Buckaroo Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 My IA is doing an annual on my 2007 CTSW with the Tundra option. I took him a couple Desser 6-6 6 ply tires with heavyweight tubes to mount. He’s having a real hard time squeezing the wheel halves together so he can bolt up. He did one and now he’s fighting the other. Any suggestions to help with this? He was going to also repair the cracked drip trays but abandoned that idea when he discovered the complexity of that!?

Roger Lee Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Here you go. Using clamps makes it easy and far less likely to pinch a tube. I've been doing it like this for 20 years. Matco tire mounting help.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evenly space them and compress the tire all the way around. They work just fine, but be patient! https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-8-in-Quick-Adjustable-C-Clamp-with-Rubber-Handle-99684/302347051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WmInce Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 3 of those C-clamps + Leak Guard Tubes + J&J Baby Powder are all part of my cross-country kit. Roger claims I carry too much stuff with me. I hate being without though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
