      • Insert the 19 mm socket wrench between the rubber tire and the metal frame.

      • Any rigid flat object will do for this step.

      • Carefully run the 19 mm socket wrench along the edge of the tire all the way around and bend the wrench down to pop the tire out of the rim.

      • When undoing the tire, be careful using the back of the wrench because the tool can damage the tire tube and or wheel frame.

      • Reach inside the tire and remove the tube from the metal frame.

      • Carefully feed the air valve through the hole in the rim before removing, or you could tear a larger hole in the tire.
