<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for the picture. Clever idea on the cut metal cap to screw it in. That was the part I was trying to wrap my head around on how you got it twisted in and out securely. Would be easy to make from some old items lying around. Kind of
reminds me of things in the <a href="https://www.farmshow.com/index.php">Farm Show</a> publication. I subscribed for a couple years. Lots of ingenuity like this that people come up with.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Picture attached. Mine attaches to the *inside* of the valve stem, core removed. The Slime branded tool attaches to the *outside* and the problem with that is the fact that the hole in the rim has to be large enough for the tool to fit
through. On the other hand, mine works even on rims where the hole is just barely larger than the valve stem (example, motorcycles). Admittedly, if you are installing tubes into formerly tubeless setups, the hole in the rim is going to be larger, and the
Slime tool works fine. The first one I built was just like the Slime tool, using a metal cap and attaching to the outside of the valve stem, and it was fine on wheelbarrow and lawnmower wheels but I had to modify it when I first did a motorcycle tube.<o:p></o:p></p>

Here is a YouTube of mounting a tire on a rim. <br>

[James Peck] What tire tools do you use and can you advise as to where you got them.<br>
<br>
[Cecil Bearden] In my case, I mount my own tires and it takes me a day to mount 2 tires with fluid in them because of my disabilities. However, If I had them mounted, it would be nearly $500, so I think I made a pretty good day's pay. Due to the difficulty
or expense of mounting tires, I will only buy new when replacing tires. Do it once and forget it.... As I said before, stay away from SPEEDWAY tires...They do not fit.. I spent over $250 in tubes and lost over $200 in alcohol fluid due to these tires...<br>
