Tire off rim- cannot get it seated

[Leroy Eckert]

You need a big blow tank to puff the tire up while airing it up. Do yourself a favor. http://www.duallyvalve.com.

I was unable to get a pressure gauge or air chuck on it. I put a U-turn adapter on it and inflated it a bit. Well, after sitting a couple of weeks, I noticed the tire was flat (I'm assuming the adapter leaked). Inside tire was low also. When I pulled her forward out of the shrubbery and nearer my shop compressor, the outer tire unseated from the rim. I tried putting a rope around it and cinching it down, but no luck. My compressor will not put out enough air at sufficient pressure to seat it. I am thinking I need to call a mobile truck tire service (can they replace the valve stem at the same time?) Any wisdom about getting it to seat before I do? I imagine taking it to them will save me a few bucks if I can swing it. John Churchill Sanibel FL "Large Marge" 1980 FC33
