RalphFoll Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I've had a flat and installed a new tire and tube on the split rim. I have been trying for days to remount it on the hub with no luck. I'm to the point of buying a sledge hammer and see if I can force it on that way. But was hoping someone would point out a method that wouldn't destroy the wooden spokes.

RalphFoll Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I can't believe it took me this long to discover the rim was tapered and only went on in one direction. Well I'm a newby and learning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Eventually you will be able to do that whole job in 15 minutes. It just takes practice. In 400,000 miles I have replaced 5 sets of tires plus a few flats so 25 times I have replaced a tire, tube and flap. Almost painless now. I had a friend with 29 Olds, a great car. Attached is a picture of his Olds, one just like his Father owned and my Pontiac that my Grandfather bought new. I hope you enjoy your Oldsmobile as much as Ihave enjoyed my Pontiac.
