2x3 block will not ruin the tube or the tire. Maybe you should start 180 degrees opposite of the valve stem as to not put any stress on the tube. I've used clamps and other methods, but this way works every time and in seconds for me. Just lay blocking on ground so you don't scuff the rim or hub in any way.

Thank you, I got it off and come to find I'm tubeless. I read in here somewhere about lining up some mark with valve stem?
My tire have 2(TWO) balancing beads in it...LOL I don't think they where doing much...

Any thoughts about the marks on tire?

Yellow dot is the light spot on the tire to be lined up with valve stem (heavy spot on rim) but if you have a red dot too then use that for alignment according to the pdf.
Leave the balancing beads on til after you mount and inflate the tire to see if they are still needed. Remove one at a time if not, then maybe save to relocate elsewhere on the rim to balance the new tire.

EDIT: not sure about balancing beads, but were you referring to rim weights?

No wheel wieghts, it HAD two tiny bearing like beads in it. I left them out.

Figers crossed I'll see how it is and go from there.

New (USED) tire has no marks yellow or red, we'll see. I've almost got it together.

Thanx for the replies...
