I use my travel trailer with a tongue weight of 400 lbs to break beads. Lay the tire under the tongue frame, put a 2x4 between the frame and tire bead. Lower tongue with electric Jack. Easy, peasy.
The shape of the base on most scissor jacks seem to be purpose built to break the bead. All you need is the jack and a car or truck with metal bumpers or a high frame and you're golden.
Back in the 60's when I was a teenager, We didn't need any tools to break the bead. We simply layed the wheel on the driveway and slowly ran over the tire with our left front wheel [so we could see what we were doing] and the bead popped everytime.
Or put a 2X6 on the bead and drive up on it. We did tractor tires and wheels on our BIG trucks that way. Sometime the tractor tire would be rusted in place. Just leave the tuck parked on the board and go do something (like eat lunch) it would soon break
While making stuff is fun; it’s time consuming. I just lay the tire on the floor of the garage and put a 2x6 on the tire just short of the rim. Then just drive your car,truck,what ever onto the board. It breaks the bead. Flip the tire over and repeat step one. Has NEVER FAILED
Yes , my older brothers ,Joe and Walt , always broke down tire beads with them ! Jacked them down right off the rear bumper . Now , does anyone remember steel car bumpers ?
Good video, I'm going too give this a try. My high- lift jack is hard on my old back. Also the back side of dually wheels i have to work it about halfway around before bead breaks.
Second design definitely better . heres a hack for you try spraying silicon spray around bead for mounting and busting tires .youll never go back to soap water. plus the silicon conditions the rubber and wont rust your rim inside. now how about making a C shaped one for larger tires id like to see that . good job.
If the jack end of the spring went thru a bridge welded to the jack, and the bridge had a T handle set screw to lock down on the spring, it might be somewhat universal, wheel size wise.....

You the man Victor. I never looked at it that way.

Right
Stiffer tires in those days....

@@allanc3655 that definitely sounds like it would work just as well.
Thanks for watching

Good dy from Ontario. Interesting. Now if jack was on tire would that also not help break bead on other side.
Thanks
Great point! the jack would push down on the sidewall of the tire
Anyone remember using the old bumper jacks back in the day? 😂

Still have the one from my 63 Impala station wagon. Use it to pull metal T-posts out of the ground. And to jack up zero turn mowers.
Much faster with an old spade and lever bar.
This is brilliant!
Very Inventive ! How do you weld Spring Steel ?
It is hardened steel so you will need to turn the welder up
Well done
Thank you for watching
Very creative, GREAT JOB. Thanks
Thanks for watching
Well done... very inventive and useful 😊

It should work if not I do have another bead breaker setup and video.
Thanks for watching
Awesome video. How could we contact you? Thank you.

Thanks for watching. I will look into that C style you mentioned
A lot of paraphernalia to do what can be done with some tire irons/spoons.
Also made the manuel tire machine so after that bead is broke we can pull the tire off the wheel.
Thanks for watching
that is a great idiea.well thought out
Thank you
Thanks for watching
That is pretty slick.👍
Thank you
And thanks for watching
Awesome job really good idea very innovative
Thank you and thanks for watching
thanks great stuff!!
I’ve been doing this for years. I also use a bottle hydraulic jack sometimes.
That sounds like it would work just as good, well done
Necessity is the mother of invention. 😊
Thanks for watching
I just put the Jack underneath my hits on the back of my truck and break it down
EXCELENTE!
Thank you for watching
One of the most country mf i've ever heard lol
I like the way you explain the concept more than you show mundane tasks like grinding.
Thank you for watching
Show how you'd do it on a golf cart tire.
I don't think that would be hard, just shorten the cross bar.
I'll have to keep a lookout for small wheels to try
Stay tuned I know a place I may be able to get a golf cart tire and wheel.
If the jack end of the spring went thru a bridge welded to the jack, and the bridge had a T handle set screw to lock down on the spring, it might be somewhat universal, wheel size wise.....
I'm sure I can use my log splitter
That's funny because I have been thinking the same thing. If you do that please let us know how it works.
