Considering how nasty mercaptan smells, I'm not suprized that flies
are attracted to it. I
tend to connect it to a death smell.

I don't understand how your tools work, I've just used tire spoons
but that was in the
tube days with wire spoked wheels.

What are you going to do with the propane tanks? Foundry shell?

i did the rear tire once already (had a flat) and BUSTED MY ASS doing
it. hopefully after seeing this video and getting proper tools i'll
be easier.

it's a two part video, the "bead buddy" appears at 4:19 below.

apparently they use these things to keep the bead below the rim when
starting putting the tire back on.

i "adopted" 4 miles of road near me here. some asshole threw 10
propane tanks off (just inside a farmer's field entrance). the dump
won't take 'em. i've been figuring i'd unscrew the brass valve (for
scrap) and maybe cut the tanks in two (w/ plasma cutter) and take that
to the scrap man. a lot of hassle but the scrap man won't take
propane tanks. any suggestions? i don't have the capability of
crushing 'em. i wanted to poke a bunch of holes in 'em (with bullets)
but i'm pretty sure the scrap man told me his loads will be rejected
even if a propane tank is all holey.

b.w.
