Tubeless Tyre 'O' Ring Bead Sealer

Dave, thanks for the tip about over-inflating the bike tube - I didn't try that before, only had it fairly soft. I can see that, together with lubrication, it might make it go a lot better. About having a piece of string or tape around the tube to help extract it, doesn't that enable air to leak out past the string? Also a question about using water: aren't you likely to get water inside the tyre if you use it to test before the bead has seated (bubbling stopped), and isn't that undesirable (especially with steel rims)?

Thought these were only for bike tyres.

I have used these in the past and they work a treat.

Another trick is to remove the valve and push the hose quick connect directly on the stem. You get huge air flow this way and I find you never have trouble seating the bead.

Ok occasionally I use a bike tube and hand soap normally I spray it with are o start and flick in a match while standing behind something robust or someone I don't like (usually some d3/4 owner whose spent the entire repair bitching about me not being able to do the repair with tyre pliers)

I used that trick the other day to bead up a recalcitrant bobcat tyre wow did that thing bead up quick and always remove what punctured the tyre before doing it I had a small stick leave the earths atmosphere so always stand in a safe position behind a d3/4 driver of in my case a bobcat operator.

Which one?
The bike tube or the Aerostart?
I have an old skidsteer too and I tried the ratchet strap to reseat but it did not work.
Took it to the tyre shop.
Next time I will try the bike tube or aerostart.

We used deodorant cause that's all we had and it worked but then the stick blew out (it was tiny and we couldn't find it initially ) then it went straight back down again and popped off the bead we plugged the hole but couldn't use the same trick to get it to bead again I think there was a lack of oxygen in the tyre after the first try. If the tipper truck had an air fitting on the air tank it would not have been a problem but the 12v compressor just did not have the volume in the end we used a strap and soapy water to get the job done.

I saw a bloke (VIDEO) fit a flat tyre back onto the rim without even taking the wheel off, just a spray of 'Start Ya Bastard' or the like into the gap, light a match and respray in the direction of the gap between tyre and rim.

You can try it if you like but not when I'm around please, or could be the order of the day.

Like me old mate used to say "Good night nurse, Good morning Jesus".
