How To Remove CA'd Tires from Rims Easily
 

The video was cut short by a minute as I was explaining more but if you have any questions just post or PM me.

If the Tires Do Not Pop or Break loose easily they are not Hot enough, They should seperate really easily. Everyones oven runs a slightly different temp so use a timer and play it safe, set for 5-6 minute intervals. When you remove the tires from the oven and they are smoking,it's too hot,bump the temp down a little. To hot will allow the CA to break loose easier but you will risk tearing the tire. Use even pressure when pushing on the bead using several fingers rather than one. You'll see how little pressure I applied to the tire in order for it to break free, If you have to work at it, it's not hot enough.

I sincerely hopes this helps anyone to save some money,because the freakin' tires ain't cheap.

acetone works better...

You clearly didn't watch my video

"Do it the "BRO WAY" and bake them !!!!" Classic!

YES SIR and "BAKE-A-LATED"

Very Good Video Bondo. :yipi:

Thanks for the tips. I have several rims here that have blown a tire, a small collection really. Alot of times when a tire comes unglued at high speed, it will rip the rubber of the tire. There's still a good rim there.

I'll try this method. It looks easy enough.

One question, I wonder if a dedicated pair of oven gloves or mitts would be good for this?

Oven gloves/mitss, you mean BAKE-A-LATED BRO GLOVES

Much better than a squirrel vid...

Great vid!
The belch gave it that added touch:lol:

The Linc seal of approval, can't argue with that ! Thanks Bro.

Very nice vid man... Thanks for sharing.

Ben doing a lot of talking with a fellow member about swappin tires and rims around due to a Hub diameter changes. I thought I might as well do somthing I could share with all you fine gentlemen here on the best forum I've had the pleasure being a member of.

After you bake and removed a few you'll know what'll work best for you.
I've tried everything over the last 9-10yrs and I've found a simple expendable dish rag works best for me. I don't want a lot of material in the way so If the tire starts to tear (It's happened) I can feel and see it happening.
Anymore Q's just shoot.

good video! Still won't pry me away from acetone, but the baking method is tons better than boiling.

Thank You but,think about this;
So with the Acetone you must "submerge" the rim and tire and let it soak and "marinate" in the chemical. After soaking pull them out and while your trying to wring them out of the liquid you have to break the glue loose and try not to splash that crap on your nutz and slop it all over. Then try to wipe away all the gooey CA all-while your hands are soaked in chemical. After they dry (hands,tires,foams)you'll still have to clean the beads up and HOPE the molded foams will not disform or break down chemically(loose denseness) .
And your way you can do 1 at at a time, sounds more efffeciant and it's easier ?

Maybe your right ?

Pardon the Sarcasim,But try it once. The bonus is, you can do it next to the fridge and have cold beers at your disposal while you experiment.

HAHAHA
Oh man, this is hilarious.

Whats the down to boiling?
Seems pretty simple to me, dunk it in for about 15 minutes, gloves to pick up the rim (with a string)...

I guess you'll destroy the chrome on chromed wheels.

I used to bake them all the time, my main complaint was alot of the wheels/tires I got lots were sloppily glued, and after baking I'd have to get all the crusty stuff off the wheels/tires. I started messing with the acetone, I have several old cool whip containers, and large foldgers plastic coffee cans it just pour an inch or so in the bottom and let the tire soak for an hour or so. I'll flip it over then let is soak again. Usually they will roll right off, wring out the foams and let dry. What didn't dissolve of the ca I'll take a soaked rag and wipe around the tires to get it off. Your right you are going to get in on you, my hands are pretty much crystalized from paint thinner and carb cleaner anyway. For new factory glued tires, the bake method does work great, and is the cleanest no doubt. All boiling ever got me was aggravation, seemed to take forever since you kind of need to watch the pot, and haif the time you take them out get half way around then have to reboil. Still managed to rip beads and just takes forever. I guess everyone has their fav method.

I'm hearing ya, and well said. I can see your method working with minimal effort but still, Isocianates and needless fumes.

i have melted rc18t tires with pure acetone before now i boil or bake only

Okay, true, but what happens when your mom uses the oven often, and you don't want the house to smell like rubber? :lol:

use a bbq lol, or boil with a camp stove outside

I have a propane grill, could I put it in a pot, put a lid over it, and set it aflame?

only for boilling, no water and it would just melt

True... so how would I oven cook it outside?

not easily, wow i feel like i'm setting myself up for a lawsuit

The day will come when your older and have your own place and you can do what ever you want. Until then, Mom rules.

:lol:

I already know that, unfortunately...

Oh boy, when I work for google, making 500 thousand a year, I'll have a nice mansion, with half the house for RC, only, with monkeys working on some of the trucks...

:lol::lol::lol:

Eeeh, I can dream can't I? :party:

Gah so much nicer than a 10 minute squirrel video. Funny but informative!

Linc has tried, the monkeys find it too blue collar. They will butler for you but you need a mad stash of bananas. You learn to live with the poo throwing.

Hey, I'll just invest some of that 500k a year for a basement full of bananas, and a target for poo aiming! :rofl:

"MA!!!.... THE MEAT LOAF!!!!!.... WE WANT IT!!!!.... ****!!!!!"

LMFAO!!!!...hahaha

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Um that's from a movie!

Uhhhh oh yeah, WEDDING CRASHERS!!! :rofl:

Best part of that movie, hands down! Love it!

Should we clean the dirt and grime off the tires and rims before baking... if they are "used"? Or will that just get them wet and cause more problems? Just how strong is the smell, and does it last very long?

I've only boiled tires, but I'm baking them next time! I hate boiling, always get burned somehow, and it takes forever.

OR, to get tires off the rim, you can always send them to me and I'll run them on my ERBE. That truck seems to break glue like nothing! HA!

Its be nice to clean them before you start the process but I guess you could do it after if your in a rush(i've seen it done on camping stoves at tracks). The smell isn't bad I just open the windows before I start the process and I have a can of oust in case.:lol:
