2003 Nissan Sentra Gets New Tires -Fixing it Forward

We are inching ever closer to the conclusion of Jerry Hall’s 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R. In this episode we install the tires. I know, it’s not terribly exciting, but it’s made the best overall improvement in the way the vehicle handles and drives. There’s a test drive in the video to prove it.

Here’s a link to the previous video in the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95Ys-c2x9Qc

  1. You use a lot of tyre paste. It's not wrong, but it makes the tyre a little messy. Use a really tiny amount, you only need a slight film for it to work just as well as how much you used there. Not saying it's wrong or anything, but I use a little less, and it looks cleaner. Big up on cleaning the rim, I've seen some dedicated tyre shops just leave it as it is, chuck a tyre on it and send it down the road. Also, using hammer-on weights on alloys, I personally do not like that. I use stick-ons for any alloy as the hammer-on weights tend to marr the surface and beating on the alloy in cases where the weight doesn't go on after two or three whacks can crack it. Plus they look ugly, whereas on steels, they're usually hidden by the clip-on wheel trim. Where I work, at the very least, we only use hammer-on weights on steel wheels and anything else gets stick-ons.

    However, I am talking as someone who has no where near as much experience as you, but this is from my (two-ish years) of experience.

    Nothing like the smell of new tyres and the nice, supple feel of the tyres compared to the circular bricks that used be there! 😛

  2. when the bottom bead dosent break you can use the bar or thing that looks like a disc to the right. you just go below the tire and pull up as your rotating the tire. saves a lot of time instead of taking the tire off the machine and breaking it how you did

  3. hey eric i love the series of fix it forward! – when i am done spending money on my car (teens first car) i will be donating some money to help!

    i think this is an awesome cause!

  4. Back when I work at good year we have a pedal that pushes a gush of air to set the bead. I think only some machine have that. Now I work at a factory… =(

  5. Chain,pump,rack,oil,plugs,sensors,tires,brakes,doors,valve,TLC and more. Roughly costing ~$5,000 in that area for a normal person. KBB says the car is worth ~$2,000. Mike and Ed would say, 'You've given new life to a car that would have otherwise met the crusher'. I admire your effort. That Sentra should exceed the 305,000 miles of Jerry's last car.

  6. I have a Nissan Sentra B15 2006 Engine 4 cilinder 1.8. I put on 2 new cooper tires and now all the plastic cracks when i go on the roads in El Salvador.. Shitty roads. how can i fix that?

  7. There is no better feeling than the test drive after any fix…only a mechanic can get this excited..I sound exactly the same after every fix. Great videos, Eric. Always a pleasure watching your vids.

  8. I've seen those chrome sleeves cause leaks because of the weight of them. If people want new stems, I toss them in the trash.

  9. With all this work done to this car, pls comment on whether it a worth it economically to do this. What would all of this work cost if a. I had it done in a shop or b. just parts and I did it myself (except for tires, not a normal diy).

  10. You gotta use the roloc disc while using the tire machine to spin the wheel for you. Way easier than taking it off and doing it on the ground

  11. instead of taking the tire back off to complete breaking the bead with the bead breaker just twist instead of pulling straight up on the tire it works flawlessly

  12. Wow so that's how tire machines are supposed to sound, lol.

    I've had a chinese knockoff machine for the past 11 years. It's noisy and crude, but does the job. Boy, I could use that little roller you have there! Sometimes I fight with certain sized tires. Just yesterday I couldn't even dismount a pair of aftermarket 20"wheels for a Chevy pickup – I couldn't get that super-wide tire into the drop-center! Another set of rollers would've helped there.

    That tilt option is a nice feature too. Mine lacks that. Got to get a plastic guard for my bead breaker like that one has – mine has never had one. Got to be very careful with it. Overall it's been pretty reliable for a chinese unit. Broke a few things over the years, but not as many as you'd think. I'm on my second balancer though – the first one developed a strange issue where the display and buttons would totally freeze up below 45° out in my barn. Got 5 years out of it. It still worked if you hit the display with a heat gun first, so I was able to get a couple hundred for it on Craigslist, and bought a new WB-41 from Greg Smith Equipment. So far, on year 5 now, that one has been flawless.

    Yep – always fill with the core out of the stem – it's 10x faster. 🙂

  13. Hey Eric, just some mounting tips from a guy that did it for years. Only single break the front side and doubt(or triple) break the back side of the rim. This usually prevents having to remove the rim and re-breaking the backside. Some low-pro's and rim styles still may have to be re done but should save you some time.

    Secondly I know they are older alloys but outside clamp the rims. It prevents the scratches and pits from inside clamping

    Otherwise I love what you're doing. Keep it up.
