I have all of the split clamp rings removed and the side rings, but I'm having quite the time removing the tire from the rim on the other side. Does anyone have a special lube ( shop manual mentions neutral vegetable soap to mount the tires) or just spray with WD40 and let soak?
Original rubber is still pretty good so I don't want to cut them off perfect for shows not for cruising.

They still sell rubber lube at most parts stores, but you may have to ask for the commercial sales person to get it. Usually comes in a gallon jug, either straight or premix.

A strong soap solution works good. Delute some liquid soap about 2 to 1 with water.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

I used some of my wife's Murphys Oil Soap ( Hardwood floor cleaner) and off they came, perfect now off to the sand blaster.
