Re: [MBZ] Mounting tires

I got the first one mounted although the either trick did not work. All it did was burn, I didn’t get the explosion I needed. I finally got it seated with tire machine bead blaster. Maybe the heat was enough to loosen up the sidewall a bit. Next one is being stubborn as well Sent from my iPhone

Re: [MBZ] Mounting tires

Use great care with the starting fluid trick... ether is very explosive... a brief spurt is enough. Also, tape a match to a coat hanger wire so you are not standing over the tire when you light it off. Ratchet strap should give you even expansion... I like to use one that is 2 inchs wide. They are

I tried that, it just bunches up at one side. I guess I will try the starting fluid trick but am going to have to go down and buy some. The cam I have just pisses a stream out instead of spraying out like it should. Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 17, 2018, at 10:22 AM, G Mann via Mercedes > wr

Re: [MBZ] Mounting tires

Ratchet strap around the center of the tread will cause the tire bead to balloon up to catch the rim. BTDT a bunch with equipment tires that are super stiff, for example. Also, paint the bead with Ruglide [rubber lubricant] or dish soap, which gives you a little advantage to seat the bead and g

I am trying to mount this new set of tires on this 240d. They were strapped together for shipping which compressed the sidewalls down to about an inch of each other. I can’t get the damn things to seat on the rims. The bead blaster on my tires machine does not seem to be helping. Any ideas? Sen

Re: [MBZ] mounting tires tars

I hear that those doodads are unreliable. Around here, the techs all use a torque wrench to chech the wheel nuts. A while back I had some real excited techs because they could not find my truck in their book so could not satisfy themselves that they had the correct torque value. They made me pro

Re: [MBZ] mounting tires tars

Any reputable tar shop should be using the flexible extensions on their rattle guns that prevent over torquing. Mine does, and I even see their guys looking up the specs for each car, putting the value(s) on the work order, and changing the extensions as required. For what it's worth, I think I

I do not pay to mount tires since I have a tire machine and spin balancer so I do it myself So if we ship the tars to you, you'll mount on the appropriate wheels, and balance them, and send them to us for free? Sounds like a deal to me! ___ http://www.o
