So.. i get how to remove the front but how do you raise it and hold it till you get the new one. The dealer told me if i bought the tire from him he would put the tire on the rim and balance it for free. Sice im a hillbilly i thought of putting straps on the handle bars and using a come along to raise it?Is there something besides a floorjack to lift the front end up?

I actually had to do this in the parkinglot outside the shop earlier this summer.
Bike on center stand, I loosened the calipers and the front wheel bolt.
I found some wooden blocks and set them on the ground where the forks would hit, lifted the bike with one hand and pulled the bolt with the other.
Out comes the wheel and I could gently set the forks down onto the wooden blocks.
