XZL s and that big rubber donut thing.

Posted by Bruce on Saturday, May 06, 2006 at 7:28PM :

Got some XZLs today . All are dismounted but one has a huchinson run flat left inside, This is the big heavy rubber donut that is somewhat larger than the 16 inch rim hole in the tire. There must be a simple trick to taking these out. Any ideas ?
And a big thanks to Marty for picking the tires up and trucking them from Kalama to Van.

All I need now is all the other parts to get this darn project rolling.

Take care

Bruce
