I installed tubes in my lawn tractor because the tires always had a slow bead leak. I still have the scar on my left hand from the job, and it wasn't easy. Jack up the one wheel and lock it if you can, then use a hammer and large screwdriver or tire iron to push the bead inward. Wear leather gloves, just in case the hammer hits your hand, as it did mine with no gloves on. Then use some tire irons or screwdrivers to peal the tire off the wheel.


BTW, what size is the tire? The smaller they are, the tougher they are to change.
