Breaking Large Tire Beads with a Harbor Freight Bead Breaker
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 бер 2023
- I am surprised, I didn't break it. Mostly, I've discovered that Harbor Freight non power tools survive my abuse well enough. It was a lot of wrestling on these large tires, but doing it myself, gave me time to paint the rims and do it right instead of quick and dirty. Stay tuned for what tractor is jumping up to 38s!

Cheap dish soap around the bead is your best friend. And won’t hurt the tire like oil will
For future tire dismounting/mounting adventure try a heavy mixture of water and dish soap (heavy on the dish soap) around tire bead, makes it a lot easier. Been there, done that, a bunch.
Hey, I didn’t know HF carried bead breakers? I guess it’s time to go buy one!
That little toy has eluded my radar. Might have to keep that in mind for future problems. I have become aware of the importance of studying the profile of a rim before putting a tire on. Knowing what way to press on the tire to get it to seat when putting air in is a game changer in itself.
Yes, had little trouble getting the bead on square in the next video.
I hire all my tire work out these days. It’s well worth the cost.
Bought one identical to it about 3 years ago before HF carried them.. mine is made from the same chinesium though. Have probably changed a dozen tires with it from 18.4x42” down to 15” auger tires. Works every time, no more using the backhoe bucket or pallet forks to try and tear the bead off of the rim.
Harbor Freight has gotten a lot better in the past 5 years or so. I'm there all the time now. Glad you had luck with this tool.
Thanks for the review of the bead breaker, I've been looking at it.
I bought one of those tools last year, but I got mine online (not from Harbor Freight). I bought the one I did because it was designed to be used with an electric or air ratchet, which is nice. They certainly are a great tool and save a lot of work.
I'm sure you don't have tire stores calling you constantly trying to hire you to change tires but you got the job done. That's all that matters. 🤣The bead breaker was a handy tool.
I don't want to do that everyday.
You'll find it works just fine with a standard 1/2 drive ratchet.. 8.8 is next to the lowest grade metric bolt, there are also 10.9 and 12.9. 10.9 is roughly equivalent to a Grade 8 SAE bolt.. and a squirt bottle of water with dish soap helps a lot breaking them down...
Cool seeing farmers working on tractor tires, all I ever see is new pickup and at tire shop waiting on mechanic to finish
1 3/16 inches is only about half a percent bigger than 30mm, which is probably the "official" size of that bolt head, though harbor freight chinesium isn't known for its precision ;)
Nice, I would say it go onto the Ford 6610, 👌👌👌
Good choice!
Use an air ratchet but DO NOT use an impact. Keep the threads oiled. I’ve used mine a lot and haven’t broke it yet.
Great video showing the bead breaker can't wait to receive mine
To the most cynical, driest sense of humor on a farming channel. Great video.
Harbor Freight used to be the tool store one would avoid and laugh at people who bought there. Now? It is a delight to go there and spend some time with my crafty woman as we drool over all the tools we really don't need but want all the more.
I mean, they are affordable, I haven't broken a Pittsburgh wrench yet.
Doing tractor tires are never easy.
This has to be better exercise than paying for a gym membership 😂😂
30 mm Socket is quite common in the metric large fasteners. Nice tool review.
Neat tool. This is what I love about farmers. It aint just milking cows! Thanks dude.
Auto parts store has tire soap. Mix with water or use straight to block air leaks when mounting. 8.8 is equivalent to grade 5
Lots of fun. Have a good day.
I'm digging the Arkansas Razorbacks hoodie. I may be a bit biased though lol
A viewer sent it to me.
Well shit. 80$ tool compared to 300$ x 4 Well worth the money. Plus. Tool still in great shape to work another day
huh thats pretty handy! yknow harbor freight actually has some pretty good tools. now there are some things you have to avoid. most of them can be avoided with some common sense. their welders are also pretty nice. i have one and i much prefer it over my hobart
I puchased one a couple years ago. Used my Milwaukee 1/2 inch drive impact 4 10.00x20 tires and 2 tractor tires it was desroyed.
My guess is 6610?
Show us more! Thats amazing!
Looks great 👍
FYI next time try driving the skid steer up on the bead of the tire, or use a jack under the counter weight and on the bead of the tire to force it down
A little Dawn soap and water going back together so much simpler as always enjoy your videos keep up the hard
One of my most hated jobs on the farm. Couple that with 95 degree July/August heat. Horrible job! I have to say though, that bead breaker is definitely worth the money. Got that on my shopping list. Next time I go to HF 😃
Next time use some liquid laundry detergent. Mixed with maybe a little bit of water in a spray bottle.
You will mess up the thread if you use an impact. Hand tools only
i broke one using an impact on it. welded and added some steel up on it after that happened. worked great for a long time after that! where its at today. ive not idea.
6610
You break the tab off the pushing bolt. I broke one and went and found a bead breaker that can take an impact.
Yup, broke two tabs off, and bent the foot that presses the bead down. Bought one made to use an impact on, no more issues.
I was wondering if it would work or not
Thank You for video
Spray it all the way around the rim seal. Both sides. The tire will come off a lot easier
Some tires are rusted on to rim really hard to take off especially tractor tires
The TC on 38s 🤣😆😀👍
Jack-all off tractor drawbar works
I did not know hf made a bead breaker. I'll have to get one.
I might have tried backing the New Holland up on the side of the tire
If you break it they will replace it at hf
The air over hydraulic ones work better if you can find them but is better than beating them off
I'm cheap and didn't feeling spending that much. At that point it's just as well to take them to a tire a shop.
Get a gallon of tire lube, or use dish soap. Lube the beads up to save Alot of effort.
Another ford in the Fleet? 💭💭
No new Fords, just taller tires.
@@boehmfarm4276 and more speed.
i thought you had 4 to do to be honest if it was me i would have taken them to the tyre shop
If there was fluid to be pumped, yes.
Try working on a Dayton wheel/tire inflating without a steel cage and watch the ring blow through your body. Wow.
Them old good looking 70 Ford trucks i recall.👍👍
What were them dual rims for ?? They've got quite the dish to them the set of 9s I got for my 8050 Allis I can't even turn side ways to slide between them
They came off the 1486 I sold.
@@boehmfarm4276 I've been trying to go to 20.8/38s but 9 bolts duals have been really hard to find
I need to measure, but I think the white rims are 18" wide, the size for 20.8s
So. That converts to a 30mm. Your tire iron technique to get the rim the rest of the way out is wrong(your using the wrong end of the tool). You also need to be mindful of the drop point of the rim.
I was wondering if the HF will stand up ????
What ever became of the 2x2?
I fixed it mechanically, but I have to put the can back together.
Where is 2 +2 is it sold and I think that tire is dual from him
The Firestones are from the 1486.
@@boehmfarm4276 and where is Anteater
Just dry on it with your front steer tire breaks the bead don't hurt the tire
A powerful tool made in 🇨🇳 snd designed by 🇺🇸
👍👌❤🇨🇦
You need soap!! Big life saver
radial???😂
Jesus christ this is painful to watch. Can you sling that hammer any slower
Where’s is the bandit farmer. Your old buddy.
Horrible Freight for the win.
