Now why didn't I think of thatNow if you had brought it Hemibee's Tire and Wheel service you would have gotten a balanced and clean wheel back. If some of my tire lube had gotten on the wheel it would have been cleaned off prior to balancing and the job would have been free. Granted the delivery charge may have been a bit expensive. . .

I used a small piece of 2x4 and a piece of board under the tire as a lever and my knee on the board to lift the wheel into place while I tried to get the axle in.
It was quite a struggle for an old fart working alone, but I managed it.
I put new tires on my H***a last fall and it was more or less the same kind of struggle. Front wheels are a snap compared to the rears.
