Thumbs up how i remove my tires

not rocket science here, all i do i put my wheels on my radiator leave them to get warm then spray the tire edge with wd40. leave it for a litte while then the glue should have cracked away from the wheel.
it works for me.

Just like to say the 'boiling' trick does not work with the new 'white' ae wheels.

Having no acetone just yet I needed some wheels for tommorrow so tried the boiling method, both front wheels are now distorted, the bearing seating area had changed with the bearings needing to be heavily forced in, and the rear wheels distorted around the middle.

Highly do not reccomend this method, and shall be sourcing acetone again.

my indoor tyres that I glue on with 4 spots come off easily after a few minutes of boiling away. no hard work there.

all my hpi 2.2wheels get boiled regularly some have had 5/6 wheels on em ive found useing PROPPER zap ca means you get a decent glued tyre and it doesnt take much boiling either.

what i do is:

deep side frying pan
stick atleast two wheels in and SQUEEZE the air out and suck the water in
leave it to propperly start boiling
the get a wheel out chuck a teatowel on it and with the end of a wooden spoon i massage the tyre off the rim
its worked for me everytime
