I just bought a 1960 panel van which has been lowed in the back end. I know this may sound like a silly question but is there any special trick involved in removing the rear tires? There doesn't seem to be enough room to take them out?

Thanks Vito.

you need to use a friend you trust and a long bar. pry the (I dont know the real name for it) "torsion arm" or control arm what ever you call it while your friend removes the tire.
Hope that helps it works for me.

Im going to put air adjustable shocks on the rear of my 67 bus just to make removing the rear tyres easier, Just pump them up to lower the wheels down!
