I've been doing homework about these bead breakers from different brands as a DIY for about a week now and haven't found a solution yet. One very important thing I've realized that if you force the bottom feet of this breaker too much in between the rim and the tire, it will scatch inside of the wheel. In the future, there will be a potential corrosion inside of the wheel causing bead air leak. In the end, you mentioned about the pads for the bottom feet and I totally agree with that; however, I couldn't find any aftermarket accessories for that.
I agree. I think that this one is the closest you'll get to being protected with the padded finger, but some additional protection on the lower parts would be great just like you said. Maybe if the pushing foot was made out of nylon or something like that it would be possible. I also thing having a curve would help with the issue as well.
I had to break the bead on my farm tractor and just used my Dodge Ram truck, Scissor Jack. I laid the tractor tire under my truck's tow hitch and placed the scissor jack between the bead and the tow hitch. Then I extended the scissor jack until the bead broke. I could also use a bottle hydraulic jack instead of the scissor jack which also works. I didn't have to spend any money since everyone with a tow hitch, whether on a car or truck, can use their spare tire jack to break a bead on a tire. I'm just thinking outside the box.
I just got this from Ebay for $63 . It is not a good piece. I ended up using the bead breaker that came with the HF manual tire changer. It worked great
@@williamalbright8878 thank you for your business! I’m glad that you like it. I’m hoping to make an add on bead breaker for the manual tire changer sometime in 2024. I have some ideas but I just need to get some time to start testing them out.
With that fat tire, just clam[ the tire down with a couple of wood clamps. That will expose the inner part of the rim, so you can properly set the bead breaker.
Thanks man for testing on 3 wheels b/c I don't see anyone doing so. Wear PPE at all times b/c I can tell impact wrench stress out too ! 👍

When I do something like that I use a huge sea cland I put it on the tire itself and I squeeze the tire down and then I put my beat Buster on there.
Great idea!😊
If you take valve cores out, it will be much easier to push tool under lip of wheels
Every tire had the valve core removed. The tool is on the top right of the table.
It would have been easier to remove the air from the 2nd tyre?
None of them had valve cores in them.

Well the front side is the easy side does it work on the back side
That's a rawhide mallet. Works great for pipe fitting, prevents denting the fittings (copper nickel or brass).
the tire is completely deflated already and it still cant get underneath the rim?
Yeah on the Land Rover tires that was the issue. Tires all had the valve cores removed so there was no air in the tire.
People in Ireland buy them if they are on sale but in not in shop to buy them at moment

Got the same and I’m thinking wtf is this. I haven’t tried the manual tire changer but due to your comment maybe I will!
for gods sake keep your fingers away from the tyre bead, i had my 2 middle fingers taken off when trapped in the bead
As a 34yr professional commercial tire guy. Advice: Get yourself a tyreguy friend. World works on,"I know a guy"
But then how would I have made this video? 😉
How i take it?
Looks like a PITA to me.
Better than what comes on the manual tire changer stand, but you aren't wrong.
@@LucidAutowerks I have your awesome dismount and mount for the HF and I really like it.

@@LucidAutowerks I will be waiting for your bead breaker .

That’s a great idea 👍🏼
@@LucidAutowerks I was born late at night, but not last night. :--)
Ignorant people will always coment Ignorant opinions great video guy good luck God bless
Awesome thank man
Thanks for sharing
Next time use a lubricant to make it easy.
THERE'S ALWAYS TIME FOR LUBRICANT!!!
Just use tire irons people. Works perfectly every time. Easy and faster.
How do you use a tire iron to break the bead on a passenger vehicle? I’ve seen it done on a semi tire but they’re a little different.
@LucidAutowerks same way. Use the flat head side of the iron to slide between the tire and the wheel and step on it to break the bead.
@@dynomiteadventures3161 - I have driven cars on them and they still hold. Good luck!!
Bead Buster far easier to use, better design, no rim damage.
Info?
I have one,they're very slow!
Nasty!... but i guess it'll do until your next course of shock treatment!!!
Sorry.. I think it's waist of time
It will damage the rims
*waste
@@LucidAutowerks he may be referring to the time/space continuum as it relates to the girth effect when approaching the event horizon.
