Here's the inner tube

The instructions say to remove all the nuts and washers from the inner tube. Since, at this point, I had already tried to put the other tire and rim together without the nut and washer on the inner tube. I found that when I aired up the tire, the inner tube pushed it's way into the hole in the tire rim and made the valve stem lean way over on the rim. So here, I kept the nut and washer on the inner tube and removed the second nut, located under the valve stem cap. The nut and washer prevents the inner tube from pooching inside the rim.
