Here's a few on how to get it out:


Here's an article on putting it back in the new tire:

Thanks, I had found those pages already and was trying that but just could not get it to work<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_angry.gif" alt="Angry"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_disapprove.gif" alt="Disapprove"> So I went back out today and messed with it again. Came right on out<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool"> SO get it all together, fill up the other tire and it leaks<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_disapprove.gif" alt="Disapprove"> So, rip it all apart and throw another tire on. No problems anymore<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool"> It was way easier than it looked.

the 2 piece run flats are so much easier to get out. the rubber ones can be a pita, we usually use a ratchet strap and a couple of guys with a pry bar.

Totally agree, the 2 piece mag run flats are easier to get out. However getting them to balance can be a nightmare, the rubber ones seem to balance much better.
