i read it somewhere that you could boil the CA off...does that help?

thanks!
You can boil them but this is just to save the wheels.... the tires normally get chewed up during the removal. Place in boiling water for 10 minutes, let it cool and then pull off! Some rims will soften if boiled. I have had some success with a set of carbon fibre loaded plastic rims I have.. boiled twice and they are still good. With normal rims I just throw them away!
