why do the back bead first??,loosen the tyre on the front(i.e. remove ring(s) and back bead will just pop off if rim maintianed well,but still its a duck each to their own,i like to get the fucker b4 the fucker gets me,respect to the 8 wheeled widowmaker!!TYREFIX UK!! :-)

@TheAdge31 we all know rims are never maintained that well though doing the front first means flipping it twice if no coming off easy.

FIX IT NOW FTW

the most dangerous wheels where the old suicide rim they used to lock together and were inflated on the vehicle cause there's no way to check if they locked together correctly.fortunately they stopped using these type of wheels in the late 70's

@donandroz these are quite similar as they have to be inflated after wheel nuts have been torqued and each one done in stages so not to put undue pressure on the other. don't know why the couldn't just fit longer studs

the company i worked for then lost a lad not long before this video was taken, the guy undid the wheel nuts without releasing the pressure in the tyres against the brick guard

. when the last nut came off both wheels hit him full force and killed him outright.

@urbtree well said mate, if you finish inflating it on the machine the lockring can't blow out anyway - who the fuck are osha  - sound like dickheads !

@ace586 How else are you supposed to prepare the tube for vulcanising a patch on it??

[sthomson987]

@surrynet there is a product on the market that is similar to a seat belt, its like a harness you place it over the tyre, inflate it and then take it off, if the lock ring does come off the harness stops it from flying off.

man people need to lay off the H&S bull, if u had to do it by the book u would be there for hours!!! no tyre fitter uses a bag it(never been opened) and ur well within ur right to bolt it on and blow it up. So these guys who are H&S mad do u leave it in the cage for 30-45 min after u blown it up like ur surpose to? no didnt think so
