I don't believe it. Wasn't even half way through my popcorn and he was done. Yes he is experienced but it just goes to show us dumbies how easy the job can be. The one item of interest is the bead buddy. This should be a "Sticky" for all to use.
A truly amazing find and well worth watching.

Great info!

I just had to fix a flat on my GZ. I will add that at least on my rear tire (a Kenda Challenger), unseating the bead was not something that could be done by hand, or even by standing on the tire. I used an old 4 wheeling trick of setting a jack on the side of the tire near the bead a jacking under the bumper to unseat the bead. Once I got it off in one spot, just walking around the rim on the tire got the rest down into the "dish".
