"Too oily" to install new tires? That's a new one. I can kinda see why it would be so dirty so as to making installation a little more difficult, but they make a little thing called soap that will help with that.

huh?? wait too oily to remove the tire? are they talkingthe bead off the rim or the tire as a whole off the rim? eitherway, a tire remover takes the tire off the rim at what 1000 pounds of force? and to get the tire off the rim all you need is to get the tire above the lip on the remover...

who ever told you that crap is def. a noob in the tire removal area...
