Re: Nose wheel tyre

[Ira Rampil <rampil@anesthes.sunysb.edu>]

I too, nipped the nosegear tube despite 2 hours of maximum cautious work at 
FlightCrafters.
I tried stiff paper stock, talc powder, etc.
I retreated to a tire shop also.
They took 5 minutes!  The technique was just partial inflation to keep the tube
out of the way,
and a nice jig to squeeze the wheel halves together despite the partial 
inflation.
NB: I told them it was for a go-kart since "everybody" knows they will not work
on aircraft components!
