one 3ft 2by8 to break the bead, soap and water, and 3 flat head screw drivers or 2 tire irons. we got a shop that will change ours for free but it takes me much less time to do it myself then drive there.

Re: Change tires myself?
1st time i did it....it literally took all afternoon. now i can do front or rear in 5-10 minutes and will never go to a dealer again for a stunt bike. my pref method is breaking the beed with a large crow bar. place it between rim and tire and jump. i then cut the tire using a hack saw and grinder. too easy.

i think it's harder to cut a tire then it is too just pry it off

WD40 works a ton better than soapy water

True! True! Kinda hard using your own bike if the wheel is off though. Great if another bike is around. HIGH FIVE!!!

It takes to time at all to pry the tire, especially if you don't really care about the wheel.
