Whats the best way of getting the tire off the rim?
#5
I'm gonna have to try that boiling method next time I need to remove some tires. You can also try cyanoacrylate de-bonder, but I hear it's a slow process.

A word of caution boys and girls, the oven method isn't the safest for you, especially if you are using the oven to cook your daily meals. Cyanoacrylate (superglue) when heated to those high temperatures, causes a chemical reaction, which produces CYANIDE gas. It's probably not enough to harm you, but over time, and if exposed to enough, who knows. Not exactly what you want to be breathing, or having your next pizza basting in !! If the baking option still seems to be the best for you, I would invest in a cheap electric oven that you could keep in your garage for stuff like this, or maybe even invest a few dollars less in a toaster oven. Just don't breathe the fumes, and don't cook your food in it.
