Thanks so much explaining such a difficult job my friend and I have spent an hour trying to remove the back wheel of my scooter with no luck in removing the wheel have to take it to a tyre service centre we now know how difficult it is. 😢

Tip: An easier way to split the rims is to simply take a flat screw driver and work it slowly around the half space, usually after three taps, it comes apart.

Personally if I'm fitting a new tyre I also fit a new inner tube, as I have done since I first changed a bicycle tyre almost 60 years ago.

HI, Thank you so much for showing us that you can have difficulties, and it is not just always ABC done

it can take a few mins or a few hrs to change a tyre depending on how easy they come apart.

For mine i changed 3 of the tyres with no probs. but the 4th the hex key bolts holding on the inner rim just refuse to come undone and spent all day just trying to get that 1 rim off before i gave up. its got 8 hex bolts on the inside of the wheel. 3 came off easy the rest just refuse to budge. so now ive got 3 brand new 300x 8 tyres on and 1 14x3.50 tyre.

the original tyres were the 14x3.50 directional tread and they kept slipping and sliding on wet leaves. as those tyre size only come in directional tread i got 300x8 block tread tyres that fit on the rim. lost 1 inch ground clearance but at least they fit.

tried solid tyres on the back but the scooter is just to heavy for them and they got flat spots when it was left standing over night and took a few miles to round off again so felt like i had square wheels so now putting those on the front and neumatics on the back.
prob now with 2 diff tyre sizes on the front 1 solid at 50psi and the other a bigger neumatic tyre thats only 32psi max its going to cause a few probs with steering till i can get those flippin hex bolts off.

stupid dealer put road tyres on an all terrain scooter hence the slipping and wheel spins on wet surfaces. its not even the right wheels for it. they put wheels on from a diff make and model and renamed the scooter just so they could say its exclusive that dealer. but its very hard to get the right size tyres to fit it cause of what they did.

got a neighbour who likes to puncture my tyres with a flat head screw driver hence the solid tyres.
ive got a rough idea who it is but no one has seen him do it so cant send him the bill for the repair cost.
3 times in a month both left hand tyres punctured. He couldnt get at the right side tyres as they were against a wall. £70 call out fee for the engineer to come out then £15 per new tube. so learnt how to replace my own tubes by watching him do the repairs.

Would it have come apart easier if you re inflated it

thank you very much this video helped me big time but now I am having trouble with the front tire?

[johnhayes]

What size are the bolts ??? Metric or standard? The 4 or 5 and the center

I need to replace a power wheelchair drive wheel tire. I'll be replacing a tubeless tire. Will this video still work for me?

[anniescolourfullife]

Given that the tyres have been on for a while, I'd have definitely put in a new inner tube.

Hello everyone
Hope you enjoyed the video
Since posting this video I learned a few tricks for separating the wheel from the rim
I will show those tricks in the next tire changing video

INTERESTING THAT THE OLD TIRE WAS A GREY TIRE AND THE NEW ONE WAS A BLACK GREY TIRE INFLATES TO 50 PSI AND THE NEW ONE IS WHAT 35 PSI ????

[pommie]

too much effort? just to save 140$ new wheel incl tire.

Don't seem to me that this yank knows what he's doing
