Before you begin, gather the necessary tools and materials. You will need a wrench or socket set to remove the old wheel, a tire lever (optional but helpful), a tire sealant (for minor punctures), and the new 15x5.00-6” tubeless tire. Also, have a valve core removal tool and a source of compressed air readily available.

First, remove the old wheel from the barrow. This typically involves loosening and removing a nut or bolt that secures the wheel to the axle. Once the nut or bolt is removed, carefully slide the old wheel off the axle.

Next, clean the rim thoroughly to remove any dirt, debris, or rust. This will help ensure a proper seal between the tire and the rim. Inspect the rim for any damage, such as cracks or dents, and replace the rim if necessary.

Now, install the new tubeless tire onto the rim. This may require some effort, especially if the tire is tight-fitting. Use tire levers to help pry the tire onto the rim, being careful not to damage the tire or the rim. Ensure that the tire is properly seated on the rim, with the bead fully engaged.

Finally, inflate the tire to the recommended pressure, as indicated on the tire sidewall. Use a tire gauge to accurately measure the pressure. Check for any leaks around the bead of the tire. If there are any leaks, deflate the tire and try again, making sure the tire is properly seated on the rim. If after several attempts, the tire continues to leak, you may need to apply a tire sealant to the bead. Once inflated correctly, reattach the wheel to the barrow axle using the nut or bolt that you removed earlier. Tighten the nut or bolt securely.

With these steps completed, your fishing barrow is now equipped with a new 15x5.00-6” tubeless tire, ready to tackle any terrain. Remember to always check your tire pressure before each fishing trip.
