How to Mount a Tubeless Wheelbarrow Tire

Wheelbarrow tires are attached by an axle.

A wheelbarrow, which is often used in the garden, is a cart with one wheel that is attached to the front of the frame. The wheelbarrow tire can come with an inner tube full of air, or the tire can be solid rubber. If your tube tire goes flat, you can remove it and mount a tubeless tire. Changing the wheelbarrow tire is a simple process that requires only a wrench.

Things You'll Need

• Wrench

Instructions

1. Turn the wheelbarrow upside down and rest it on a flat surface. Slide the wheelbarrow's tire axle through the hole in the middle of the tubeless tire. Position the tire so the ends of the axle rest between the bolt attachment spots on the metal frame of the wheelbarrow.

2. Place one of the axle covers over one end of the axle, positioning it so the holes in the cover are over the two bolt holes in the wheelbarrow frame. Push one of the bolts up through the first bolt hole and screw a nut over the end of the bolt. Tighten the nut with a wrench.

3. Push the second bolt up through the second bolt hole. Tighten the nut on the end of the bolt, then tighten it all the way with a wrench.

4. Place the axle cover over the end of the axle on the other side of the wheelbarrow frame. Push the two bolts up through the holes in the frame and axle cover. Screw on the nuts and tighten them with a wrench.
