I removed the 4-19 front tire (3 rib) from the rim, sanded and painted the rim and now I want to put the tire back with a new tube.
What's the right way to do this? I mounted one bead from the side that has the valve stem hole in it (outward facing side of rim). Now I'm trying to stuff the tube in there and pull the valve stem thru the hole before putting a little air in to get the wrinkles out and them mount the other bead.
I'm having a heck of a time maneuvering the tube to get the valve thru the hole in the rim. The rim and tire are so skinny (3in rim?) it hard to get your hand in there but not impossible.
I've changed the big rear tires with no problem but this thing is giving me grief. Any suggestions, or am I using the wrong procedure? It's an OEM Ford 8N rim.
