I have 5 vw beetle rims to strip. thanks for making the vid. shows me exactly what I needed to know. I'll be getting the local tyre shop to do them lol ;)

Very cool. Thanks for posting this. Never even thought of doing it this way.

Great video sir. I have the same tools at home and never thought I could do that lol. Thank you.

Great job Chris! Who in hell wants to go and buy a manual bead-breaker / tire changer for a tire or two? This is perfect for disposing of those two bald snow tires that someone probably has and doesn't know what to do with. Yeah, there are better ways, but in the heat of the moment you just have to be able to rely on your own two hands to get a job done. Awesome video. Thanks!

thank you my long haired friend - this is spot on - got some rims to get out of some rotted tires...

@sow09 They Are The State Of The Art Invisible Sneakers. They Are The Best Thing To Wear When Working With Heavy/Sharp Tools That You Want To Stop From Smashing Your Toes.

Well done Brothe,r stay well, appreciate the help

This man shares an informative video and you ridicule his shoe-less feet...

Pretty slick, thanks!

Awesome and thanks for sharing this! Gonna try this in about 2-3 hours. \m/

Question- does this ruin the tire? I have a basically brand new full spare tire under my truck that I want to use, and replace with an older tire...I mean why let it go to waste and dry rot under there? Id only need it for emergencies, so why not replace it with an older tire? Anyway, would this damage the tire?

awesome ... a real man... give that guy a beer... i'll try this next time ... thanks!

LOVE the socks!

I'm trying this tomorrow hahaha thanks man!

Inspired from your video amongst others i had to try myself. deflate/breaking bead/remove/mount/inflate in less than 8 min. Uploading video right now. Feels like i grown pulling this off=) Thanks!

well i tried running over tires it does work sometimes to break the beads. But i actually use either a high lift jack which can get expensive but if you want to go cheaper to bust the seal go to a junk yard find a car from the 70's ish that has a bumper jack. think i paid $5 for one and it works just as well as the high lift.

Great idea about using the jack to break the bead...

@illcrewtk this is good for steel rims because it wont damage them as long as you dont go beating on them with a hammer to get a screwdriver or crowbar in to them, i have done this on tractor tires my entire life, i do not recommend doing this to aluminum rims as they will easily bend the lip of the rim and make the tire leak.

sweet! thanks bro

Thank you

OweSom! Thanx for the vid

Where do you find the tool to break the bead?

good job chris wow I didn't realize just post a simple clip could have so many harsh opinions

what did you use to push it down

good job!

Is the tire destroyed after this procedure? Can this method be used to inspect the inside for debris after a puncture?

seanyboymoney left a comment saying "it would come off a lot smother it you put soup and water around the bead good luck" it got removed some how so i reposted. my response was what kind of soup should i use. all that i usually have around the house is chunky and chicken noodle

that's real safe! no wonder osha is so busy!

Thumbs up for doing it in socks man! :)

nice!!. one other person holding the rim at stage 3 is a must:D

What kind of screwdriver is that and why didn't it break?

nice demo

i know i actually own a tire changing machine but i mad this video to prove a point to a buddy of mine cant remember what the argument was about now.

A LOT OF EFFORT! MAN. what do you think is necessary to know about your locality or district before buying a tyre changer machine?

you can get a high jack or i used a bumper jack which is kinda the same well kinda i got mine outta a 78 chevy biscane that my mom restored about 10 years ago

thanks bud

I like the jack way. Cool but where are your shoes? Haha

Good video! Thanks. Needed this info just now. :) Regards, Raggo, Norway.

Cool

used my backhoe bucket instead the truck hitch lol but definitley saved me a trip to the garage hehe

Like a boss

haha I like the no shoes. but anyways that's a great method saves a lot of money

Jobs a good'un. Thanks.

sweet. yer good dude.

Is it okay if i wear my boots? =P

One of My Friends taught Me how to do that In the early 1980'ss

@nobleheight lmao this was just to get metal for scraping i would hate to try and balance one by hand

Trying to get tires off the same gmc wheels in the video!

good luck its pretty easy once you figure it out though

love them steel toes

What takes you so long?

no you can use the tire after this you just have to be careful expecially if you are using a screwdriver not to puncture the tire. might want to practice on a junk tire first so you get the hang of it

too bad I dont have an old bumper jack like that anymore

oh at work i am usually only one that uses the first aid chest and it runs the owner about $200 a month in supplies to keep me from bleeding lol

Okay, so how the hell do you do this without damaging the rim?

this only works on tires with big sidewalls like truck tires

nice shoes bra

Nice job, there's some pacer truck rims at my local pull-a-part and I didn't think I had anything to get 'em but I should be able to find a jack and tire iron there when I go back tomorrow... though I may just bring a hacksaw, screw their tires, I just wanted the rims.

ok but i also want to buy me my 1st tyre changer machine but i dont know what i need to know about the clients and people of my locality or neighborhood before i spend more than 2000$ in the machine,, you have a shop you have more experience in this business ,can you give a tip or what i need to know before i spend the money.I know cars must drive around the place i will open the shop but what else?

I hear Metallica playing in the background!

Fucking youtube trolls. Good job dude. Your demonstration was effective.

It looks like you didn't take the air out of the tires lol

big tire are easy to remove from rim next time try the low profile tire

don't forget to take off your shoes guys! :)

No gloves, no shoes, no eye protection!

that's bs that screw driver would brake

I see busted knuckles and puncture wounds in your future

you neet the machin tire desmunting man. o.0

I have expensive rims so I guess this method is not for me

thanks man -subscribed! I will try it and get back!

why are you not wearing shoes I dont quite fully understand

why whats the worst that could happen lol

@rgs4x shoes who wears shoes anymore

Thanks for the jack usage tip, which will help me. :-) Here's a tip or three for you though. :-/ 1. Umm, the hand brake on that pik-erp: it operates on the back wheels, so even if you DID think to apply it, lifting the rear of the vehicle off the ground will diminish its function somewhat. Nobody ever jacks up a vehicle without chocking wheels, when the handbrake can't be applied. 2. Before attempting any job, get the right tools - or at least the best of what you already have. Using a jack lever instead of your hand might be smart. Ignoring the largest screwdrivers you have, much less a crowbar, and instead using a small/medium screwdriver? That's just weird. 3. Set a good example for your kid, as they absorb a lot more than you imagine - and it takes a LOT more to 'unlearn' a bad habit or bad example, that it takes to just do it right the first time. Wearing only socks in a workshop is a whole lot of dopey. Boots, fella. Boots.

put some shoes on hippy

The trick is not using shoes

This would be good for rims you don't give a shit about lol.

You did both steps the hardest most dangerous ways! You or one of your viewers are going to end up seriously hurting them self with your Jack All idea. And to mount the tire on the bead just spray starter fluid into the tire and light it on fire... It is Easier, Faster, and less dangerous.

whats wrong with that

Dude! You keep that method up and you can bet there's an injury in your future! Yeah it works, but an actual manual bead breaker/tire changer combo isn't going to cost any more than it will to fix up the injuries they you WILL eventually get. As to your comment "who wears shoes anymore?"...intelligent people who like having their toes.

with no shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could have baked a meatloaf in that amount of time. Geez! Looking for an easy way at a junk yard to get a tire off of a rim and this is not it!

put some shoes on

Don't try this at home ^^

i just have alot of issue even determining if ive gotten the bead seperate from the rim. i usually run over the wheel or ill drop the break drum and the full force of my truck down on the tire to get it off and that looks like it works a little bit. what are the most basic tools i can work with on this? i have a tire tool, a flat head thats like a few inches long, weight, and thats it.not successful most of da time with this tho
