:eek: This is in regard to the "Tire installation" thread

I thought I would post it here since more people would see it in this section

Some people are some real tool sheds! All I can say is these people were awfully lucky!

Well there is common sense, and then there is stupidity. The guys in the video are prime example of stupidity with NO common sense.

Using a ratchet strap along with a "little" ether has worked for me many years, from farm equipment to automotive.

wonder what he's spraying in there, almost comes out like brake kleen or something. I've done the ether thing many times, usually if you spray too much it won't ignite with enough explosivesess to inflate the tire because the air mixture is too rich. especially when it's cold out. too bad the vid doesn't keep going....wonder if they got it seated...lol
