Removing tire glue
I have 4 new tire on 4 new wheels and I broke one of the wheels. I want to salvage the loss by taking the good tire off the wheel. How do I remove the tire glue from the tire?

RE: Removing tire glue
Removing CA ??
Three methods, some ppl like one some like the other.
1) set your oven to about 200-degrees. place tires on a disposable paper cookie sheet, and bake the tires/rims for about 10 minutes or so checking often. The heat will make the CA brittle.
2) get some acetone and a sealed soak bucket. totally immerse the tires in the acetone and let sit overnight. the acetone disolves CA, but it does not soak into all the nooks and crannies so you will need to do a little prying and pulling
3) boiling them for 15 or 20 minutes. this can be problematic for larger tires in getting a big enough pot so the tire is totally immersed and doesn't superheat against the bottom.
I've heard of and had varied results with all of these methods.
