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

[Bob Carriere]

The work is almost half done....
Pic 32 Time to remove the larger inner cross. We use section of 2x4 to hold the side wall which we pried open.... don't worry the tire will not ride up in the rim that easily.
Pic 33 Time to insert the tube.... making sure to align the tube stem with the rim notch. Blocks have to be romved and reisntalled in turn as you work the tube inside.
Pic 34 The tube had been inflated before inserting to work out the fold/creases due to storage..... it was also warmed up in the balst of warm air form Lucifer. Same was done with the new flap. Most of the iar was removed from the tube and carefully pushed by hand inside the tire cavity.
Pic 35 The new flap is now carefully inserted starting with the tube stem first....... tube and flap can be easily moved to realign if necessary. Excess snoth does help in the movements.
Pic 36 Flap in full bloom....... bottom half has been inserted now the top half needs to be squeezed inside. Keeping about 2 or 3 ppounds of air jsuy enough to keep the tube rounded help a great deal and hold the flap in place.

Now more than 3/4 done.
