Not much info to go on so I am going to make some assumptions. That is that you have hand brakes and multiple speeds so that you have several sprockets on the rear.

1. Take a pic or draw one on how the chain is run so that you can put it back the same way.
2. You will need to loosen the cable that operates the rear brakes to allow the jaws of the brakes to open all the way so that the tire will fit thru them.
3. Loosen the nuts on both ends of the rear axle.
4. Begin slipping the axle out of the slots in the frame and as you do that you will have to remove the chain from the sprockets. While doing that notice that the chain is on the inside of the frame so that when you are ready to replace the rear wheel, you will need to put the chain on the sprocket BEFORE you position the wheel in the frame and the axle in the slots on each side.

If you have another bike similar or a digital camera, the other bike or a good photo will be very helpful when putting the chain back on and the wheel in place.

Tools needed- appropriate wrenches- a small and medium crescent wrench would be ideal as you may have metric size nuts and not have the correct open wrenches.

Once the wheel is removed you will need to let ALL of the air from the tube to give the maximum flexibility to work with the tire. Use a medium blade screw driver to pry the tire over the edge of the rim. Once you have about 6 inches over the edge of the rim you can do the rest by hand. Now that the tire is half off do the same process for the other side of the tire.

How do I change back tire on a Toa Toa 50 cc scooter?

A single bolt with a cotter pin holds the rear wheel on the axle, covered with a plastic dust cap. Remove the cap, Remove the pin, then use a pry bar to hold the wheel in place while you undo the axle nut. Once removed, tap the end of the axle with a rubber mallet or use a piece of wood and a hammer until the wheel comes loose. Remove, use motorcycle tire tools to remove tire, replace tire, and remount wheel. Use a new cotter pin.

Riding metal rail and back tire popped

You need the unbolt the wheel from the frame; there are two visible bolts on either side of the wheel in the center of the spokes. When the wheel is loose enough remove the chain from the back gear and remove the tire off the rim. You can either patch up the tube inside the tire (and the puncture on the tire itself) or replace it.

Vibration from the back of sprinter , makes the whole vehicle bounce

This is most likely a faulty shock issue or bubble on a tire. Remove the tire and check it for a bulge on the tire indicating a weak spot and causing the vibration. If the tire checks out you will need to replace the shocks. Always replace them in pairs.

Change front tire on 97 honda accord SE

1. Put vehicle in park or in gear if a standard with the emergency brake on I would also put something behind the rear wheel.
2. With your spare tire there should be a tool to remove the nuts holding your tire on, grab that and crack all of the nuts loose, don't remove them yet just start them.
3. Take your jack out (should be with spare tire also) and set it up under your control arm on a flat spot. If not comfortable putting it there put it on the pinch weld (behind tire on frame of car under the door) and jack until the tire comes off the ground.
4. All your nuts are started so now you can remove them and install your spare tire.
5. Tighten nuts as tight as you can
6. Lower vehicle back down and retighten nuts again to make sure they are tight.
7. Take it to a shop, get tire repaired or replaced and have them install it back on for you.

Good Luck

I have a cub cadet rzt50 mower...Need to replace a tire

There is a thru bolt, and inside and outside bushing, and center sleeve. Remove those to remove the wheel. Obviously support the frame on a jack. Most tires can be removed using a slight soapy solution and 2 smooth screwdrivers. Replacement, use a soapy solution around the bead, and using only hand pressure put the tire back on. Use a cinch strap around the center of the tire to help keep the tire beads against the rim and air it back up.

Air is leaking from spoke how do i stop this

Your inner tube is leaking air. Remove the wheel and remove the tire on one side only (one bead over the rim edge) to allow access to the inner tube. remove the tube and the tire the rest of the way. Basic tire removing tools are neccesary such as tire spoons and rim protectors. check the rim for sharp points as well as any debris that might have punctured the tire. Check the inside of the tire very carefully as well. If somthing punctured the tire it might be still sticking out on the inside - a potential hazard to your fingers. Patch the tube or, better yet, replace it - a much more dependable solution. Install one bead of the tire back on and then the tube. Infate and deflate the tube with one side of the tire off the rim to ensure proper fit and arrangement of the tube inside the tire. Reinstall the tire and the wheel back into the bike following manufacturers recommended procedures and torques found in a service manual.

Wheel broke of my Power Chair

I assume you are referring to the caster tire, not the drive tire. You will need to check to see if the rim is a split-rim or a solid rim. A split-rim will have 4 or more bolts holding the two halves of the rim together. If you have flat-free tires i.e., foam-filled solid tires, evidenced by the lack of a valve stem which is used to inflate non-flat-free tires (pneumatic), you would remove the wheel from the caster by rermoving the center bolt acting as the axle. Then remove the bolts holding the rims together. Reposition tire on top of one of the rim halves, then place the other rim half on top so that the bolt holes in the top one line up with the holes in the bottom one. You need to buy a couple of bolts that are about 3/4 in or more longer than the bolts that you removed, as you now must press the two halves back together and the stock bolts probably won't reach through. Put the two longer bolts in opposite of each other in two holes and tighten down. When the rims are pressed together, then put the stock bolts in, remove the two longer ones and replace with stock bolts. Place wheel back on the caster. If you have pneumatic tires (requiring air), make sure to always deflate the tire completely before attempting to loosen the bolts holding the rim-halves together. The same process is used for drive tire replacement. If the rims are not split rims, then it is easiest to buy an entire new wheel and tire as getting it back on is quite a chore requiring a press and lots of tequila! It's easy to break the rims. Good luck.
