URGENT WARNING ON A TYRE INFLATION METHOD...

Same link HERE
Mick has stated in the first line of that blog that there is a risk involved. I was there at his third video and yes I was standing back a bit lol..

However I do take note of your mention of the brass valve sleeves and will remember that next time, thanks.....

Cheers
Alan

Did you have the valve itself removed?
regards

Thanks for the warning Robert. It’s not a problem I’ve encountered but one to be mindful of. I will update the blog with your findings as a warning as well. As I’ve always maintained, this is not a method I endorse for everyday use. It’s simply a remedy for use in difficult or trying circumstances such as travel in remote areas out bush. There are too many variables that can cause an issue as the one you’ve just mentioned. I reckon I could get away with a lot less gas on some occasions but again, it’s a method I use sparingly and as a last resort.

I’m finding that the dual compressors and the big tank enable me to reseat most tyres these days but there are still the stubborn ones and they’re usually the thick side walled tyres such as the toyos.

Thanks again.

Nice shooting Tex.

sorry for silly coment. As a sort of tyre fitter myself i understand where you are coming from. thank you for the warning, very much apprieciated.

a little tip, if you can pull the wheel off, drop the wheel/ rim from about 6 inches off ground witth compressor hooked up, what that does is pusshes tyre onto rim.

there a l;ittle tipps and tricks out there. some have better ones, but that works for me.

thanks again forthe warning.
