Here is a picure of the bead breaker I use for Kitfox Wheels
http://www.cfisher.com/kingfox.html
I can change tires in a few minutes once off the plane.
Taking off the plane should just take you a few minutes as well.

any ATV shop can take it off, fix it and have it back on in a few minutes for a
few bucks. I change mine by pulling the valve stem. then putting the edge of
the tire under the car tire and pulling forward. It will pop it right off, just
don't stick it under too far or you can bend the rim.
Harbor freight has what you need for a few bucks too
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=34552
you will need the ATV adapter for 3.99

Off topic?
The other day, I received an order from John and Debra at Kitfox aircraft . Included
with the order was an 2 oz. package of Kar's Salted Nuts (See photo).
Are they trying to tell me something?
Anyway, I'm installing brakes on the right side and will consume the nuts, with
a beer, when the job is done....

Yes. They are trying to tell you that they sometimes snack while

Yup they have the tools.
The Redneck version in my opinion would not work.
You need to get in an pry the bead past the bead lock........ it not that easy
without the right tools.

Off topic?
The other day, I received an order from John and Debra at Kitfox
aircraft . Included with the order was an 2 oz. package of Kar's Salted
Nuts (See photo).
Are they trying to tell me something?
Anyway, I'm installing brakes on the right side and will consume the
nuts, with a beer, when the job is done....

| Subject: | Re: Oil / Oil filter recomendation for 912UL |
I used AV-9 for a while. I switched to Pennzoil Motorcycl Motor oil
because, as I recall, Rotax had done some research on foaming of the various
oils and had not to that point tested the AV-9. I think I remember that the
new dipstick introduced at that time (that would give a time frame in the
Service Letters), which put the full mark a bit higher on the stick, was a
result of the foaming issue. It seems that the folks trying to have us all
live forever found something that would take a minute or two off our lives
in the antifoaming additives and made it a no no. Without the additive,
Rotax got a bit anxious and went over the recommended list again. I know of
no current info.

| Subject: | Re: Removing a wheel to fix a tire? |
Pete, I have broken the bead several times by putting the wheel and tire on
the ground over a patch of old carpet and driving the front tire of my truck
onto it. It helps to have a guide man - my wife, in my case. It takes a
while and be careful you don't cut your truck tire or bend the ATV rim. I
never did, but was careful. I did once try one of the small tire changing
units from Harbor Freight and damaged the rim where the grease cup
attatches. I fixed it with a lathe.
