So I did a ton of research on this. Watched a few really bad online videos of this. And I mean really bad videos- people, you should care how you make this instructional videos- put some clothes on your kid that running in and out of frame, maybe turn on a light or two.
All this to determine the process and order to certain things I'm doing; take off part A because it's attached to part C, and part B is what we really want to show through and part D is what will be painted black and remounted, but not before part E is removed and cleaned up. That sort of thing.
So the subject of the researching this time around was tires. Specifically removing one and mounting new one. Now I've historically reserved such fun things for a professional shop and one of those slips of paper from the checkbook; i.e.: a check. And that's fine and sometimes that's even preferred, i.e.: usually. This time however, it's part "I wanna do it by myself" sort of tantrum and part "meeesa no moohlah to trade." (OMG- my first JarJar quote. Ugh).
I digress. Back to the tire. So, there's lots of advice and lots of machines to rent or buy or lots of options and theories and zip ties and 2x4s on how to break the bead of an old tire and remove. Lots of theories. But I figure I can do it my own way, and have my own theory, and really everything will work out just fine. My 'what could go wrong' has never let me down. Usually. And this time, right again. Turns out just sorta standing on it once or twice does the trick.
Proof once more that, properly applied force in stupid looking ways can accomplish as much as thinking it through or paying a professional to do it right can. Although that's not really true, but I will take things working out, every time it actually happens to work out, every time.
Seemed to work for JarJar anyway.
