Tyres
#24
Sometimes I have enjoyed changing Austin seven tyres, but recently I really struggled both removing the old tyres and fitting the new Longstones. Simply couldn't do it on my own, but luckily my wife Christine is game to help with anything, and we did it. But we struggled on all five tyres.

I always find it useful to have a length of wood to hand, maybe 18 inches of 2 x 2 and a heavyish hammer. And I like to get the wheels off the ground, lying the wheels on a couple of lengths of 4 x 4. Making sure the tyre is in the well, walk it on around the rim, helped by the occasional nudge with the timber and hammer.

Also to mention, don't use levers when fitting tyres, levers are just for removal. Using levers to fit tyres you will nip the tubes and ruin them.
