Yeah thats what I was trying to say. The mud in the tyre has properly balanced it. But I still should get it cleaned out though.

Just used a stick off the ground to clean the rim bead and the tyre bead then go the pump out.
I placed the wheel across a rut with the good bead facing down into the ground and then stood on the wheel. This forced the rim to push down and with the lower bead in place the tyre was forced up into the rim edge and we just pumped air into it until it held then got off and let the pump do the work. I poured some water into the bead when it wad holding air to make sure it was not leaking but simple stuff mate. Do be shy.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Hahaha i thought u used the mud to make a seal between the bead and the rim lol at work we have this donut thing made of solid rubber to take up the gap on cheep wheels that are moulded with the beads close to each other. But before we had that tool we used to do that trick aswell as " persuade " the rim to meet the tyre on 1 side. I might have to get 1 of those donuts and some tyre lube to keep as part as my recovery gear hey..
I must be honest Darren and please forgive me but I thought there seemed to be a lot of mucking about for not much????
But then I had a good think about it and thought yes I was wrong and you were right as it was a front the risk of damage was much greater to the rim and tyre.
I did the rear in exactly the same spot and just drove straight out but the affect to the wheel was not the same.
The one thing about recoveries is to never dismiss someones thoughts on the matter as this proved my ideas were wrong and if it was my car and I was one of those bozzo's that would not take advice it could have done much damage.
I picked up a couple of great tips from you that day from just standing back and watching.
My mates I 4wd with are all open to others suggestions which makes going bush with them a pleasure as there are no hereo's.
Cheers mate.
