How To: Installing 9:00-16 tires on CMP wheels

[Corey Myronuk]

Excellent post ..lots of great info here..thank you for sharing. I picked up the esco model bead braker a little while ago and for most jobs it works well..however i initially picked it up to remove some 900-20's from some deuce wheels..i quickly found out that with the offset of the wheel center section there isnt enough rim for the tool to grab except in the hand hold areas on the lock ring side..fortunately not an issue on a CMP wheel.
For lubricating threads on pullers and other high force operations i use straight STP on the threads..its slicker than anti sieze and it doesnt have the tendency to follow you around the shop and into the house and onto the wifes finery the way a tiny amount of anti sieze will

Especially if youre doing bodywork and paint.
