before breakfast: watched an Abomb79 video about extracting broken bolts after breakfast: one rear tire on the riding mower has sun rot. Took the wheel off - and sheared off a rusted bolt gah half done drilling it out, but pausing - maybe time fo oxy torch? or welding trick?

3/ anyway, right now I'm leaning towards * ordering a good extractor set for next time * MIG welding on a washer and nut to the stub * hitting axle with the oxy torch maybe take a long lunch and work on that

6/ anyway, feeling pretty good * old tire off wheel * new tire on wheel * broken bolt removed only task left is seating the bead on the rim, which is going to be a bit of a bitch ; tire is squashed from storage and rim is like 4" away from seating

7/ yep, I know I know * ratchet strap * air bead blaster * starting fluid I've tried all 3, several times each, on this one. https://twitter.com/camoout/status/1260999356435611648 …

8/ Problem in this case (not insurmountable; I'll get it done) is that the two beads are pushed very far in away from the rim, and cranking down ratchet strap pushes beads closer together, not out towards rim

maybe ( i know, you have already thought of this ) heat the tire up in order to allow the rubber to relax back into something like its original shadow?
