    MTR Tire Install

    One had a hole that didn't leak (completely) until it sat on the bottom. Another was cracked in two places in the sidewall. Another had a pin hole where the tread and the sidewall met. I was told by several tire shops that it is unsafe to repair a sidewall puncture. The sidewalls flex too much...

    HMMVW Rims separation & run-flat insert removal + Hutchenson beadlock insert install

    HMMVW Rims separation & run-flat insert removal + Hutchenson beadlock insert install

    Also I used a large jack stand to remove the rear of the wheel. The legs fit on the wheel surface betwix the studs. Hit the top of the jack stand with a sledge...pop off it goes! I used dielectric grease on the O rings. My Dewalt cordless 1/2" impact tool makes quick work on the retainer nuts...

    HMMVW Rims separation & run-flat insert removal + Hutchenson beadlock insert install

    Bought some MTRs for my M1008 unfortunately out of 7 tires I got two that hold air! 5 have sidewall damage! Anyone have any tips for REMOVING Trailworthy PVC inserts? I used a floorjack to make them oval for the install but the only way I can get them out is to cut the sidewall on the tire. Ideas?
