Good luck with the rear today...its a pain in the ass. Hardest part is to remove just cut it. That's what I'm doing next time, seems like a sharp razor blade is what Ker uses, not sure If anyone has any better options.
I've been trying to come up with a way to help push the tire down into the drop center when mounting it. I thought of mounting a bottle Jack t the arm of the unit to help push it down which would make getting the tire ON and OFF easier.
Also throw the new tire out in the Texas sun for a few hours before you try mounting it. That will help soften it up for you.

Yep tried those, you will see today! Lol. I even have 3 of them it barely pushes it down more than a 1/4" the sidewall is too narrow on our 300 it requires significantly more pressure.they make these to help push down on the tire

Actually if you got someone to hold down 1 or 2 tire spoons they make that would be a lot better to push it down. That's what I plan on doing next time.

I wonder why I don't seem to have a hard time getting tires off and on. Most of the time I wish I had more to do with the setup time being included! Are you using enough lubrication? Maybe I'm doing something a little different and don't really think about it since I've been changing tires manually since I was a teenager!

Where do you order "Mr Buffer" from. I tried to google it and cant seem to find anyplace that sells it?

The 330 Rim actually has a deeper dish which probably makes it grab and hold easier, especially getting the tool down there to take the tire off.

well its been a while since i had to order any. guess they went out of business. it takes very little to polish aluminum with this stuff.

got it done today. did cut the tire in half.... came off alot easier. the first half of the new tire just fell on with a little pressure. the top section took a little force and mods on the bead seating arm. took one of the no mar prongs off and it helped a bunch. was to much to stretch with both bead seating prongs on it.

i used my cordless sawzall with a shorty metal blade ..once i got a hole started, i stuck it inside and turned around where it was cutting from the inside out... that way it would pull the rubber into the blade and keep from hitting the rim if it did. ... took about a minute to run all the way around.
How did the mounting go? Sawzall makes sense with a tiny blade

i actually stuck a wratchet srap around the the tire pulling it down together and then at the right area i used the bead breaker tool to push down on the tire to keep it down some.. i had to tie the bead breaker arm down to the tire machine sine i was a one man show. YOU GOT TO IMPROVISEYep tried those, you will see today! Lol.

it went good. took more time polishing all that aluminum and replacing the bearings.
Yea I got the cycle hill changer and the bead breaker is on the floor. Makes breaking the bead easy but I see how you could leverage it to do that. Hmmmm.
I'm a one man show too usually and yea I didn't cut the tire either and demounted it the supposedly easy way. Ill never do that again it took longer fighting to demount than to even put it on that's for sure.

yea tried for 5 minutes just trying to get the demount bar under the tire. screw that and got the sawzall. knew it would cut the tire since i used it to cut the old tire when i made the clocks.
