I first did this with 4 motorcycle tires. Yesterday I needed an old car tire removed before shipping. The shops tire machine is getting moved to a new shop and I didn’t feel like driving to my regular mechanic. I first cut the tire completely around the sidewall. Then made a notch in the rubber to the bead. Used the pair of box cutters in the pic to cut the bead. The whole process took 5 minutes.

Bought a set of tire irons and a sledge a whole bunch of years ago to save money when I was in the trucking business... even then it was 25 buck a wheel to have a tire mounted. Ten tires on the truck.... bought the irons and sledge for 65 bucks.
a little dishwashing liquid does the trick for tire soap in a pinch. I won't use the sledge on aluminum rims, I don't trust my aim enough. Now have a big slide hammer for that part. Either that or a couple of blocks a wood turned the wrong way on a hydraulic woodsplitter to break them down. sounds bad but it works if you're careful! |
