Ok so I tore my foams in my tires and they need replacing.... Now how do I go about getting the rubber tires unglued from the wheels?

Also any tips or tricks to keep the tires from ballooning up and ripping my foams?

Thanks for any help,

Put them in the oven at 350 for 10min, they will fall right off the wheels and the tires and wheels are reuseable.

The boiling method works ok but the acetone way is the best.

BTW the tires and wheels dont have to be submerged in the acetone
just the fumes will break down the glue in an enclosed container.

So I baked each tire for 8 minutes at 350 degrees... and wa la they all poped off with little effort...

and where can I get acetone?
