Any helpful suggestions you have learned by doing it by trial and error?

if you are at the bike shop, just have them do it for a few bucks. You don't want to pinch the line and have to buy another tube. Good Luck

I went to harbor frieght yesterday
picked up 2 of the tubes
item #38354 (under 4 bucks each i think)
3.5" / 4"
They fit perfectly
You need tire irons to pop the tire off one side of the rim
the trick in putting it back on is to use lots of lube!!!
I used some aerosol white lithium grease i had
It was easy with the lube
Impossible without

It is possible. It took me about an hour with a couple of screwdrivers and a couple of vise grips. Thanks for the lube tip though Don! Gonna have to do it that way next time for sure.

The Best lube for Tires is Dishwashing liquid . Use a patch kit from the bikeshop and save some money and learn how for road trips in Baja .
