I have a gas caddy with tires that have no tubes.  I let the air get too low and the tires have retracted away from the rims.  Does anyone know the trick to get them full of air again...  No matter how much I try I cannot get enough of a seal to pressurize the tires.

Thanks

Remove the valve core from the from the stem If it is a long stem use the air hose chuck with nothing in the chuck. Just jam the chuck onto the stem. With nothing to slow the air flow through the chuck you have a fighting chance to pop the bead back on. Use rubber cement or contact cement to seal the bead.
 
Press on the down bead to the extent possible. Lift up on the upper edge of the tread while a helper holds the chuck onto the stem.
 
Buy an inner tube..................
