i've done it...on a 35 bfg on a 16.5 rim. havne't done it on a 15 or 16" rim. it was quite fun...we should try it.

starting fluid and a match...and have air ready after you hear it seat. we singed our arms, and had a ring of singedness on our faces but we got all 4 done(my buddy was selling one of his trucks and wanted to get rid of the crappy tires and all the tire places were closed). took a can and a half of starting fluid to do it.

thought i would check on the board...back to my paper.

piperat and 86r    read my post again,  the socket didnt come off ,they broke,    the last time with the snapon impact socket when we hit the starter it locked the motor, when the bar hit the right frame,   

as in the starter wouldnt turn the motor cause the socket and breaker bar on the bolt didnt move

i think you may have used a little too much starting fluid, 

ive done it lots of times on bigrig tires,  push the tire in a bit so the starting fluid goes inside then spray a line out on the tread to light,  hit with a lighter and jump back,  like he said have air ready to go in,  better to use not enough and have to do it again than use toomuch and be like michaeljackson and get your hair fried off

glen what side of the frame did you put the bar on.

 when doing an oil pan gasket use some sewing thread and tie it to the oil pan then bolt it up and cut out the thread.
