Any tips on how to make the holes line up on the 2 wheel halves when putting big tires on new wheels?
We'll be installing Bushwheels on the aircraft. Just trying to put the tires on the new wheels now...
Thanks in advance

I may be wrong but that probably won't stop me from arguing about it.courierguy liked this post
All thread is your friend, just crank it down then replace one at a time with the bolts.
Remember, These are the Good old Days!
Stick a couple long Phillips screwdrivers thru bolt holes to align things before snugging up Steve’s nifty tool
2 long pieces of 1/4” all-thread

I like to put about 1 psi in the tire. The inner hole will expand and allow the rim to fit in easy. Really makes a difference when trying to mount up a set for a Beaver.

I have the same tool as Steve Pierce in my box. Very nice.
Are you guys using talc powder when installing Bushwheels (31’s)? Have heard not to with Bushwheels.
Thanks

Talc is used so the tube slides inside a tire and centers up and reduces the risk of getting folds in the tube when air is added. I have seen no reason to use talc when installing Bushwheels. I do apply electrical tape to the back side of the wheel where the valve stem exits and then squirt black silicone in the hole to keep sand and grit out of the inside of the wheel.
Use of Talc or soapy water is recommended on their site. Tailwheels is where it really helps. I have it on the shelf so I tend to just make a mess with it when working with tires. Just makes things slide better in general.

I remember reading something somewhere about not using baby power, but, baby power can be/is made of different ingredients.
