Rebeading a tire
Well, this really has nothing to do with my SVX, but a buddy of mine drove his Jeep into a rather large rock and took the tire off the rim. Since its Sunday, no tire shop is open and we're trying to figure out how to put the tire back on the rim without any machine, can someone help out? We have an air compressor to fill the tire back up, but its off the bead. HELP!

yeah you need something to hold the rim in place and you need a pry bar to slide it over the bead..... its a HUGE PITA and it requires a pro touch to do it but it can be done.... i would recomend just waiting

I have seen people use a belt or rope to tie around the tires tread so that it will hold the bead close to the rim. It takes a lot of air to get it sealed. Good luck. No spare tire?

A couple pry bars, a big hammer, some lube (dish soap), and a lot of "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"-ing.

Is the tire still in place, just popped in???? My uncle used to use some starting fluid and a match to pop it on....
Do this at your own risk of course

SOme sick part of me really likes the above idea...
Well, we have a spare, but he managed to do this to both of his tires on the left side, one is destroyed along with the rim, the other is fine. Can you expand on this belt/rope method? Just tighten it around the treads and turn on the air compressor?
