Syncro999: "The tyres we use on our Model As are so soft that they can be removed and fitted while the wheel is still on the car if they are warm. Two levers is all anybody needs to take a tyre off at any time and a rubber mallet to put it back. (Maybe even the heel of your boot)"

DaWizard: "
Actually, if you are fixing a flat on the car, even a tire iron is not needed."

Doesn't anyone read their Model A owner/operator manual any more? Or their Dykes manual? Even for those who do not read, there are ample photos showing how the Ford Motor Company recommended a tire be changed. What the above two post report, is exactly how Ford showed the driver to change a tire.
