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

[Bob Carriere]

Once this is over coudl someone show me how to insert pictures with text so I do not have to use the edit posrtion to add the captions...

Pic 12 Shows the bottom of the rim with the cross sitting inside.... roughly lined up with the wheel holes.
Pic 13 Flipped over the cross is now resting on a scrap piece of wood roughly 7x7 square... it keeps the bottom cross held against the rim and makes it easier to start the bolts.....
Pic 14 shows the upper cross overlapping the rim's edge.
Pic 15 & 16 shows the NOS Michelin tire...... rim is clean ....NO rubber has been removed and no magic dust used to facilitate installation.
Tire was removed from a STEYR rim...... acquired fullly installed from Bombardier who were working on a reverse engineering projecy that went defunct..... all 5 wheel/rims were acquired at a very modest price. Theystill have the rubber teats from the molding and I assumed not driven on except to rool into the plant.

Rims were cut with a 4 in. grinder to make sure the bead would not be damaged during removal.
