Where was I....

First, you strap the tire into the breaker


Next, you furiously stomp on the big lever to pull the tire bead off the edge of the rim.

Work your way around the tire with levers, or use a bent blunted screwdriver and channel locks if you're like me.


Pull on stuff really hard, and this will happen

Now, work the tires onto the rims. In the back, it doesn't matter which side of the rim you start on. In front, make sure to push the nose (the outward-facing side) of the rim into a tire bead first. The backs of the front rims have wider bead areas and really stink to assemble that way.

Enjoy your new sweetness!
