I’m try to replace my tires on my Xtra but so far I am unable to remove them from the Matco split rims. It seems that the beed sealer is being uncooperative (I’m thinking it’s really epoxy or perhaps someone has found a new method to vulcanize rubber to metal). I haven’t found any tire shop that will work on that size of wheel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Brad Nation

Golf cart dealer? Some tire distributors that have a retail dept might do it, as well. Or, a small tire shop in a smaller community will often sell atv/utv tires.

Try a fork lift dealer. They work on small diameter stuff. Maybe somebody used a petroleum based product to put them on. Raises hell trying to get them off. Petroleum will dissolve rubber.

Never used tire sealer on wheels, but had a couple Armstrong tires that refused to release from the beads on either the FS or MKIII wheels. The tire beads were tougher than the light aluminum wheels.

Eventually used a die grinder and cut off wheel to cut the wire bead so I could cut them off.

Don't know anything about golf carts. Do they use a one piece or a split rim? I have ATV and SXS one piece wheels and tires mounted and dismounted at regular tire shops, but they would not touch one of these aluminum split rims. A small "shade tree" shop somewhere might tackle the job.

I had a flat tire when I landed at Fort Nelson, British Columbia, in 2004. A motorcycle gang was using a hanger to build bikes. They tackled the job for me, took me all the way to town to get some patches. Could have never gotten the job done by myself.

I think aircraft tires come off much easier than the golf cart type tires.

Golf cart wheels are one piece; similar in concept to automotive wheels.
The reason I mentioned them is that they will have a bead breaker usable
on small diameter wheels. Leave the wheel assembled, & let them break
the bead on both sides. I'd assume that once the bead is broken free, he
can handle the rest of the job himself.

Problem with breaking tough beads on UL type aluminum wheels is the tire bead is tougher than the aluminum wheel. Very easy to ruin a wheel in the process. The reason I cut the bead with a die grinder was to sacrifice the "off road" tire before I sacrificed the wheel. I'd have second thoughts about butchering an aircraft tire.

Seems like only yesterday that some one suggested that I glue my tires on
rather than use screws to keep them from slipping at low pressure. I think
I will stick with the screws. I don't have a tire changer, but I do have a
screw gun. Smile

I have struggled in the past to break the bead on my Matco wheels. Created a few tools with limited success. The last time I needed to change a tube was at Airventure. Landed on the grass on the UL strip with a totally flat tire, no brakes needed. Taxi speed was slow and lumby. John Williamson followed my in, grumbled later he almost landed on top of me.
Took the wheel/tire to the EAA repair shop with a newly purchased tube. I used their small wheel bead breaker. The bead separated very easy with no deformation of the wheel. The tire changer that has been indicated looks like it could stress the wheel when trying to break the bead. Once these tires seat they really bond themselves to the wheel. HF also sells a small wheel bead breaker that I have been telling myself I will buy next time I change my tires. Getting close little/no tread left.

A regular tire bead breaker should work. You just need to concentrate the force in one spot using a 2 x 3. Apply and hold force then heat area with a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the glue. Once you get it started, the bead should tear loose easily.

I use something like this, together with plywood to protect the wheel on the backside:
http://www.harborfreight.com/bead-breaker-92961.html

As John H. cautioned, be darned careful not to distort the wheel.

If you still have a problem, rig up something to apply concentrated force that you can let sit overnight. Puddle some solvent around the tire bead to help soften the glue.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. I finally got the tires off with the help of a Harbor Freight mini tire changer. It took a bit but worked like a charm.One question though, there was a busted O-Ring inside one of the tires between the wheel halfs but not the other and I couldn’t tell where it went. Any comments or suggestions?

I run tubes in my MKIII.  Don't need the o rings in MATCOs with tubes.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. I finally got the tires off with the help of a Harbor Freight mini tire changer. It took a bit but worked like a charm.
One question though, there was a busted O-Ring inside one of the tires between the wheel halfs but not the other and I couldn’t tell where it went. Any comments or suggestions?

Think the o ring makes it tubeless

I’m using tubs as well. So perhaps the O-ring was left over from the previous owner.
