Remove rear wheel.

Break rear tire bead.

Replace tube.

**Repairs on tubes aren't really authorized on tubes any more at most places (cause they make more selling you a new tube) and for the little bit of money for a new tube, I'd rather give the kids the old one to play with in the swimming pool, then patch it and put it back on the bike.

Rebalance.

Reinstall on bike.

At about $70-80 an hour labor.....yep....sounds right.

Are you mental, Scol?

They're standing there looking at it, because they just Super-glued the wing's tip to the deck.

If I did something like that, I'd stand there and admire that baby, all day long too........

Wonder how they stood it up like that long enough for the glue to dry...............?
