My roomate bought a boat w/trailer in 1991. He used it 3 times in that
year. It has been sitting in the garage unused since then. I finally
want it out of the garage. Of course the tires are flat and look dry
rotted. I took one of the wheels off and was suprised it took air
pressure. Removed the second and it won't pressurize. The seal between
the rim and the wheel is broken. What can I use to put around the outer
circumference of the tire to pull it in so it will seal and pressueize?
Besides taking it somewhere and having them do it.
Thanks for any info. Dan.


Try this at your own risk-
Remove wheel from trailer. A small 1 second squirt of ether-based 'starting
fluid' into the tire, lit with a BBQ lighter, usually creates a small
explosion just big enough to blow the tire onto the rim.

Wow, I'm surprised that Tom didn't know about this technique! Use a belt,
ho-hum.

That's my favorite tire trick, it works!
