But it just occurred to me a tire iron would probably also work and since folks are probably needing to borrow the scissor jack if an off base repair is needed, you can probably find a tire iron as well.

One of the big things that stopped me was the fact that then I would not know the cause of the failure or how bad it was. In my case it may have worked. Also, I didn't have the ability to roll the tire to distribute it easily...unless i taxied the plane around for a while. The tube held air for about 5-10 minutes before deflating. I just figure the real prudent thing to do is never depart with a known issue. If you fix it or even just do a field fix that you know will work, you can leave feeling much better about it.

I've serviced wheels as part of annual this past weekend. I'd not balanced the wheels in the past and all three required balancing. One less mystery causing occasional shimmy during landings. I was unable to split the wheels to rotate main tires. Tim mentioned using a bead breaker but I don't recall using one last time when I was able to get the two sides apart. What do others do to split their wheels? Cheers, Jay N433RV - it's not painted but it flies!

It just keeps getting better and better (tongue in cheek). I believe I saw a post that you stated your insurance co, (AIG?) was going to cover your engine and prop inspection etc. Am I correct? It may have been someone else? My insurance broker here in Ontario which is underwritten by AIG Canada said there was no basis for a claim. However if AIG is covering things in the US, then they should also do it here. Can you give me any details so I have some ammo to attempt negotiate with my broker? It would be nice if the insurance companies would go after MT for damages, as I figure as individuals we have little chance of succeeding. Anyway any info is greatly appreciated.

Standing on the tire might work but if they're relly stuck, (and I hate this but it works) insert a large screwdriver between the tire bead and the wheel rim. Pry towards the tire or you might pry a chunk out of the wheel rim. I also have a large vise that I can put the tire in to squeeze the beads together. Whatever works for you.
