Hill billy beadbreaker

[sly400ex]

Even after jumping up and down on the bumper, I still couldn't get the damn tire off!!!!! What gives!?!?!?:huh

[muff]

yeah that sucks, i tried to get a set of all tracs off but it was a wasted effort, i guess the only sollution is to cut them off, or do burnouts til they bust out holes and fall off

i've never thought of the truck idea but it seems like that'd work

try turning the truck around so you have the weight of the engine on it

[sly400ex]

just tried with the front and it still didn't break!!! That's over 2000lbs...!!!!! WTF!!!!!

wow

did you take the pressure out of the tire?

[tants]

that deff is the hillbilly way to brake a tire :D

just bring it to the closest tire shop...

[hondaracer31]

I'm not surprised...I've tried a bulldozer(it weighed 5 tons), it worked with some effort.
:huh

[sly400ex]

Yeah, the tire is actually flat!! Man, this is pi$$ing me off, I have just spent so much on other stuff.....The local shops want $25 a tire to change!!!

[muff]

yeah they charge $25 here to, I usually go to a car tire place to get it done, much cheaper

[TravEX]

i tried to that with my truck too!

Wal-Marks told me that they had a policy that they can only put ATV tires ON and are not allowed to break ATV tires down,,,i found an old man that had a gas station and a tire machine, and he broke it down no problem,,,find you a shop that has a tire machine (the horizontal type, cause the type where they just stand the tire up and try to break it down that way don't work to well),,,

[AtvMxRider]

Try putting a little air in the tire then try it.

jig saw and cuttin pliars does the trick, that is if i cant break the bead :macho

[Knight440]

Stuiped Question but did you take the valve stem out well not the stem but the valve?

try that, and put a 2X4 across it and drive the truck over the 2X4 over the side of the tire,,,

[flyin#5]

Tire removal tool

[skinrider440]

i get mine changed for 5$ a tire at the goodyear shop in my town

[jay's 300]

$25 a tire!!? Dang, they only charge about $5-8 here.

I would just cut it off before I'd spend that much! :devil

[killed300ex]

lol i ended up using a bucket loader with forks lol. made it the same sixe of the outer diamiter fo the rim and boom it poped right off. Its so hard to get them to come off lol the big trctor tires at my farm are eiser to break

Put a lil air in it then run it over , it worked for me.

Freestyle is right you need to leave at least 2 -3 lbs of air in it...:macho

[killed300ex]

wow i would think that that would just bust a whole in the tire not break the bead cool crap it it works though lol. IM up for hill billyways to change a tire.

whoa haha i thought this said hill billy heartbreaker lol, uh we use a old fashioned tire machine, if not we use tire irons and some air

[Foxrage]

This is how i change all my tires and rimes its really easy if you know how to do it and have the right bord. Anyway i always take the valve stem out.never had a tire stay on doing it this way.

[cheetah]

That's how I did mine. Try pulling the tire out a little more so you can drive up on one whole side of the tire. You may have to cut your wheels back and forth a little too.

watch out taking it to car tire shops they dont realize that it says 25 psi max to inflate, the overinflated my freinds and ruined the tire

[DEAL]

They are also pretty tough on alunimum rims.

[JUSTINcredible]

Drive over the side of the tire and not right on the middle like that and it will work for sure.. i got my tires off the bead doing that with my little car

[sly400ex]

Alright, I feel dumb.....I didn't take out the valve, will that really make that much of a difference???? No laughing please!:p

I dont see why not trying it?

oh u need a little tool to do it, he doesnt mean take the whole valve just the little thing on the inside

[lil400exman]

if you bought it used they use thisz tire glue to make it sit what i needed to do was work it with three guys kutt the tire then take a grinder and kutt the bead off cause the bead on ohtsu radials is the same as a car tires ys its that thick and then with the vinyl glue it was so hard to break it took us 3 hours with a hydroliac tire breaker a sawzall and akchol my friend just burned the tire off.................just make sure it was at night....................and it didnt discolor his rims..................just let them kool off good.........................

[jesshamner]

Rico is right. You should leave about 2 or 3 psi in it and it breaks itself off the bead when you run over it. My tire guy changes them for $10 but he told me the trick so I didn't have to come back and pay the money. I don't think he likes atv tires too much.

[SGA]

Yes, it breaks the bead much easier with air in it. Now the trick. Once one side is busted off, put some air back in, enough where it seals the tire, but not enough to reseat the bead, about five pounds or so. That makes breaking the other bead much easier.

[quadfamily]

Yopu just answered my question. I was going to say " that's great but how do you break the other side?"

uuuuhhh.. well when we bought the new tires for the rancher it took 45 lbs to seat the godda/\/\n bead and a propane tank rapid inflator for vig truck tires to get them on.

[muff]

lol talk about pumpin up tires, one time i ran 33 psi in my recon tires cause in the book it said 33psi not 3.3 psi, and so my dad and i pumped them up,,,talk about a rough ride

no, take the board where it was and move it 6" to one side and slide it up, that way its covering all of the tire and not infront of the rim

[300EXrider02]

i get tires here changed for free! one place charged me 8$ for both once tho

[LilGuyOn400ex]

if u have a farm and fleet, or a hard ware store like that they always do my tires for 5 bucks a tire...

you use the forklight to run over the side, i'll have to try this i never thought of doin that specially since my truck wasn't sucessful:huh

[Predator36]

I welded together a bead breaker a little like they show in the Harbor Freight catalog only a lot heavier and with more leverage. On stock Yamaha wheels I will run as much as 8 lbs of pressure to break the bead loose. I then put enough pressure in the tire to hold it in place but not enough to seat the bead to break the other side loose. For leverage I use an eight foot pipe and can punch a hole thru the side wall if I am not carefull. The foot that pushes against the tire is a curved 2 inch by 5 inch piece of 1/4 inch steel.

[ridesa00400EX]

what bout a bead breaker? i saw an ad in dirtwheels for one. seems liek it would work if your trying to do what i think u r

[da_rider26]

i used hill billy style.... grinder and wire cutters

The way I use the forklift is. I will push the tire up against a wall. THe push the fork just under the lip of the rim. Then I will move the forklift forward a little to put pressure against the rim. THe I let the forks go down. It pups them every time. The forks on this fork are pretty big heavy. The tire is no match.
