Just finished boiling to save my de wheels. Had an old crock pot that worked out perfect. Boiled water first in tea pot then poured into crock pot. Removed foams and most of tire before starting. Left in pot for over an hour (probably more like 1.5) and the rubber came off great. Put back in water if rubber is stubborn and try again in 30 minutes. Wheels look great and are ready for new tires and foams.
