It’s pretty awesome what can be made from basically spare scraps of metal. I have a bin of about 200 pounds of random cutoffs, all 16” or less in length and it makes me want to go there and create!
SO GOOD.. Been watching a lot of your videos. you're probably a hell of a lot younger than me but you remind me of my dad.. nothing he couldn't or wouldn't do or fix and of course i was forced to help... which has proven to be a blessing over the years.. cheers!
Thank you for showing your work. Great fabrication! As Im watching your build, Im reflecting on my High School education. I graduated in 1976, and I was able to take 4 years of machine shop, fabrication technique and related skill application. What bothers me is our public schools today no longer teach these skills? Why?
Kids are taught touching anything with your hands is manual labor and will lead to a life of poverty. Only highly educated college grads will have a meaningful life.
@@sixtyfiveford would you build me one and let me know what you want for it. This is perfect sized for a tool box for wheeling
I learned to fix cars at 13 from drunks/mechanics 11 yrs later I have never paid a mechanic bill or a car note lol
Man, you have some great ideas. Your videos inspire me to go out into the garage even though it's cold as heck today. This gets added to the ever growing list of things I want to build once I get a welder!
Awesome, I'm glad you enjoy them. Cold can be the ultimate motivation killer.
That video was awesome. Fun to watch you design/build that tool, and conquer. Really satisfying!
Hey Thanks.
Awesome! I worked on semi trucks years ago. Changing out tires and wheels was part of every job. Chaining and caging the older ones. Inflating with starting fluid to lock the bead. Doing this from the 8th grade till sophomore of college. Like you, necessity made me come up with interesting tools and applications of some eye raising short cuts to otherwise hard roadside and garage mechanic work.
"Necessity breeds ingenuity."
Nice video.
Keep'em coming!
What's the technique involving starting fluid to lock it?
Before I tell this I do not recommend doing it. There is a tool, tank with a burst outlet designed specifically for this job. Again do not do this unless an emergency. Doing so is at your own risk. You remove the valve core with a tool and place it where you can get quick access without losing or kick ing it. Have air hose close. Twist a piece of paper towel to a length.Then spray a light coating of starting fluid around the tire where it fits to rim completely around trailing off toward tread. Pitch starting fluid away a good distance. Light the paper towel a fire. Touch or toss it to the trail of starting fluid. It will flame and pop on very quickly with force. Quickly put air hose on tire. After you feel enough air is in tire grab your valve core and tool and replace it back in valve. This technique can be very violent and shocking even for those who are experienced. Using to much spray can be dangerous, not enough and it won't pop the bead on the rim. Doing less is better than to much.
Again I don't recommend doing this.
I really want to thank you for this video. I was having a problem getting the bead broken on two tires. Couldn’t really afford to go to a shop just to have them remove the tire for me. Last time it was $25 bucks and I’d rather do it myself if I can. I got out my welder and some scrap steel. First one had the bottom lip bend so I double up and the second try and boom. It worked. There’s a few videos out there that show you how to build one but no real close ups or details like your table views. Thanks a lot!
Great design. Busted myself many a time with a pogo stick type bead breaker. That is so simple. May need to build one of those. Thanks for the ideas.
You got this down. Your work was well done. What I would want one for is a motorcycle tire. The older tires not the radio now days are easy but on my older gold wing tires are so stiff something like this is awesome. You put a lot of planning and work into this.
You never cease to amaze me! Awesome video and homemade tool. I might have to try and make one of these myself lol
Great craftmanship, a very handy tool for your shop. Respect!
Great video, love how you cut volume on power tools, really helps us headphones listeners.
Yeah, that's one of my pet peeves.
Works way better than I expected. Love the simplicity of the design.
Thanks. I was surprised how easily it peeled the tire off.
When I used to break beads by driving on them, I laid a piece of 2X lumber on the tire and drove up it like a ramp, was quite effective. I do like your breaker, great job!
Thanks.
Good job showing how it works on a tire that hasn't been off the rim 3 times before filming.
Awesome! Need to replicate this. I always struggle to get my tractor tires off the rims.
Nice. I recently tried to take a 14" trailer tire off a rim by driving over it with a Toyota 4Runner. Wouldn't release - your comment about rubber + rust is so true. Had to go to the shop and get it done - $7. Loving your videos, proper problem solving. Important to me because I'm about to embark on a new life on a homestead and self sufficiency is key. Keep 'em coming, you der man!
Thanks Man.
Just use a bumper jack, hi lift, put tire under truck and jack the bead loose. I have gotten some bad ones loose with a jack. I have a bead breaker that you lay a tire in, but some old tires get the jack treatment. I always try the breaker first. Broke a couple yesterday, thought I was gonna use the jack, but they finally gave up. I always take a grinder and wire wheel, clean rim, spray paint bead area. That's worked best for me.
But this tool he made is good for the bigger stuff. I have a skid steer available with forks. They will tilt down past vertical. A good squeeze from a log loader grapple will do it too. Out in the field, his breaker would be good.
Excellent video. I just finished a self taught lesson in frustration, trying to repair an atv tire that WILL NOT come off the rim. Ended up damaging the tire trying to pry the bead. My bead breaker on my tire machine could not phase it. I will have to build a bead breaker like you did. Thanks for the excellent works, and videos,
Love your videos! No nonsense and it’s fun to watch someone who’s clearly been around tools for a long time. ❤
Hey thanks
I've been considering making one of those for over a year now. I've also had quite a few truckers asked me to make one for them. Your video compared to others is much more informative and helpful in making those. great work and I'll be looking forward to seeing some of your other videos. Ken
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It has been coming in very handy.
I finished my bead breaker and it turned out perfectly. Well, I could have made the inner spring tighter.
Thank you so much for your GREAT video.
@@jksprecast2957 that's awesome
A guy is on his way here to check it out and buy it. I'll probably not make another. A light saber will be my next project.
Man I just found your channel! I may be late to the party but I'm staying till they throw me out! kindred souls so to speak!
Nice breaker! I've made a few handy tools from offcuts and junk from time to time- I shop a lot at the local scrap metal yard so may even get the acme thread from a broken vise. A real must have for 4wd-ing.
Thanks. It has come in handy a few times now.
Thanks!!! I spent the afternoon replicating your design, tomorrow ill try it on my tractor tyre, hope it works as good as yours!
Amazing design and excellent build THAT REALLY WORKS!!!!
Pretty awesome I'm making one. I like the angle iron. great job I'm on my way to metal mart!
Love your ingenuity! Watching this made me smile. Wished I had the tools (and $$$) to tinker like this.
I have a rule that the tools need to pay for themselves by building more tools and saving me money.
Very good, I made a similar one using a two ton hydraulic jack in stead of a long set screw.
Been breaking down and changing car tires by hand since 1968 and have built numerous different tire breaker tools but never tried making one that clamps right on the rim.
That one looks like it might be rough on aluminum wheels, you would have to pad it up.
One thing I have found, that when you drive your pressing device all the way in it takes a ton more force to push the tire down
Nice job on building that tool. could have used that allot 10 years ago. I love fabricating stuff too. I need your cut off saw. I still use the crappy lold style.
Thanks. "If you build it, the stubborn tires will come" I've been really enjoying this chop saw.
I love it when a good tool is born! :) Great video on how to make a well built tool that can take some beating and keep on working.
Great job on your version of the mechanical bead breaker! And finally, someone who understands that an OFFROAD tire can function just fine with all sorts of normally, for radial tires, ugly repairs. I hate it when someone throws away a tire, just because, some idiot at a tire shop , wants to sell them an expensive tire to get their commission. Or even worse, because it is "company policy" never to repair sidewalls.
I've just made one of these with a few changes. I used a piece of M20 studding so, being significantly larger, it wasn't really worth putting it off centre. I welded the nut on the top of the, inner, male member so I didn't have to bother with the long retaining spring as it's a bit like a bench vice. Obviously, this means that the nut has to be turned anti clockwise to exert downward force but that doesn't really matter. It was a bit more work for me to make than the author as I don't have a plasma cutter. All the components were made from scrap or stuff I already had. Thanks sixtyfiveford for pointing me in the right direction!!!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
THANK YOU THANK YOU for showing how these really work.Most other videos just show thr guy slipping the tool on and not showing how you must bang the tool between the rim and bead to make it work. GOOD JOB
Great job!! I need that tool. I have changed 100s of tires in the last 45 years using a tire hammer or jack or whatever works, but this tool will work without taking the rim off the tractor. the inside bead was usually the hardest to break. I have seen bought bead breakers, but I always like things I can make myself
Hey Thanks.
If you make your own, make that thumb a lot heavier. That way you can use it instead of hammering tool into rim. I think I'd build it with a little angle to it, to match angle of sidewall. Put a little curve in it like a rim, bevel it back a bit. I'm not being critical, but doing it on the tractor needs to be made easy as possible. Ask me how I know....
Well done, sir! I made one of these up from scrap and I'm very glad I did. I'm breaking down some old and very rusty tube type lock ring 20" truck tires and rims. Some of the rims have enough rust on the inside that I have to use this tool to push the tire off even after the lock ring is removed. There's no way I could have done this with any of the prying or hammering tools. Thank you for an excellent design.
That's awesome. I've used it a few times now and it has saved me a lot of time.
Two thumbs up 👍👍 on the bead braker tool. I have worked on inventing some kinda tool only to throw it in the iron pile after many hours of work. But that doesn’t stop me at 70 years old I’m still trying.
Thanks.
Yours looks to be a lot better than the $99 dollar one. Watching it work on that old tire was very satisfying, I watched that part a few times.
It's amazing how hardthe bead welds itself to the rim with rust.
Maaan, that thing was STUCK!! Great little device to handle it though. Thanks, Moe!!
It was a stubborn one for sure. Thanks.
Very cool, you have great talent. I have put this at the top of all channels I watch. I've learned a lot and I'm quite a bit older than you.
Thanks again for doing what you do.
Awesome, thank you!
Your bead breaker works great! it also looks more heavy duty than the one on amazon!
I'm going to have to try to make one. Thanks for posting this!
I've been wanting to build this for a few years; just been putting it off. I'm glad I did.
Great video! I learned from an old Mobile Tire Man to use soapy water for taking them apart and he would use gas for lube and to help the rubber to stick to the rim when airing them up. I am not talking about lighting the gas like you would with either.
I know this is old but thanks for the post.
I've built 2 over the years based on your design and they work flawlessly for steel atv rims and I've used em to swap 35s on my truck more then once.
Again thanks
Awesome. This has been one of the greatest things I've ever built for myself. Such a time saver especially with ATV rims.
Just watched a 2 part video of some guys trying to break the bead on a tractor tire by using another tractor and driving over the tire. Probably after 30 tries, they finally got the bead broke. They need to watch your video and duplicate your invention. Many thanks for this video as I will be using it to make my life a little easier.
Some of these tires bond so good the rim, you'll never get them off without a tool like this. I used to drive over tires but it's too much work. I've ripped belts internally by kinking the steel belts and ruined good tires that I was trying to swap.
Oh and I might add, your explanation of the rust and rubber helped me understand why my tire is stuck. The auad is an 86, and the tire shop thinks they are oem tires.
Very well done. For these situations where you want structural tubes to fit together nicely the Harbor Freight receiver tube works very good. A 2 X 2 tube of any wall thickness fits into the receiver tube with just the correct clearance just like any hitch. And they only cost about $15 for an 18 inch length. Thank you for sharing this idea.
Thanks for watching.
Nice looking tool YOU built and it works perfectly!! Excellent!
Thanks, it's been working out fantastic.
I have watched this video several times to estimate the measurements and think im gonna do my own now. Thank you.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
You make very complete and easy to follow videos. The ideas you come up with are inspiring as well. I always look forward to your next video.
Thanks. It's enjoyable to put the tools to work, making other tools.
@@sixtyfiveford thank you for the inspiration that you've given us
Very cool!! I have seen level style tool set for bread breaking and dismounting/mounting truck tires, but they run $300 and up.
Thanks. Yeah, they can get pricey.
Awesome tool. I got excited when you said we can buy similar use tools
Great welding project. Useful tool for DIY's
Thanks.
You are a really good engineer and fabricator. Nice job and good video.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Great job Moe! This would certainly be a handy tool in my shop as well. Thanks for taking the time! Zip~
It took a good amount to shop time to put together but should make up for this in the future.
I need to make one I have a lot of tractor tires to change and it would save a lot of money..great video!
Good to have in any shop. I like that it won't take up much space and very portable.
Compact is always nice in my small shop.
I like that it's not a big bulky tool so you could just put it in a drawer nice job 👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It has come in super handy.
Man I sure could have used this this past fall !!!! I KNOW what I am going to make come spring time !!! lol Shoot we even used a back hoe bucket and STILL couldn't break the bead! this tool would have been PERFECT and saved many of hours and a few good choice curse words !!!
I've had to use heavy machinery to break beads with mixed results. This was the easiest, I've ever busted a stuck bead.
As a young man I worked in a tire shop& with the wedges we had at that time plus a heavy sledge hammer I could knock the beads down with a few licks. The wedges were made with curves to fit the wheels yet not injure the wheels or the beads. Your device looks good & should work, I like it but I`m an old man & still like my way although it takes a little finese
The original ways are generally some of the best.
Man this just popped up. I'm pretty sure this was the first video I ever saw of yours back in 2018. I actually made one back then based off yours but I didn't have the angle or the tubing so I made all of it out of 1/4 inch plate. I never got to adding springs but the problem I had was when I did try to use it it bent the feet. I planned to just weld another piece of 1/4 on the existing feet to make it 1/2 just never got to it. It now sits around collecting rust. Just thought I'd throw this story in after rewatching the video that started it all. Take care moe
That's awesome. The feet on mine have bent a little over the uses but not bad. There's been a few times I would have never gotten tires off without it.
Fantastic fabrication! Your plasma cutter saved the day , what a labor time reducer. Rust is an amazing adhesive when you think about it. Hope your doing well and staying warm!
Thanks. It still amazes me what a plasma cutter can do.
Outstanding job. Well done.
Excellent tool Mo ! yeah when driving the truck on it doesn't work you know your in trouble, do you notice how the usefulness of the tool inspires you to put the time into making it, that thing will never break awesome job !
Thanks. It was a little time consuming to build but it should make up for this in the future.
I really like that. Got some scrap steel laying around, gonna make one to replace my tractor tires.
Thanks for sharing.
I love turning old steel into a working tool. Thanks, I hope you do.
Great video, nice build!
that's a very cool tool..congrats on the design, I like it and home made!
I've worked on many vintage Honda ATCs and ATVs and changing the tires is always a nightmare. They're designed to fit the rim extremely tightly and after 40-50 years they're practically bonded into one piece. I usually use a hi lift jack to break beads, but many ATC tires resist even that. I'll have to see what I have for scrap steel and maybe I can build a crude version of your bead breaker. 👍
Thats a real nice build. You won't need it often, but when you need it... you really need it
It saved my butt today with this tire. Now I can go back to the original goal of fixing this flat tire.
Fence post rammer+3" jackhammer or brick chisel+scaffolding bar+good sense of balance=the actual on site tool and skills a real tyre shop brings to a town tractor puncher party. The bigger the rammer, the bigger bead broken and it's still a post rammer for the rest of the time.
That's a cool invention man I think I'll make me one just to have I've got tire brakes but I like what you made and thanks for sharing this video with me..
Slick idea, Moe. Thanks for sharing your inventiveness.
Hey Thanks.
Best home made tool I've seen in a while 👍
The bead buster on my manual tire changer machine is a bugger to use on some sizes of tire; it slips off. This is a nice tool.
I missed the end segment with your pup. I love yer pup/s.
I know exactly what you mean. Some tires just hate my manual bead breaker on my tire machine.
Very well done. Identical bolt head sizes great for the Impact gun.
Thanks, It's been working out very well.
Awesome build,, I’ll be making one of my own.. Thanks for the video
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I've used it a few times and it is remarkable. No hammering is needed like I originally thought, as the "thumb" easily pulls it in.
Sixtyfiveford vids are always worth watching.
Hey Thanks.
Well, I watched the video one more time, now I am off to the shop to build one. Nice job explaining how you built it.
Awesome. It has broken down a few tires now that would have caused me hours of grief otherwise.
Nicely done, thanks for sharing.
You are the man. Thanks for sharing this video. Very inspiring. i must have watched this video atleast 10 times. I finally fabricated one by referencing your video and others on UA-cam.
Awesome. This has saved my butt a few times now.
cool tool and thanks for sharing the design and build process
Glad you like it. Thanks.
Anything worth building is worth OVER Building. Nicely done.
Awesome build! You solved a problem I didn't know existed!
Thanks.
Like your videos an especially the build out if steel !!! Nice bead breaker !!!! I was a tire man while in High School till I was drafted in the service an this would had been an BIG help on those stubborn ones !!
You know how stubborn some of these can be then. Thanks.
Very cool tool!! I've never seen a bead breaker like that. Thanks for the other links. I had an idea for yours, but I see they're already on the others.
Thanks. I'm sure it'll save me a lot of time in the future, breaking beads.
Well done ! Nice piece of engineering on the fly! Thanks
Thanks Man! I'm glad you liked it.
great idea well worth the time to build going to make two of these one in the van one in the workshop thank you for sharing
Thanks, I'm sure it will save me a lot of hassle on future tires.
What a great idea, I need that, that has to be the smallest, lightest bead breaker I've ever seen. Cheers.
Thanks. I wanted to be able to keep it in my truck, so I tried to scale it down to just what was necessary.
Neat tool you made.
Use a short beam for the drive on. A 4x12.
Of course you could use a bead break hammer. But the smaller diameter Agri. type wheel seems to need the tire machine.
You solved it for less. And less back breaking work your way.
Neat little piece of engineering there. Thanks!
Thanks, it's been working out very well.
Cool build man, I've had a few times that this woulda came in very handy, just subscribed.
Awesome, I'm glad you liked it. -Moe.
What glue would be best for joining two or more tyres together to look like a stool
I made one that looks like the one's you buy so I could change my tractor tires. I like yours a little better (simpler). I would put a a 45 degree angle on the part that draws/holds (finger?) the breaker into the bead. Then when you torque down on it will draw it into the bead and you don't have to use a hammer to drive it in. Great job Moe.
I decided to put the bolt at a 90° as I thought it may help in some tighter situations? Being the first time used it I noticed it helps to use this to pull the foot under. I thought I would be able to do this by simply hammering, but the rubber seams to kick it back out without the the use of the finger.
Awesome build i really enjoyed that as usual
Hey Thanks. It's always fun to use the tools to make stuff.
made one a couple of years ago, pretty much a copy of one sold online. I assume that is where you got your idea also. The problem you will fine is that if you use the impact, you will keep changing the nuts and bolts.
Buy coupling nuts, lot more thread.
Merry Christmas and happy new year and looking forward to many great videos.
Thanks Man. Merry Christmas to you as well.
You're smarter than the average bear. Nice job. I'll have to make one of those.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching Bruce.
You're most welcome and thank you for sharing. I'm Canadian, this thanking could go back and forth for awhile...
Very impressive, great build...gonna give it a try myself..
Thanks. It'll save me a ton of headache on these stubborn tires.
Of course I find this after fighting 4 golf cart rims and tires. But now I have a new project for the scrap metal pile. Thanks
This saves so much effort.
Cool idea , I made one a few years ago , way simpler ! I took an old bumper jack took the jack out of the stand /plate = the plate that stands the toothed shaft , I welded a piece of 1/4inch thick flat stock 8"x2" and I bent it 1\3 moon shape where the stand used to be then on the rachet mechanism I used some more flat stock and bent a horse shoe and welded rachet mechanism and that it ! Lay tire down by the hitch of your truck set it on the Beed next to rim and jack up the back of your truck . Works like a champ!
I've busted quite a few beads under the weight of a truck with a bumper jack. Some tires like this one though lift the truck right up like nothing. Even jacking up the front of the truck wouldn't budge the bead.
sixtyfivefor
the drive over the tire tip jela smart, I do somting similar wen pressing in motor mounts I just jack a veicle up n place motor mount below the tire ten slowly lower the veicle until mount press.. or just melt the rubber ten pour in...also done smting similar to loosen bolts wen I dint have a strong air compressor n space was limted to use long tube, ill just chain a breaker bar to a carjack n let the jack do the work..........I am gon try the bead braker design u showed if I can get my hands on thick metal
Hey Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Excellent work thanks. Often tires with calcium chloride in them rust behind bead making it almost impossible to break bead.
Had a full size backhoe bucket tooth barely broke bead.
Thanks. It's been working out very well on the stubborn beads.
Having a back hoe for stuff like this too, makes me feel how lucky I really am. I like his build though!!
