The easiest way to take a tire off a rim. This is the best way it has worked for me I have tried different methods and this is the best way, in my opinion.
I was like oh that's a great idea then I realized I only have one vehicle
Uu
You need two vehicles, you need one with a good spare tire.
^Quick clarification^: You *Don't* need two vehicles, just one. (as long as you have a spare tire on it...) Then put the bad wheel on the ground and drive it onto the tire (not the rim) to pop the bead.
Use a cruch then🤣
Put the 4x4 under the brake drum/disc of the axle you remove the wheel from, and then just lower the jack. Duh!
I take on/off tires for a living at the shop I work In but it’s always awesome seeing how someone without the help of machines would do it. I learned a lot from you dude. I will defiantly use some of these tips when I need to improvise. Thank you!!
Quick question brother. Would a bondo or some other aluminum safe material be okay for inside of the barrel where the tire machine grasp the wheel?
It's not defiant, it's just another way to do it without a machine.
This is definitely not for everyone...😅
That’s old Indian trick old farmer once showed me RIP 🪦 Duane 🔥
Huh you need a machine to remove a rim???
kind of in awe here...ive spent endless amounts of time and i end up cutting the tires. this guy did this faster manuallly then they do in a tire shop wiht a machine.. ill keep this in mind next time im de-rimming a tire..looks simple.
Try it out
Depends on what shop you go to, if they’re by appointments sometimes will go for the whole hour but if it’s a first come first serve they should be going fast
I watched my grandfather break bead on his truck tire this same way decades ago. He was in his late 50's at the time, and still changed his tires himself. very good video man, thank you.
Thanks i will be redoing the video soon and I will air up the tire too and balance it
Is late 50's old? Lol. If so, don't tell anybody.
What a young man
@@ChevroletC10andNova Have you made that video yet?
@@ChevroletC10andNova I would really like to understand why there is no worry about scratching the side of the wheel on the pavement? Is that just me?
I'm an old geezer and this is not new to me. But, what this young man is using is good old common sense, and shear Determination! Two things that made the USA what it is today. Kudos my friend, you're a blessed young man.
I used to do this also during hard financial times 30 years ago..... replacing old tire with secondhand tires.. :)
A little brute strength and ignorance goes a long way.
Are you sure common sense and shear determination isn't what made every country what it is today?
I don't know what makes other countries what they are today, I just know the US of A is the greatest country.
People all over the world are beating a path to the US and Canada. I guess They're not doing so well.
A genuine dude, genuinely helping others thru spreading knowledge. I appreciate you.
AND he has enough brawn to power it done. Unlike many of us.
You should never use oil products on rubber tires it ruins the rubber compounds thus making the rub er weak and wear faster. For the. Best lube Pam cooking spray or equivalent fractions s way better. Gravity will dam near do the job alone.
@@hallusimeight9829 actually soapy water like he used is the best. any oil, vegetable ir otherwise can make your first stop a little slidey. The oil won't wash off much and will spin out to the tread. detergents brwak down fairly fast, oils don't.

One little trick that he did that he didn't mention, but he did do it. Every rim has a "drop centre" that's the little gully in the centre section. When you're prying off a tire over the rim, you want the opposite edge of the tire located in that little gully. That gully is what allows the tire enough movement to go out from the lip of the rim and over it.
Thanks for mentioning that, I had struggled in the past and found that gully. You too are very intuitive ! Thanks.
Some of the new aluminum wheels don't have any "drop center" Super hard to get the tires off them, trust me! Low profile tires ain't no joke either! I been using a 1960's manual tire machine for many, many years on my fine ford trucks, you need lots of different tire tools or you will catch hell!
Haven’t done that (or watched that) since I was a kid. Greta video of an old skill that most think you can’t do.
Exactly
What is the gully?
Impressive. If you have ever worked with tires and rims you can appreciate how this gentleman demonstrates with ease the steps of dismounting and mounting without the aid of a tire machine.
What auto shop does this? I just bought some used ones off Facebook market but don't know where to take them to get switched. Please respond guys
@@Curious_gen Any used tire place but it will cost you. It cost me 15$ a tire to switch them.
@@Curious_gen Pep boys
@@MrPAWBowens Be a man and use a sledge hammer to break them down!
Are people who comment on youtube videos even human? I have to question who writes these comments, giving a synopsis of what we all just watched as if we didn't just watch it.
Wasn’t even looking to remove a car tire from a rim but I was intrigued and watch the entire video, it is never too late to learn something new.
Bro just made a video explaining how to do this step by step and still did this faster than a machine shop visit. Thanks for sharing.
Tire shop is busy and wants to charge me a arm and a leg to swap out trailer tires from one rim to the other. AWESOME VIDEO! I was like damn I can do this now I just need to go buy a 4x4 at Lowe's. Thanks for the tire hack!
People that gave this thumbs down probably couldn't do this if they tried their best and or are just too lazy.Great job,I learned something new and will certainly use it in the future.
Thanks people just hate but its ok almost 300k views not bad I only expected a few thousand not hundred thousands
Its a good way to ruin your tires
Don't do it that way if you have pressure sensors in them or you will be sorry lol
The tire shop I go to usually only charges $35 to put a different tire on if I need it...i have none Of the tools needed other than a mallet/screwdriver..i spray paint rims though and do other minor tire stuff I can change Oil on my car .. I had a Jack thing fail on me once after loosening tire lugnuts nearly broke a foot if the car fell on me

This was straight up one of the few things I thought I would need to go to a shop for. Brilliant tutorial, thank you thank you thank you for sharing. I need a new rim now and will likely be giving this a shot in the next week.
Now I'm embarrassed after buying a tire mounting stand and tire irons I took over an hour to replace my tire and I could not get them to seat (kick on it). You the man!
I would never be able to do this just because I am an older lady...lol. But I think it is fantastic you did this with no special tools. You took one tire off and put another one on in less than 8 minutes. That is fantastic. If your video had been dragged out to 20-30 minutes, I would never have watched it. Keep up the good work, man...this was great! Jesus bless.
If you ever need any help with the car I will be happy to help you Thank you God bless
@@bluesmurf6142 What a wonderful heart you have. I will keep it in mind that you are not only a skilled man but a generous man. Jesus bless.
Never say never my grandmother till her mid 70s could out work men half her age. Grey power rules every one else drools Ooh rah!!!
I'm a tire guy. When the 20" wheels first came out our machines weren't big enough. So we mounted them this way on a flattened cardboard box. You'd think they would be harder to do but the smaller tire diameters are tougher to get onto the wheels.
I do my 20” this way too but I do put a carpet under to not scrape them
@@ChevroletC10andNova you made that look easy, thanks for video, i did 2 tires today took me way longer
You're right, I tried to change a small 4 or 6" cart tire but gave up and just bought a new one because that small of a tire just doesn't have any stretch in it.
You are the man! I use to change motorcycle tires by hand some years ago and people were amazed I could do it without taking it to the shop. They learned! Thank you and I learned something too.
He makes the hand work look easy, but he's strong as f@*k, and putting a hell of a lot of force into it. I'm too weak for such a task, and sure do appreciate his youth, style, and vigor! Way to go dude!
Driving down to Texas from socal so needed this video. Never know if you get a flat in area with low signal so you may or may not reach roadside 🤷♀️
Dude, you're a stud.... and a fantastic instructor! I never knew this could be that easily possible, thank you for taking your time to post this!
Yeah no problem
Make sure to have something on the ground under the wheel so you don't scrape rim on concrete though
Yeah definitely if you have nice rims these are old rims but a Matt under the wheel would work
@@ChevroletC10andNova A sheet of cardboard works well also.
or do it on the grass.

Was looking for this comment 😁
Thank you so much. This is one of those jobs I assumed had to be done in a shop. Glad to know that with a few simple tools, some patience and some muscle I can do it at home by myself. I'm a mom who just got my first project car and I'm looking forward to doing as much work on it myself as possible.
Yes definitely I have a few projects now too that I sold this truck on my video I have a 62 c10 now and a 65 impala will post them soon
Definitely a easy one he did, one in 5 maybe 10! Didn't show him inflating it either, which can be tough money sometimes! It is best done with the valve core left out till you get beads seated on the rim again, allows for a greater volume of air which will help immensely! Sometimes you have to spray in a little ether and light it to get the beads to seat again! I was manually mounting tires before this dude was born! lol
Very true!
I always used ATF. It is very slick. It has been a very long time since i have done this. It's nice to see people doing for themselves. It has just become so easy to carry them ad pay to have it done. Thanks for the video. Great job.
The Owner's Manual for my 1965 Chrysler shows to put the bumper jack bottom on the tire to push up against the bumper to break the bead loose, though they don't show then prying the tire off the rim. Today's drivers are so wimpy that cars don't even come with a spare. I swapped a 13" trailer tire manually and it was tough. I followed the same method, but prying the tire off was much harder than shown. The main trick when prying is to hold the opposite side of the bead down in the valley where the diameter is smaller, giving just enough room to slide the bead over the rim.
for those who wonder if our kids are smarter than us, todays cars come with a sticker on the battery that says do not drink the contents lol
Thanks for bringing back a long ago memory. I remember doing this on a tire for my M151 Willys Jeep using an APC almost 40 years ago. Wish I still could fit into my jungle fatigues with that 29" waist I had then. THANKS AGAIN.
At least have got some I dea ,,thank
Try using the soapy water to slide in at the waist.
Here I am, in another country and 2 years later, and you helped me get a tire off a rim this morning! Thanks man!
Glad my video helped
I used to do this 60 years ago on our farm in Ireland. Old leaf springs were better and less likely to damage an inner tube. Thanks you woke up some old memories.
Much faster than me taking the trailer tires down to the local shop and waiting for them to install them. Thanks!
Glad to help
Another tip: Often the reinflation won't seat the rim because of air leakage and not enough air flow. I inflate tire before replacing air valve to seat rim, then install valve and inflate.
Yeah there is many ways to do it
Thank you for that Mr. kenirwin276
I have never had a tire come off and go on so easily, but I'm glad it worked for you.
Yeah it works
I used to remove and replace tyres in my garage in the sixties like that. You never use a steel hammer, because one slip, and you can rip the rubber. He should be using a rubber mallet. Two long tyre levers would be handy for all car DIYers, they are cheap, and have a number of uses. He was lucky the tyre was so easy to work with. They are not normally that friendly, especially if they are wide ally rims. Even my machine has trouble sometimes
I have a good 20 or so wheels in my business, most are easier but I do have 2 trailer, 4 pickup truck and 4 car... And they are definitely not always easy, I have fought and struggled more than a few times... Takes a lot of practice, best I can tell you, personally I like the 3 tire irons method but whatever works, I also like to clamp a Vise Grip in a spot to keep the bead from slipping back off while putting it on. Again, whatever works and yes seating the bead can be painful as well.
@@8307c4 if you're not in a hurry to change the tire then just wedge something into the tires on 2 or 3 places to hold the rubber apart for a day or 2 and you can seat the bead quite easily as the tyre is touching the rim then.
yah wrong hammer and so many more wrong things too.. he picked th cleanest nicest easiest one to do by hand lolloll
Great job. A key is patience when breaking down the tire from the rim. Sometimes it takes a little rotating of the tire at different points to break the bead. Also small bites when putting the tire back on to prevent the bead from getting damaged.
That's what I was wondering about the bead. So the bead is re-usable then?
Changing a tire on my lawn mower today. Everything that could go wrong did just getting the tire off. Your video was a light at the end of the tunnel. It was the part I was least looking forward to and yet it was so simple and fun in the end. I’m ready to cut the grass tomorrow! Thanks so much!
Glad I could help
I have done this a number of times but I will make one comment. This dude is really strong to be pulling that tire over the rim like that. He made it look easy and it is not that easy!
Yeah it's easy, but only after pumping iron for 2 years! When I was 20 it took me an hour to do this because my arms were half the size of his.
Same here. After watching this makes me think I could, but I know what the outcome would be haha
Cheap thin walmart tires my 5year old could do that
Thanks for the video. I haven't done this in quite a while and had forgotten it isn't all that hard.
Great video! Brings back memories of my teen years when flats were common. Thanks for sharing.
Just Awesome We need people like you sir to run our country.
I was having serious difficulty trying to break the bead on a tyre to replace the valve stem and it worked a charm! Thank you so much for saving me hours of hassle!! It's genius!! Respect and thanks from Ireland! 🤘🏻🇮🇪
No problem bud shout out to 🇮🇪 🍻
@@ChevroletC10andNova If you're ever in Galway, I'll buy you a few beers! 👊🏻
Buy two tire irons and work your way around. Costs like $10, hookside to hold down, other side to pry tire from rim.
@@thebunz7 No sheet Sherlock!
I found some mud terrain tires with good tred at the dump sadly they where dodge rims but with this video I was able to get them on my ford and it looks badass now. Thank you
Thank you for the knowledge that you have given me today, good sir. You have made my life much easier, and that is greatly appreciated

This might be the easiest way to take a tire off. This is genius and I feel stupid for not thinking of it. Cheers!
They have been doing this for years in different procedures they show how they can do it with a floor jack and a 2/4
I first learned how to do this 50 years ago in Canada. I'm just surprised this knowledge took so long to trickle down to the states.
@@bobkozalov8821 well that was 50 years ago. guys 50 years ago in the US know how to do it too. but the knowledge from your generation hasn’t been passed down correctly to mine so not all of us guys know how to do it here
tires are best on tire4coin
I like the 4x4 idea to break the bead, very simple and fast, good video.
MIND BLOWN!!! Changing bicycle tires is like this on a much smaller scale. I was literally just wondering the other day if you could apply a similar technique to car tires, but I thought the forces were just too high to do by hand. I never thought about using your car as leverage! Brilliant!
Thank you for your tire trick I've never change the tire but now I feel you've given me the skills to tackle it
Well done!! My dad used to do that back in the 60's, he bought tyre irons that were flat that worked really well. They even used non-tubeless tyres as tubeless tyres. Thumbs up to the people who make do.
yes you can tube tubeless tires and run tube tures with no tubes.. it all depends on the wheel type actually... two piece wheels like the widow makers need tubes.. its the one piece modern welded or riveted rims that you dont need tubes usually.. since abour 1981 or 1982. when the old style widow-maker locking ring type rims were not made anymore.. on pickup trucks etc. 16.5" ones. and 17.5" and 19.5" and 22.5" etc. and tyre?? u must be british lmao.
You are the champion. When I was in high school I muscled a pair of tire changes similar to your method but without the benefit of the 4x4 and a vehicle. I had hell of a struggle and I was merely 135 lb then.
Yeah the 4x4 is a good tool also so many ways of breaking beads, I’ve tried all sorts of ways
Thanks - I did it that way (driving onto a board). The first one was not stable enough, but the second board was a go. I reversed the car on a bit, then I stopped the car and jumped additionally onto the tyre - that did the trick. I just wanted to put a new valve in. In line with Murphy's law, the valve fell into the tyre. I then added a bit of garden hose with duct-tape onto a vacuum cleaner and sucked the valve out again. Being more careful now, I placed the valve into position with a plastic cap on and then grabbed the valve by the cap with pliers to pull it thru (after having applied grease)... All good.
tire4coin is only site where I buy tires
Did this at a gas station 10 o'clock at night when we had a trailer tire blow out and were able to buy a junk tire from the guy there for 5 bucks, got us home! Thanks!
Glad it helped
I use a block under the board that's breaking the bead to stop it from smashing the tire completely. It can ruin those steel wires inside the tire. I can sometimes get by with about 3 inches of drop. Thanx for your time on the video.
yes u just lay a 2x8 or 2x10 under half the rim, the half that you are using the bead breaking lumber length on, to keep the tire form tipping as you drive the vehicle onto it., ive been here done this way quite a lot.. but this dosnt work for just any tire.. big heavy truck tires and stuck rusted ones it wont easily at all
I'm glad you said this because 9 out of ten people are gonna distort the steel belt in their radial tires and end up buying a new tire this great for removing a tire you no longer or a non steel belted tire .
I would pick a cool day in the shade. Thank you!
I was cringing watching those American five spoke mags getting slid around on that concrete driveway 😭😭😭😭😭😭 You did it faster than a tire shop that has thousands of dollars worth of equipment You the man brother 👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you and these are just some old rims
Just one comment, when taking off or putting on a tire what helps me was step on the opposite side of the tire so the rim of the tire will give you more tire rim to help put the tire back on or off. I hope this makes sense. I do love the 4X4 idea. I seen it done by driving on the tire and I seen it done by using a huge sledge hammer. Thanks again for the tip.
Yes you have a good point that works better
I've actually done similar stuff in a parking lot in the middle of the night in a pinch. Didn't have a 4x4, just backed a trailer tire up on the flat tire on the ground and finished beating it off the rim with a ball peen hammer then removed the tire from the rim with 2 big screwdrivers. Amazing what you can figure out when you're in a bind.
I broke the bead by driving over the tire, right next to the rim. But maybe this can damage the tire.
Well done young man. Best regards from Hasbury UK
if you have custom rims put a piece of carpet under them to protect the rim nice video this method has worked well for me for over 50 years
Yeah thats a good idea
Bro, they don’t call you Mexican for nothing bc you can. Love it.
💯
So can CANadians and AmeriCANS. I think it's a continental thing lol. Nah but Mexicans are perseverant.
That was smart, the way you broke it down. I'll have to try that. Dad taught me how to drive up on the edge of tire right beside the rim and go around it a little bit til it breaks down, but your way is better -- less risk of damaging the tire that's on the car. One thing you failed to explain to the audience,though, is that while you are working the tire off and back onto the rim with your tools, you need to occasionally push it to the valley in the middle of the rim on the opposite side, 180° from the part you are working on. That gives you more slack in the bead to work it over the rim with the tools. I thought the toughest part was where you were trying to get that last little bit of the first side back onto the rim, and you were working inside the tire, almost, with the tools. I've put over 35 patches on the inner tube of my right front tractor tire (before finally resorting to Slime) because of wild pear thorns. I find it easier to put the tire back on the rim by working from the rim side with a pry bar, not the tire side. You did a great job, though!👍 It was a good instructional video. Thank you. God bless you for sharing this knowledge.
I've heard of people changing car tires without tire changers but have never seen it - until now. Excellent video and super fast too. Thanks for your help.
tire irons have been around for well over 100 years now,,, how do you think ppl changed tires before machines??
i got my tires from tire4coin
That was some master-level ingenuity! And you did it in a few minutes. Thank you for this. It will come in handy.
YAY!!! One suggestion for you. Do this on a piece of cardboard to protect your rim from getting marked up by the cement.
Yeah I do that to my newer rims these are beaters
The last step, angling the assembly and using your foot to seat the tire onto the rim, is a great idea IMHO, thanks!
I used to repair flat tires using simple fiber based plug, but now they say the repair is unsafe and, therefore, not recommended. So I was looking for an inexpensive and easy way of taking tire off the rim and remount it after repairing the flat. When I was younger I saw people remove/mount without using power tools like this young man is doing. They used two pieces of leaves out of a leaf spring suspension and a big hammer. This man uses a tire iron and a heavy-duty screw driver. Anyway, it is nice to see that this job still can be done at home. Repairing tires can be done, I think, this way at home, but anything that requires balancing the tire still needs a trip to a shop that has the right tool. Thank you for showing this video.
Putting a plug in a tire is ok for a roadside repair but a patch is always been the best way to fix it. As far as balance. Buy balance beads I have done my own tire work for years right in my garage car truck tractor tires tools are a cost but proper tools and knowledge will always get the job done faster.
@@floydhorslerjr8422a well placed plug on a puncture will last the rest of the tires life. It just has to be a puncture, not a slice/slash/cut.
@@JunkBondTrader I've been in the business for too long to be able to agree with you. I've seen many plugs fail. I've repaid many tires that were plugged as well as had to replace tires that were ruined because of plugs
I just watched a guy change a tire with two screwdrivers and a 4x4 faster than my mechanic does with all his fancy equipment, Brilliant.
This is just house tools I have the proper tire tools I knock it out in 5 minutes I just wanted to show you don’t need nothing special to do the job
I’m a Scrapper and I obtained 8 aluminum rims from a customer with the tires still on and I was trying to figure out how to remove them and I’m gonna try this!!!
Give it a shot you can do it
To many or most of you this won’t make any sense at all but the agility of a young man! Used to do truck tires in similar fashion then use starting fluid and match to set beads back onto the rims. Great video!
Good video. Here's a couple of thing that I do to make it easier.: I always have a gallon of old used oil I save in a milk container, and I use a little bit of that to lube the rim rather than soapy water (it works better for me). Also, a tire iron from Harbor Freight is around $10 and it really makes this job easier. All of your techniques are great instruction too.
I have seen a friend use oil but I just do soapy water and I do have all those tools and I also have the tire remover from Harbor freight but I just wanted to show that you don’t need nothing special to do this.
Oil might destroying rubber..
Amazing chief👍
He had the tire iron.Can see it in the beginning but didn't have to use it like the jammer
Might as well just get the tire changer for $50 when there. Tire irons help for sure.
Ingenuity at its finest. Quick and simple. Great video.
Man, dude,hombre,amigo…..by far the best at home tire and rim at home removal do it yourself video on KZhead!!! And all while wearing a pair of Jordan’s
Now that is what Gunny Highway meant when he said IMPROVISE ADAPT OVERCOME!!!! HOORAH!!!!
Also sometimes the tires are a little tighter fitting so if you step on the part of the tire that's already seated and pushed the bead down in the middle you won't rip the bead if it's too tight to put on I've learned that the hard way before chewed up a bead to a tire remember sometimes you have to keep the tire pushed down from the rim to finish the last part of placing the tire on the rim or you may tear it
Great way, never thought of this but surely worth trying! Thanks for your demonsatration 👍
Works great. Did it on an old lawnmower tire with a 4x6. At first it didn’t seem to work and slowly the weight peeled it back.
Not bad. I've been doing my own like that for years and I won't use a screw driver doing this. The tire iron you had works but if you have one that's longer and use that crow bar it'd be much easier do to better leverage. Also, when you put that tire back on and the bead keeps slipping off the rim as you work around it, I use a pair of vise grips to keep the bead from slipping. You might not want to use them on a mag rim unless it's no good and be careful using them on aluminum rims also. Over all this was a great video. Love the truck.
i do this on a daily basis.i dont own a machine on my tire shop..i know its hard but youre determined.good job and nice tips btw.
Well done young man :) Probably a forgotten skill for the younger generation. They should watch this vid.
Didn't think that possible if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Thanks for the cool tip.
Instead of using soap there's something a little better. Diesel fuel or kerosene I find it's a little better than soap. It will slide around the rim a lot better. From Mark Kingston Springs Tennessee
I think i'll just stick to soap and water lol you'll end up reeking of diesel.
soap and water are fine but I spray a little silicon lube it's slicker
diesel fuel oil and etc ar enot good for tires at all.. realy bad... and thats a good way to mess up tires damage them.... if youre gonna use any petrolume or related then at least use something safer better for the tire rubber like silicone etc. hmm..
@@fast68chevy you're thinking of gasoline. Diesel is a lubricant, not a solvent like gas.
true but who has diesel or kerosene lying around
This is GREAT thank you! A couple things I will do differently, combining the comments other people posted here is: 1. put a old towel or cardboard down between driveway and wheel, 2. work from the back side surface of the wheel (front side down) to keep the front unmarred , 3. Use tire irons, maybe some kind of plastic coated pry tool, 4. Make sure of tire direction when I remount the tires, by marking the inward facing surface of the tire (on masking tape) with what wheel they go on, what side of truck they were on, and an arrow to line up with valve stem. I have wider rears than fronts (wheels) Of course I really appreciate the video for us DIY folks with simple tools most everyone has, like screwdrivers, regular hammer and tweezers instead of a valve tool! Excellent. I am going to paint my 1964 C10 stock rims but I want to do them with out tires on, I have seen tutorials to paint wheels with tires still on but I just can’t do it - want to paint the entire wheel, both sides, and not have a gap on the rim edge or overspray on the tires...and “I got more time than money” to pay someone to dismount and remount. This technique might be same time as doing all that masking on both sides of 4 wheels anyway, and I could use the exercise haha
Enjoyed watching the video using a tire wrench or flatbread screwdriver on the front side of the rim Willmar the rim you definitely will damage the rim by putting those two tools in there
Removing and replacing the tyre from the rear of the rim instead of the front of the rim would definately be my preference. Avoid tyre lever marks on the front of the rim especially if its alloy.
Just realized all i need is the valve core. I was gonna replace the whole tire stem lol. Nice job on breaking the bead. I dont think ill ever have a shop change my tire anymore lol
Tire Spoons are cheap and better than screwdrivers. Ok, after "breaking the beads" from the rim, when you pry the bead out, you MUST push the bead that is 180 degrees opposite that point (and mostly all around) DOWN halfway into the rim chnnel so it gives you slack on the end you are prying out. Sometimes using your foot or knee to push the bead into the channel to keep your hands free for prying. That is why there is a big wide channel halfway down the middle of the rim - you can see the channel in the middle of the rim at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="218">3:38</a>. If the opposite end of the bead does not fall into the channel, it won't give you enough slack on the end you are prying - and you will tear or distort the bead. The bead DOES NOT stretch, it is very strong, so you must give it slack by pushing the other end down toward the channel so it slides into the channel so you can pry out the other end without damage. Then you use "tire spoons" which are not as sharp as screwdrivers, as you go around prying out the bead while pushing down a bit on the opposite end of the bead. If you do this right, the bead will come out easy as "bud-da" [that is Bronx for butter]. Then flip the wheel over and remove the bead from the rim using a tilt in the tire to get the opposite side of the bead to fall into the channel. That bead will pop off like melted budda. Remember to do the same when putting on the tire. Wedge about 1/3 the tire bead in halfway down onto the rim, then you can use tire spoons to work the bead under the rim's lip starting about 90 degrees from where you wedge the tire and work it around, keeping the bead that slipped inside the rim down in the channel for slack in the prying. It takes practice. It's easy when you know how. Watch at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="303">5:03</a> as he prys in the last part of the bead, the other end of the bead is hanging up on the rim lip and he uses a LOT of force on the bead (which could damage it and cause a leak) until the bead suddenly slips into the channel - giving him the slack he needed to get the bead in. If he had done that from the top, he could have used his knee to get the bead into the channel and not "fight" it so much. Soapy water helps to lubricate the bead but you MUST wipe out all soap/water from the bead, rim, and inside the tire after doing this - else the water will rust the rim lip over time and you will get leaks around the bead. It is best to dry everything off before putting on the tire and learn to "work" the bead into the channel and lip and not use soapy water at that stage to prevent lip/bead rust leaks.
A friend showed me a quicker way years ago and it works quiet well. Place your tire in front or back of you front tire on your vehicle, align the rubber only with your front wheel and drive upon the tire slowly. This will also break the tire from the wheel. Works great for small wheels also. Try it, you might like it. Enjoyed watching your idea.
Its a good way to break the air pressure monitors mounted on the rim
Always break bead opposite valve , will always avoid tpms sensor destruction
Just how I learned from my pops back in 1969.. Great job
I have struggled so much trying to get tires off rims, especially when they are on there for a while. Thanks for the great idea.
No problem!
@@ChevroletC10andNova Have you tried to get a tire to seal on a rim using butane of acetylene gas? I have done it on a small tire that was shipped in a distorted condition. Not sure if I would try it on a bigger tire but it was the only way I got it to mount. Be careful.
I just tried your method to get a tire off a rim, it works like a charm, beautiful. Thank you very much.
when i was young i had a lever device i got from jc whitney that i could break a bead on car or light truck tires then at the power company where i worked most of my life the mechanic had a real tire machine and he would let us use it. now i'm 71 yrs old and i don't do that stuff anymore, i rely on the young guys to do it. i enjoyed watching you do it your way, right on!
I still have my wing window locks like you have on your truck from the late 70s or 80s they work ! Nice display on the tire R&R or rip & replace good quick job !! Thanks
that hood is a 79 or 80 hood but the rest is before 79. see that line across front edge eof hood? thats only in 79 and 80. but the HL bezels and other parts are before 79.
I have done this a couple of times . It is best to have a buddy help . Especially putting the tire on . To hold the other pry bar from slipping around on the tire . GOOD job doing it yourself two thumbs up.
You made that look easy, but even assuming it takes me three times as long using my nice Motion Pro motorcycle tire tools and rim guards, you have given me the confidence to replace the tires on my new (to me) 1996 Daihatsu mini truck. It has tiny tires. I wasn't looking forward to dealing with the tire shop because I would prefer to replace the tires one at a time while powder coating the rims between tire removal and new tire installation. Not a problem when doing all of the work myself. I'll static balance the tires as well.
Yeah i do it all myself even the balance of the tires
@ the <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="230">3:50</a> mark I struggled...but I got it. You did a great job showing us how it's done. Thanks for posting.
OK, impressive how quickly you did that. I'm thinking that tire hadn't been on that rim for too many years, but still, I'm keen to try it. I have a tire I want to inspect the inside. I'd seen my father do this years ago, but don't remember it going this well! Now, show us how you balance it in your driveway. Thanks for the video.
I will post another video soon on how to brake a bead different and I will do the complete tire changing and balancing
tire4coin is best for tires
GREAT VIDEO BROTHER, WE NEED MORE PEOPLE WHO CAN FIX THEIR OWN STUFF!!!!
Thanks I agree
Really cool bro, thanks...i have used other techniques that were good but the 4 x 4 method is the best so far...i really appreciate you taking the time to show us how it's done!
Hell yeah dude
You sir, done this faster than the 'professionals' at the garage I last took my car too to get tyres changed, hats off to you!
Easy work. I keep coming back and watching this. I'm about to start changing my own tires. I do all my own maintenance already. Hate going to tire shops and spending money just for installation
Yes i feel that its faster at home thanks
