The hedges method
G'day All
the way we do it is not take it to some shop and get them to do it, we do it our self and keep the TYRE and rim all in good condition. 1) remove from vehical 2) make sure its flat 3) undo red nuts 4) take steal wedges (use to split timber) using a sledge hammer belt them in around the bead 5) after going right round the rim once usally you have to do it again and again to get in the swing of things 6) once it has move away from the rim just a little bit so one doesnt work anymore you need to set 2 wedges one on top of another and repeat step 5 7) once it moves away even more we have a short steal bar about 18" long with a chisel point thats i used until the rim is loose enough to just pull of by hand TIP 1: usally we put a peace of timber between the rims to protect the thread on the bolts. TIP 2: the biger the sledge hammer the better it hits TIP 3: It doesnt hurt to have a coffe brake in the middle of this method TIP 4: Big heave wedges are better and try hittinh them in on different agles to see what works best You never know what you might find inside as we found a tube with canadian war office markings and a date on it which we gave away to Mike Cecile We havent had one blitz rim beat us yet and that inclueds run flat tyres. If this methord sound like your way of doing things give it a go and if it doesnt work to well invite some friends over for a beer and tell them to bring there sledge hammer But beware it has taken up to 2 days to finish the job with alot of rest. any question or quarys? Have fun Max and Aaron
