Re: Defective Lifters show up again

Re: Bead Buddy on Wire Wheel Tire/Tube Change?

Get yourself some Ru-Glyde tire mounting and rubber lubricant. Good stuff for mounting any tires I get mine at NAPA, last I got it was less than 20.00 bucks for a gallon. Worked great when I mounted my new tires on my wires. Jim
