I probably need a bigger stronger inflator than what I have.. its one of
those small $10 ones from wallmart. normally it does the trick.. oh well..
plan B tomorrow..
Plan B = figure it out after coffee in the morning.. hhahaha
Well you could try the trick loggers use on the flat tires on their
skidders. You know the big 4 - 6 foot diameter tires.
You squirt some propane or butane in throug the inflator valve. Then toss a
lit match at the leaks coming out past the bead. Ther isn't enoug propane to
do any real damage but the explosion delivers enough gasses so fast the tire
expands rapidly.
Caution!
Best done with wheel removed from vehicle. Also best done outdoors. <VBG>
In winter time its often the only way to handle flat skidder tires that
have sat overnight at minus 20 or lower. I have seen this work a dozen times
after a shop compressor failed to inflate the tier and seat the bead on the
rim.
