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.

QUOTE(76-914 @ Aug 6 2018, 09:45 AM)  I agree that if you can break the bead you have the battle all but won. I have the big daddy of this bead breaker for doing full size tractor tires. At the same time for that price you can pick up the HF manual tire change machine. You don't have to take up garage space, you could lay a small slab outside and mount it in your backyard. |
