Bead Buster Instructions (Avoid These Mistakes !!!) XB - 452 Review

In this video I show step by step Bead Buster Instructions. The Bead Buster makes tire removal easy for DIY at home auto repair hobbyists like myself and it's affordable. This tire bead breaking tool breaks a tire bead quickly and easily if done correctly. Here are my simple Bead Buster instructions:
1. Remove tire and air from the tire and get some tire lube and lubricate where the tire meets the rim
2. Make sure the Bead Buster bolts are lubricated
3. Make sure you attach the desired arm of the Bead Buster that fits your rim size into the correct position by lining up the two holes and inserting the pin. (A wing nut holds the pin in place)
4. Push the sidewall of the tire down and insert the 2 feet of the Bead Buster tool between the tire and the side edge of the rim.
5. Make sure the black rubber end of the arm is on the rim and not the tire
6. Make sure the the arm is angled so it fits your rim snugly
7. Tighten the first 3/4 inch bolt so the Bead buster forms a 90 degree angle with your rim and tire
8. Tighten the second 3/4 inch bolt so that the feet begin to push down on the tire sidewall
9. Always remember to be safe! Wear goggles, gloves and keep your fingers away from the moving parts! Do not over-tighten the bolts.
10 Watch my video - "Bead Buster Instructions - Avoid These Mistakes !!!" so you learn the correct way of operating the tool and you learn what mistakes to avoid. It will honestly save you time in the long run.

Thanks for posting this video, I bought what I think was the first version and the pin was welded so there was no choice. It looks like you might have the piece reversed but since your rim has no gutter, you kinda just have to see what looks like is going to work best, also, I would grease those bolts what I like about this tool is the small footprint.

[@RayStein]

Thanks. I was not sure which direction the bead buster goes. I made so many mistakes with it I lost track. Grease is a good idea too. Thanks.

Had to pause at around 1:58 to laugh; "Apparently have to be Smarter than the BeadBuster to work it"... great tip, Boss!

[@RayStein]

lol

[@jbarrera48able]

U have the arm on backwards

[@RayStein]

Thanks. I'll try that. The instructions say to do it the way I did so the rim does not get scratched.

[@go5582]

@@RayStein your old lady could of told you that, your hand is facing the wrong direction. LoL. You started it.

[@jmfut]

The arm is on backwards. The screw faces away from the rim to prevent scratching the rim.

[@55classic1]

that's what the rubber tip is for@@RayStein

[@ericastanton2010]

is there anything special to inflate tire. can i just go to any gas station and fill up with air to reseal the bead?

[@RayStein]

You can. I bough an electric air compressor that's a little slow but it works. The key is the soap stops air from escaping temporarily until the tire bead sets up.

[@gwilli1754]

Thanks! Did you need compressor to get the bead back again?

[@RayStein]

Yes. The key is to make sure more air goes in than out. Then the bead seats itself at a certain psi.

[@55classic1]

also.... when you're resetting the bead...leave the shrader valve out of the stem so you get more air quicker...once the bead pops into place, let the air run out, re-install the shrader valve and fill the air.

[@markim5087]

Lol yeah didn’t yeah notice that pin when the arm fell out, lol.....there has to be better bead breakers than that...plus if you have expensive rims it’s going to Jack them up...

[@RayStein]

Yeah I struggled with the bead breaker. It was really funny. I was laughing at myself the whole video.

[@55classic1]

you had the arm on backwards... should lean into the rim / , not away from the rim \

[@RayStein]

Thanks!

[@robertbuck7186]

That rim is probably not compatible with that tool.

[@RayStein]

Yes. I ordered a truck sized one because I have a truck. I now realize with what you said I apparently have small rims and you solved the riddle. Nice work actually. Thanks!

[@kootenaycat]

A 2x6 and a vehicle for weigjt work much better, faster and less frustration lol!

[@RayStein]

Nice! I saw that method once when I was young.

[@jmalinowski1000]

Fail Army WINNER!!!

[@RayStein]

True

[@hardcoreplayafromthehimala4888]

Its not made for small rims..you could do that with one big and one smaller hammer...

[@RayStein]

Ok thanks. Thanks. That actually explains it.

[@hardcoreplayafromthehimala4888]

A smaller sharper put betwen tire and rim, with larger hit few times..@@RayStein
