I want to check the balance of my wheels without the tires and foams. I had to use 1 1/2 oz to get one of my tires to balance and down to only an 1/8 oz on other wheels.
Started with the heavy wheel. Beadlocks came off easy and tire flexes off the locking slot ok. Looking at the foam around the edges, lifting the tire side for visability, I see a void in the foam about 6mm dia and 25mm deep.
Now how do I get the foam and tire to slide off the wheel without damaging components? Best option I envision is using a piece of 4" pvc for the wheel and some 6" pvc for the tire. Setup in a press (trip to Harbor Freight $20) and guide the foam over the beadlocks as I press the wheel out. I don't see this working for re-assembly though.
Come on all you experts what is your solution to remove and replace tires and foams.
