impacsys Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I am amazed with the technology used in the 1926 Chryslers. Hydraulic brakes, efficient motors and transsimions, rear end, etc, but am more amazed with the very poor tire/rim mounting.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>How in the F do you mount the tire on the rims? I got the tire off (pain in the A), installed new tube and the rubber liner thing. Now the CS tire won’t mount….<o:p> </o:p>Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Do you have a photo of the rim? Is it the expansion type and are you using the correct tool to expand/contract it? A lot of companies were using the same rim. Chrysler engineering was way ahead of most makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Looks like you may need a rim spreader for that one. Looks like this...Antique Split Rim Spreader from the Universal Rim Tool Company | eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BobD735 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Thanks Keiser,I have one of those rim spreaders, but never had the operating instructions for operating it.Your instruction sheet could possibly keep me from using all those bad words.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 keiser, thx! i'll get part from ebay and let ya know how it works. the pic your sent, is that your spreader?No, that is not mine. I do have two of them, but both have issues with breaks in them. Otherwise, I would simply send one to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impacsys Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 guys, i got it done by using 2 tie downs mounted cross way. i tightened each back and forth until the rim was small enough to insert in tire. it worked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
