kramit Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Garden shovel works good!The lever made with a 2 x 4 board under the car is near effortless! What......you from Texas or something? Actually a shovel does work and it can be good for balance practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_scorpa3 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I use a porta-press accross my gagage side door, but a little bottle jack would do the job just as well. You'd probably pick one up at an Auto jumble for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespikeyone Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 A 5min crash course in mig welding, some scrap metal and a couple of hours in me dads workshop. works a treat and cost nothing!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkim Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Whatever method you use, I find it a lot easier by spraying some wd40 between the tire and rim after you deflate the tire and before attempting to break the bead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalley250 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Long bit off wood and a short bit of wood plus rear of car tow bracket. Short bit to beading then long bit as lever under tow bracket and onto short bit. As said lube it to assist it works to help break the bead. Failling that set fire to the B4ST4RD n burn it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Ha, ha, not yet. I heard from a friend that rear tyre should be glued to rim, so I'm asking here if that is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gas_gas_96 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 do it the redneck way bro ( btw im not a redneck) i saw a video where these guys spray something flammable around the edge of the tire where it goes onto the rim and light it and it pops it right of bead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course, you could try using that method to pop the bead off, but it might be a little dangerous....... Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Change tyres every weekend and never a problem. That's why youdon't have a problem. The bead never gets time to "glue" itself to the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
