After taking of the tire it's time to fit the new rim.

The reason for the new rim as you can see on the video is the crack in the old rim.

So the first thing to do is loosen the spokes. As I made my way around the rim the spokes were harder to loosen as the pressure was released so it was necessary to use multi-grips, vice grips and even a clamp to hold the spoke still while turning the spoke nipple. This was probably a sign to get new spokes and nipples, but we have a budget here.

This video is part 2 of 3 - fitting the new rim.
