I've done this many times on a truck tire and mostly trailer tires. Always used ether though, not wd-40. Learned off my buddies farmer grandpa.

Its works real good on smaller tires that you usually have to tie a strap all the way around it to bead it. Ive done it before and works well.

OS,
Be sure to buy one with the "tree muncher" attachment then you can rent it out to " the bent noses of Jousey " for disposal of the odd piece of detrius (corpse to you and me ) :banana:

Hmm nothing really has changed in my day JNR school was where I learned to pick padlocks & doors locks & "click & feel" & alter combination locks .
Victims of combination lock alteration had to pay a fee for the new number or for getting it open so they could get their bikes to go home LoL
