- Removing the Tire and Tube from the Wheel
- text/0/25
- Let all remaining air out of
- the tire.
- Use a couple of tire levers
- if you have them, or the backs of
- some forks or spoons, (try to
- avoid using sharp screwdrivers) to
- remove the tire. Start by
- inserting one tire lever anywhere
- between the tire and the edge of
- the rim. Insert the lever just far
- enough to pry the edge of the tire
- over the edge of the rim.
-
- The inner tube inside is very
- easy to poke a hole into.

- After prying the edge of the
- tire over, insert one more tire
- lever about 4" from the first one
- and pry a little more tire over
- the edge of the rim. Take out this
- second lever and re-insert it
- another 4" away and pry over the
- edge of the tire again here. Soon
- the whole side of the tire will be
- loose enough to finish prying over
- by hand.
- Pull the inner tube out of
- the way and finish by prying the
- other side of the tire off the
- rim.
