Nice instructional for people who don't already know. Love that beadbuster.
That bead blaster 9000 at the end is where it’s at. How many times I wish I had that as a kid riding 3/4 wheelers. Wheeling as an adult too.
One method I've had real good luck with is a small bicycle tube, and grease. Sometimes that's enough to get the tire to pop up on the bead. It can pinch the tube, but usually works pretty good
Damn another tool I have to buy...lol... Thanks Colt..
The farm jack off my Jeeps bumper is my preferred way and the trailer crank comes in second. Thanks for educating the next wheeling generation
One time my dad and I we're going on a hunting trip we got a flat on the trailer and forgot a jack my dad told me start walking around the side of the road look for a big rock in some sort of bored or anything to make a ramp made the little ramp and drove up on it with the trailer got the tire up in the air remove the tire then used a ratchet strap to hold the axle up then put the bad tire on the ground and drove the truck over the edge to pop the bead got the tire off the rim with about 5 screwdrivers. Then had to use the ratchet strap to rap around the tire to squeeze the bead close I pumped it up with a bicycle pump it took a really long time but it was about 2:00 in the morning no tire shops open had to figure out how to MacGyver it but it worked and we were back on the road the next morning we found a town with a tire shop open on a Sunday we got another tire add kept driving
Great tips. Just make sure the rim is rated for the higher pressures if you are upgrading to a "F" or "G" rated tire. I have seen rims fail that were not rated for the higher pressures.
One important bit on trailer tires; they are usually smaller to keep the trailer deck lower. Smaller diameter tires spin faster than vehicle tires, meaning higher temps. Air pressure is also critical in keeping the sidewalls from flexing. Great video!
ive learned to change tires working on my bike as a kid. i used big flat screw drivers as spoons. this kind of old school skills has to be taught before learning how to use those automatic tire changing machines. just like learning how to weld using sticks before those automatic feeding welders. we are too reliant on machines now a days that we forgot that we can do things by hand and a few tools.
I’ve used scissor jacks and the old school bumper jacks a lot when I had my mobile auto repair going. Also can use ratchet straps to help some take air
I was a mobile tire man for many years. Yes you got the job done but you made it much harder than it needed to be. A bead hammer and a couple tire irons I coulda dismounted and mounted a new tire in half the time it took you to break a single bead.
Great video mate, my brother was breaking the bead on his LandCruisers tyre wearing Australian work boots, bare feet, he managed to get his big toe in between the tyre and rim, tyre popped back on rim with his toes in resulting in the removal of two toenails. Gave my other brother and me great pleasure in teasing him for the rest of the two week camping trip on Fraser island. Cheers from down under.
We used to use a length of 2x6 or 2x8 plank. position one end of the plank near the bead and drive a vehicle up the plank. Crude, but effective. Of course, a plank is not readily available on the roadside or out on a trail. Great tutorial!
I use a high lift jack to break the bead. I use my truck hooks in front of my truck or the back bumper or receiver hitch. I put the tire by the receiver hitch and put the high lift on the tire and the jack under the Receiver. Then jack up the jack make sure the bottom of the jack it touching the outer rim by the bead of the rim. Jack it up and stand on the tire. The jack will slide into the rim and it will break the bead.. repeat on the other side. Like Colt said sometimes you have to turn the tire and do it again. I always keep the stem away from the jack so it doesn't break the stem. Fastest way I found to do them. I used to run them over to break them also. Just keep turning your front tire as you follow the rim as close to the rim as possible
I do the exact same. The heavier the truck, the better.
Love this type of video!!!!!!wish others would do the same. Ty for all of yours!!!
I use a 4x4 post laying on the tire and drive jeep onto the tire but that last method you showed looks really nice!
If you are running full hydro or assist, place tire on front wheel if it isn’t already and stick a block or something sturdy between the frame and tire and turn the steering wheel.
slide hammer made from solid 1 inch round bar about 3 feet long inside a pipe with a chisel-like end on it works great it will break down the most stubborn tires you could ever want to break down especially when used with that xb550. i used to change alot of old rusty tractor tires and OTR tires for a living all by hand.
Wow, never seen the floor jack tip. Dont think Ill ever do it but cool to know!! Well done Sir
I’ve used a small block of 2x4, bottle Jack on top of that and under the bumper of a truck to break beads before.
Keep in mind - the bumper was the heavy drop bumpers from the late 80s era
Colt- thanks for making this video and explaining the process, along with the cause and effect of most common situations.
Keep up the awesome content!
I have an everything in my truck…everything is a hammer 😎
I've used the front corner stabilizer jack on my camper. Didn't have to hook it up to the truck and has a larger footprint than the tongue jack.
Been rebuilding n using widowmakers forever. Never worried about getting tires off of the bead, was always a struggle to get the bead to set with a 12v compressor. Solved that w a bead blaster airpig mounted in my truck.
Yep, used most of these over the years. I've had TPMSs on my tires for some years now. Kept me out of trouble a few times. Reseated troublesome tires with ratchet straps and brake kleen.
Thank you Colt the last way in my opinion is the best way for most people because it can work for any size tire and saves a lot of time
What I've done is lowered the wheel hub onto the wheel to break the bead. Only works on a vehicle or loaded trailer because you need the weight. I suppose harder on a tandem depending on how close they are. But you just jack it up, remove the wheel, put the wheel under the hub, and let it down. You might need to let it down with some speed depending on the weight though and jump on it. Needed to replace a valve stem on the Comanche and this was pretty simple!
Using soapy water to put tires on is not bad, but the dried soap solution is like glue. I have always used anti-freeze (ethylene glycol) because it makes the tires slip on more easily, and does not cause adhesion later on. I always kept it in the jug on my old Coats 20-20. When you are breaking one down by hand, you will be grateful for the anti-freeze.
Bead buster for the win. I got mine for ATV tires which are notoriously hard to break the beads on. But missed opportunity to show ways to re-bead a tire onto the rim when just air pressure alone isn’t enough. Great show!
I have a 5th method that I use and it works good. Lay tire flat, get a length 2x8, 2x10, or what ever you can rig up.. recovery boards dont work, put one end of the board on the tire up close to the rim and drive up on the onto it and the bead pops right off.
Bead breaker spoon hammer, that's what we call it, they make just the "spoon" that you can hit with a hammer.
Windex, the name brand, makes really good "soap" to help with the dismount/mount and reseating the bead and you can use it to clean the windows if you like to see where you're going?
One note on the bead buster tool. While smaller tires don't have the same strength and stiffness of a large truck, tractor, or loader tire, there is always the possibility that the lock could slip (or it's not tucked positively under the lip of the rim) and the entire tool can launch away from the wheel. So when using this type of tool, position yourself to the side of the tool and keep your face away from the tool until the bead is loose. We use larger hydraulic versions of this tool on much bigger tires, and I have seen them slip and knock teeth out. I'm not saying it will happen, but it can, and I wanted to mention the safety issue. No question though, they are handy as hell! Great video Colt!
I have used a bottle jack (or whatever is included with the car / truck) and lifted a vehicle up far enough to put a chunk of 2x4 between the truck frame and a tire underneath it. Then you just lower the vehicle onto the 2x4 and it breaks the bead. Nice thing about that method is you can reset and do another side pretty quickly. My truck always has 2x4 pieces (about a ft long or so) in the bed so its easy to do by the side of the road if I have to.
This was a very informative video Colt ,lots of great tips and tricks 👍 👌 thank you can't wait for the next one.
Great informative video Colt! Definitely going to look into the Bead Buster.
Hey Colt, thanks a lot I really appreciate the information on that bead blaster I just ordered one didn't know they even existed thanks again.
Glad I could help!
I was a little surprised that you didn't hold court on the existence and purpose of the drop center on the wheel. I've done a lot of motorcycle tires and watched a lot of people really struggle with them. Maybe car a truck tires slide into the drop center more readily. But a motorcycle tire often does not. Key to and easy motorcycle tire R&R is to focus your attention on where you are not working to ensure as much of the bead as possible is in the drop center while you are levering the tire.
Another great video with good info n stuff...thanks again bro!!!
Another good tool to carry is a Beadbuster (I use a XB-455) they are small and super easy to use. I carry one in my tool bag with my spoons and impact any time I travel. I actually have a video of how to use one on my channel.
Hahah I didn’t wait long enough to comment…….
Thank you Colt for sharing this information with me !
Any time!
I like how you show us how to keep things inexpensive. I like your channel. good stuff. I appreciate your knowledge.
Very good tips and tricks. I enjoyed this one very much. Thanks Colt!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I once did a trip across Australia and I would be fixing one or two punchers every night in camp , I used the high lift jack method . I also sometimes use a piece of angle iron about 5 inches long one side 2 inch the other side 4 inch and a quarter inch thick . Place the angle on the side wall of the tyre and with a good size hammer drive the 4 inch side into the bead ( 90 degree corner is up away from the tyre ) it will look like a wedge. You may have to move it around the tyre a few times but it will break the bead .
Love your work.
Angle Iron sounds neat
@ColtBuildsIt, GREAT tutorial! I really like the new direction of this channel. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I always carry a scissor jack, a screw bottle jack, and a compact 20-ton hydraulic jack. and I have used all three to break tire beads. The thing I like about the first two particular types of jacks is that they're low-maintenance, low-cost, and simple to operate, with very low risk of failure. I've adapted both to work with a socket either on a wrench or impact, so it makes for quick up and down and no need for carrying those cumbersome and bulky rods that they come with. The hydraulic jack I've adapted to work with my 18" breaker bar so I don't have to carry the additional jack rod it came with, and the 18" bar gives better leverage and distance for pumping the jack (less work.)
I also ALWAYS have at least 4 2" wide x 27" long ratchet straps. I have used the ratchet strap around the circumference of the tire to seat the bead. ratchet it tight enough to make the beads spread to the edge of the rim and then inflate until they completely seat. Remove the strap and finish inflating. Works great!
That bead buster 550 is a REALLY kewl tool.
If driving on a bead, use a skinny tire with street pressure.
The hardest part for me is getting the bead seated after I put a new tire on. Most of those were lawn tractor tires though.
I always use brake clean or anything flammable that is in a spray can on small tires. Just be very careful when doing this don't spray too much it's better to little than too much. Hahahahaha
Thanks, Colt.
I used the snow blade on my ‘76 scout II , loved that truck. Anywhos, is Ed my snowblade as we made my snow plow mount and used a power up and power down ram. That way I could lift the front wheels to install tire chains ⛓️ easily and quickly. Let alone break up ice with power down.
Thanks for the tips! Er Lesson on vehicle ownership 🙏❤️😎🤙
Good ole' corn binder with a snow blade sounds fun!
@@coltbuildsit so wish to “find “ another, that one literally fell apart after 318,000 miles, mostly moving snow.❄️.
Thank you for sharing the other ways! 🙏❤️😎🤙
Absolutely love the Bead Blaster 9000. The number of times I wished I had something like that
Love your show brother keep up the good work. What has worked for me in the past, you might not have a board with you, but I’ve laid a board up on the tire and drove up on the board which pressed down and broke the bead off the rim, just good advice if anybody ever needs it. Have a blessed day.
You can also use the brake dripum or disk of the truck car trailer what ever the tire was on after you take it off you just lower it down on to it. It works well and to the driving on the tire if you use a 2×4 or 2×6 place it up on the tire then drive on the board that works that how I use to do it when I was a teenager
Hi I really love your show I have been watching your show as soon it comes on ok I will always praying 🙏 for 🙏 you and your wife and your family and your friends ok 🙏 please be careful out there ok 🙏 and please 🙏 be safe 🙏 ok 🙏 you have a wonderful day and have a good night and day ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox
great as always great content very entertaining
All good information, my problem is when I breakdown I'm always 30 miles from the closest town, and it's 106+ degrees.
Great ideas colt thanks man
I'm 72, been tire wrestling forever... I recently found a tool from Australia... It's called Tyre Pliers... it fits in a pouch that is the same size as the pooch the crank from a Toyota truck jack fits in .. along with a pair of old school Ken Tool tire spoons I bought back just after I graduated high school, and a pair of the old Dayton rim tools... developed for the Aussie military and sold in the US... it'll break everything from a boat trailer rim to a 19.5...
Awesome vid Colt 👍
Very good at explaining
Great info, thanks
Colt, you should inform them about TPM systems just in case they try doing it on newer vehicles. Just saying some people don't know.
Big ole shooting star at 44sec.
Good info, bead blaster, nice. Thanks for sharing.
Not that I’m suggesting to carry around a loose wheel, but when I’m at the shop I’ve mounted a wheel without a tire on a vehicle and lowered it down onto the bead.
My dad changed his trailer tires without taking the rim off the trailer, I never could but he showed me how several times .I also do not run max pressure in any tire. My tires wore out in the center bad when I tried that on my Jeep. Dad told me to drive off a dirt road onto pavement starting with high pressure, drive a very short way and look at the tire. you will find a thin area in the center rubbed clean of dirt. Then you reduce pressure and repeat till you find a smooth tire clean of dirt all the way across, at that pressure you will get max life out of the tires. On my Jeep I ran from 14 to 17 psi and never had a sidewall failure. Oh and dad sold and recapped tires most of his life selling them from N C to Boston and down into Texas.
That Bead Buster Is WAY COOL 👍👍👍😜
GREAT SIMPLE MUCH NEEDED tutorial on unaddressed subject. Thank You. 😊😊
Glad you liked it
Cool Beans Thanks Colt!
One thing I found is usually the small air compressor s don’t have enough volume to seat the bead, so a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tire will force the center down and the beads out farther towards the rim edge allowing it to seal well enough to take air pressure and seat the bead.
A possible reason that using a vehicle to pop the bead fails is that the weight is distributed across the sidewall. Using a 2x2 (about 6" long) may help.
I’ve been having trouble with the tires on my fifth wheel and because of some of the areas I’ve taken it to I have two bent axles. I have 2 new 6,000 lbs axles and 4 3,000 lbs springs in the garage and I’ll be replacing the tires with 14 ply trailer tires.
Excellent, good info.
Thanks for watching!
Another great video Colt thanks for sharing!!✌️🇺🇲
HaHa! 10ply side wall... 😉 10ply on the tread he meant to say I'm sure. tips are good
That tire tool is awsome
cool
Thanks
Great presentation and tutorial. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
They make a slide hammer type bead breaker that works really well too. Probably not as good as that last one you showed though.
Great video.
Thanks!
I've used the 'drive over the sidewall' method many times. The key to having it work is full pressure in a fairly stiff tire on something heavy. You can also lay a short piece of 2x4 on the flat tire and drive over that to increase the pressure at the rim edge. On crusty, 25+ year old Unimog tires I've had to park a second vehicle on the wheel to hold it down. Otherwise the jack or other vehicle's tire just flips the flat one up off the ground. At the semi truck tire store they use a gigantic lead sledge hammer to break beads so that's also an option.
Good info to know. Thanks for sharing.
Any time!
I use dish soap to seal up tire no water just straight up dish soap. It seals it up good and helps the tire slide on. I used transmission fluid long ago but dish soap works better and not as messy
scissor jack works it got nice wide narrow foot print. p.s. I bet trailer leveling jacks would too trailer or fifth wheel and toy haulers
Sum b%#!
That jack method for breaking beads is slick!
Wish I knew this a few months ago.
I couldn't break the bead off my KMCs to save my life. This one is going in the memory bank. Thanks Colt!
Glad I could help!
I just drive up on the tire as close to rim to rim contact without making contact and a blown tire a cordless sawzall or grinder to cut the beads and slide them right off
I got one kinda like the last one but it's black and came with smaller 10" inch tire bars for like lawn mower tires but I have use it 22.5's tires with my bigger tire bars I sure beats swinging the old flat bill tire hammer
You forgot to mention trailer axle alignment. You can get tire scrub if the axles are out of alignment or bent.
Good content bro
Great info. I wonder how one of them sizzer Jack's would work? You know they have them in every vehicle.
The scissor jack that come in cars should've been in this
When changing semi tires 20 yrs ago, we use tire sledgehammer to break bead. Never u used on car tire tho
Correction....the ply "rating" is for the tread section of the tires...sidewalls seldom have more than 4 to 6 ply rating 😢...but that's a technical thing...load ratings for tires are based on the labeled "ply ratings" stamped on the tire sidewall..
I use the tounge jack of my trailer all the time like this. Deep bead ATV tires dont work the best with it though. 😅
You’re telling me for 50+ years I didn’t know you could do that with the trailer jack 😢
Did anyone else see that flying saucer lookin' thing hauling ass behind Colt at .45? That thing was moving!
Well it is New Mexico...🤷♂️😁
in australia we have tyre plyers and there another one ive got very similiar to your last one dont remember its name tho it lays across the tyreand using spanner or r/gun it breaks the bead but the one you used is better
Ply ratings no longer refer to physical plies. You actually want to look at your load index to tell you what the tire capacity is. It's easier on equipment to adjust tire pressure for the load/ temperature/ speed/ terrain.
I have popped the bead of a motorcycle tire by carefully driving my suv tire over the bead, while the motorcycle tire was held in place against a wall so that it didn't squirt out.
Sixtyfiveford has a build video on a DIY bead buster, he has a lot of good tire videos.
That UFO at 44 seconds though!! 😳 👽 🛸
Did you edit it out now?
I have the harbor freight spoons. They like to bend and it looks like they did for you too. I recommend finding some higher quality ones
Yeah 14 ply sidewalls and cheap spoons don't mix well, haha. But I have used them without issue for many 8ply and lesser sidewalls alot.
Laundry soap, or dawn stays slippery longer than water or pb.....makes things so much easier.
And just use the high lift to break it down.....you already had it out
