Definitely not lambert
I’ve changed a few trailer tyres with a jack and a couple of crow bars.

I use a bead blaster for tractor tyres. It's like a big air compressor tank with a 2 inch outlet. You charge it up to 80psi, hold it against the rim and open the tap. Boom! The tyre is seated.

Yes it is a problem and I was tempted to use an alternative of the same type of thing but smaller - trouble was I could not get a reliable guide to what weight of balls to use.
Do it right - use Hammerite
When the blue light is flashing I am kidding.

What am I thinking!

It must be possible to get them through the valve stem - all vintage-car tyres are tubed!


Hmmmm I shall have to look into this further...

You can get small beads to feed through the valve.( Can't remember where from). I use plastic BBs in mine, About 240 grams per tyre as mine are fattys. Type balance beads in poo tube and a lot of answers come up.
It's been fettled just a tad.
