Mr.modified's official tire mounting method

[mr.modified]

Maybe this has been gone over before, Just thought this might help someone out. For solid rims, I put a large punch or other suitable object in the vice and set the tire rim down over it. A vice grip on the bottom of the rim against the vice somehow will keep the rim from turning, while a vice grip on the top of the rim will hold the bead of the tire from slipping while you pry it around the rim. Much easier to hold everything.

Reminds for of old tire mounting machine befor pneumatic. Now if can figure out something with a hole in it to put over the punch to put around so you can turn around the rim to help mount. I can't say what I mean. I know you have seen the bar that you hook on the center and you rotate it. It has a lip that goes between the rim and the tire. ??? I knew I should have purchased more vice grips with my sears gift card. Thanks
