i have an old bike (1981) nothing fancy i wont be racing, driving cross contry, i just want cheap transportation. my question is is it ok to mount a front tire myself just using two large flathead screwdrivers? or is that going to cause problems? i do have access to a bead sealer, so thats not an issue.
I would use two or three dedicated tire irons instead of flat head screwdrivers. Don't want to take a chance of damaging the beads of the tire. And I have changed a few tires in my day. Worked for Firestone for over 5 years a lifetime ago. I have changed tires I can stand in. Use the proper tools for the job. Don't take a chance when it comes to your tires. Good Luck
Wipers are designed to wipe rain water and wash the windshield, if the windshield is loaded with snow or iced over that's a sprint complicated on the total factor that works the wipers, that's what I easily have a archives of ththat'sappening with your wipers, on a similar time as you swap them on which you will hear the motor working although no longer something is happening because of the fact of snow or ice develop on the windshield, adequate there's a bar/shaft or rod no longer specific what it particularly is called, it is going from one wiper to the different that bar is linked to one extra bar that runs to the motor, the shaft protruding of the motor has an arm approximately 2 long and has a ball on the authentic of it kinda like a trailer hitch ball yet with regard to the size of a small marble, the shaft that connects to the ball on the motor have have been given to have popopped off the ball,or despite broke basically like the ball or the shaft the ball is linked to, you by no skill recognized what form of motor vehicle you're starting to be, those ingredients have have been given to accesable one way or the different, the panel at the back of the hood with the louvers on it in case you will locate screws or clips strolling alongside the front of it from fender to fender which you will terrific see it with the hood up, if that may no longer detachable then you could desire to get right of entry to it from below the sprint, to any extent further no count if that's snowing or froze in the past you swap your wipers on pull them a ways from the windshield to make specific there no longer caught on the glass and do away with any snow in the past than you swap them on all that extra suitable rigidity will reason them to weaken and making a knocking noise wish this facilitates you dazzling success!
