let the pressure out of the tire.. unbolt the rim remove tire and reverse to install.

you have to take a ratchet strap and compress the runflat with it. Put it around the middle and tighten as much as possible and it should go in the tire.

In my opinion its best to leave them out.

You will need the ratchet strap, a couple spoons, some grease or soap water and a couple beers if you have em. you want to one end of the scrunched up runflat inside the tire, and using the spoons, some soap or grease, squeeze the other in there. its not easy with handtools, but can be done. give me a PM or reply here if you have any questions, i do this regularly.
