Well I doubt I could have accomplished this between heats at the track, but I tried the Xacto method. I trimmed away the side that was already the looser, back or front of the wheel. After I cut the one side free I was able to clean out the bead with the Dremel wire wheel, install the new foam and reglue the side I cut away. It took about an hour to cut and clean all four MT size wheels. With new foams in there, they are good as new, and ready to sit on bench because I never go to the track.

Thanks Chris for the Xacto tip. No boiling no baking no mess no wife problems! It's all good!
