jaxenro Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Trying to fit the tires to the hubs on my Western Models 540K but the openings look a little small. Was thinking of soaking them in hot water to see if it softened them enough to fit them on but I don't want to damage them. Any suggestions?

Mike Kucaba Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Soak them in hot water. If you try to force them the tire will crack. OR shave down the rim diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxenro Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Really really hot water seemed to work. Did the first one but it cooled down too much before the second one Didn't seem to damage the tire any. The hubs look like machines aluminum don't want to mess with them too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
