Q: I ordered replacement band saw tires but don't know how to stretch them onto the wheels. Can you help?
Carol Reed: No, I probably don't live close enough to you to run over and help. Seriously, you should have gotten some instruction when you received the new tires. If you are old enough to remember how automobile tires used to be changed before tire changer machines, you will have a picture in your mind. If you are a younger whippersnapper, then look for help from a woodworking buddy. This will take more than two hands and a few flat bars to stretch the new tire onto the wheel.
