Default Another Way Grandpop Was Tougher Than Me

OK.....World War I, Great Depression, World War II and wool underwear were all more than enough.

But God dangit - swapping tires with nothing but spoons!

I just spent half an hour sweating my arse off thinking I was going to lose a tooth at any moment. Couldn't budge tire one.

Old School be darned. I'm off to the tire shop.

Update....a little citrus degreaser broke the bead & it was a piece of cake after that.

Now...the new rubber is stiffer than the old. What's that plastic bag trick for mounting?
