  To finally wrap this post up, yes, there were photos... it's just when it comes to Photobucket, my Samsung tablet has a dose of the stupids  :cuss  ... so it had to wait until we got to our home puter  :CB--

Nice photos.

My plan to get there was thwarted by the late arrival of my new tyres and only me to put them on...... well actually I did have some help ..... from my 8 yr old son.

Great vid Spanner :)
Did the cable ties do the trick?
Do you have another video showing the rest of the tyre change?

John

Thanks for sharing - I'll have to make the next one!!  Fortunately I did get the K7 out for a brief burble around Bargara & Bundaberg on the Saturday.

Cheers

I did try and video it but I don't hasve much computery skills when it comes to video editing etc.

Also I looked and some and the vids were out of focus, upside down, or just basically useless.   :||||

I will see if I can find the video I watched in relation to this.

In essence the answer is YES but with some reservation.

It was HARD to get the tyres on and off the wheel in the situation I was in ..... not the right tools, not a very good work space etc etc but will I do it aqgain next time ..... witht he right tools ...?????   yeah I think so as I know what to do now and how long it will actually take.
