As for the order of the washers, we have an initial locking washer, a small flat washer, and a third split washer.

Removing the Old 10×2.125 Tyre

I remove the small cap from the inner tube and ensure there’s no air left in the tyre.

Next, I apply a little soapy water around the rear wheel. This significantly eases the disassembly process as the tyre slides more easily.

I push the lower part of the tyre into the rim, causing the opposite side to come out slightly.
