic .
