Had a tube blow out the other day while parked in the driveway. While I was standing right next to it! (Sorry, I don't see an emoticon that deals with changing underwear...) Anyway, the flap had dried out and given way allowing the tube to make a hernia. New tube/new flap. Do I need to do this for all ten? One old hand suggested I coat the exposed strip of flap with WD40 to soften it up. I tried it on the blown out flap and couldn't tell any difference after several days. Any ideas?
These wheels were put on in Tooele in '90 and haven't been touched since. They must have used 1500 ft. lbs of torque. After using every tool available in the free world I managed to get the outer nuts off. No luck on the inner Budd nuts. Anybody got a trick? There's no way to change a tire on the road with nuts that tight. The TM says 325 to 350 on lug nuts.
Open for advice!
