In this week's exciting episode, we're going old school and changing a zero turn mower tire with hand tools. Sure these cute little bite-sized tires look innocent enough, but they can really put up a fight, especially if they sit for a while before being used and take on a weird shape. but fear not, our friendly neighborhood mechanic was not going to let this tiny little tire win this battle. Sit back and enjoy the struggle of man vs. machine on this "simple" tire change on a zero turn mower wheel.

Tools used in this repair:
-2 large flat screwdrivers (not to be used as pry bars ahhaha). I prefer to use the ones with out the warning label on the handle as I don't want to misuse anything.
-10 inch vice grips with a slight modification to the jaws as seen in pic.
-A securely mounted bench vice. (You could also use a steel dowel rod driven into the dirt and another pair of vice grips holding the little rim down through the spindle hole.
-Spray bottle of soapy water. (Ascot tire leak detector is my soapy water solution and can be found here https://rubber-inc.com/ascot-concentrate-air-leak-detector-1-qt-/p4145/).

-Tire valve core remover tool
-Valve stem installer tool.
-Lock on tire valve inflator.
