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.

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

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.
