Easy ways to break a tire bead at home using simple tools! DIY

[@Miloboa]

now THIS is the tutorial i was looking for. i wasn’t expecting this video to just have my scissor jack and my tow hitch as apart of it. love it.

[@fshammann]

All these years of driving on a 2X to break beads, and today I used a scissor jack under my hitch. So much easier! Thanks dude!

[@KC9UDX]

I've done it many times but the last two times things went very bad. Never doing it again

[@vanvisualmedia2821]

@@KC9UDX what went wrong?

[@KC9UDX]

@@vanvisualmedia2821 lifted the vehicl off the ground, couldn't get a bead to break (they would move slightly) and got nowhere. Risked all kinds of problems with heavy vehicles on a jack on a springy tyre. Lots of sweat, lots of near misses, and zero progress.

[@vanvisualmedia2821]

@@KC9UDX oh wow. Were the valve cores pulled out? Thats crazy it still wouldnt break

[@KC9UDX]

@@vanvisualmedia2821 yes. I never had a problem in the past. I can't even imagine what's different but it sure is frustrating. Makes no sense.

[@mpsaw1990]

Used the scissor jack. Worked excellent. Way too easy. Thank you!

[@jimowens381]

The absolute best video I've ever seen on this subject. I'm wanting to change my tpms sensors and this will make it so much easier

[@THOMMGB]

Really well done and no wasted time. I was surprised there were three different methods. And they all worked. Thank you.

[@jameshall4385]

Once you start breaking the bead you should spray some soapy water in it. It really helps to slip the tire off

[@TheDaninator]

Yep, good point!

[@arnoldpare2064]

the best DIY tire bead breaker i've seen, thank you sir.

[@leepatterson4435]

wow, very nice. worked like a charm. Started with a bottle jack and didn't have enough travel so switched to a farm jack...worked great. Thanks for the tip!

[@kearaallbee5644]

Thankyou for the multiple ways

[@traylei3731]

This tutorial is top tier my hats off to you sir.. exactly what i needed to see 👍🏽

[@johnf6545]

I need to replace a few valve stems on winter rims, was considering some POS tire bead breaker from princess auto then found your video, that scissor jack method looks easy peasy, will give it a go, thanks man!

[@MihaiOctavianPopescu]

About method to roll over your tire: It will possibly damage the treaded surface. To avoid that, just put some spacers (like a wood 4x4" or 2 pieces of 2x4") under the "wooden ramp", just to limit the compression on tire, and not to squise the threaded part flat.

GOOD DIY , GOOD SHORCUT , EMERGENCY THANK U FOR SHARING , GOOD TECHNIC THANK U

[@ruhlsontheroad3822]

Thanks for the inspiration. I used the the Scissor Stabilizer jack on my RV trailer and it worked perfectly. Thanx!

[@TheDaninator]

Great to hear!

[@karlbe8414]

Thanks, best method that I have seen on youtube!. I found a tire with aluminum rim on the curb and just wanted the rim. Ended up cutting off the bead with angle grinder...after cutting both entire side walls with utility knife...waay too much work. I have a scissors jack, but would have to hunt for the other end for jack to push off of. Al rim, at least 10 bucks at scrapyard.

[@grahamchabot8019]

Nice work, best video on the topic

[@lestertejeda4143]

Thank my friend im gonna use this

[@barnshenanigans1589]

Good ideas and great video! I used to use the front tire of my 4x4 truck to drive up onto the sidewall to pop the bead of tires off. Anymore I'm spoiled and use one , if not both of my front loader tractors buckets to push down and pop the bead. Keep up the great work!

[@TheDaninator]

Thanks! Gotta use what you got handy!

[@DenverChiropractor]

Now that looks do able and safe!

[@francissalazar2957]

I wonder who’s the freaking genius that came up with that idea and improvised something like that the idk if it was the guy in the video or if he got it from someone else ! Either way he showed us and I thank him for that life saver tip 👍🏼💪🏼❤️ he’s the best

best so far thx

[@robertpotvin8872]

if you can grab an old bumper jack,at the scrap yard,,they are made to lift and break the bead as welll!!

[@donvoll2580]

Good day The side opposite of valve stem is the longest on rim & the hardest to take off. I use farm jack & do opposite first , seems to go a little easier. Thanks

[@timothywoods6557]

Best video yet.Good job

[@baptistefamily6620]

Thank you so much...great video

[@butterfinger1171]

9/16 paddle bit with tip broke in an impact driver works good for cranking the bottle jack

[@TheDaninator]

Excellent idea, thanks!

[@CavemanVanDweller]

It's one of the fastest ways to extract teeth...

[@abytc2023]

I watched this video and read the comments. Now I have two choices: 1. Your methods. Risks: Vehicle damage, flying jack damaging my mouth, teeth, and face. 2. Paying $25 at a tire shop per tire including labor and disposal. 4 tires=$100. Spending the $100 might just be worth avoiding the risk to damaging my teeth. I can always earn the $100, or I could just not spend $100 in some other aspect in my life, or I can perform another repair or service to my car and break even cash-wise.

[@kebaldwin8090]

Does this damage the tire at all ?

[@skulledmonte84]

I bought me the Heavy Duty XB-550 BeadBuster. Works Great. I can carry it with me. And it will break down alot of different sizes,car,truck, atv, tractors

[@TheDaninator]

That’ll do it 👍

[@Soldier622]

Very helpful... You got one for putting a tire on a rim? I've only got my scissor jack, impact wrench,

[@scottschmidtmann2540]

Great video! Loved the intro, too!😂

[@TheDaninator]

Thanks! 😁

[@invisibletrailglow836]

Great video

[@orig66Super]

Thanks I’m going to try this method.

[@drumsofsuccess]

Good stuff!

[@magikamos]

I’m pretty handy and totally get the concept of this; HOWEVER, I’m on my 4th tire (changing TPMS sensors for incompatibility) and this SUCKS! I’m using the bottle jack method and found a socket that matches my spinning handle. Without an impact driver, I’m sure I would have the cops called on me by now. Maybe my tires have a firmer sidewall, maybe something else, but it isn’t anywhere near as quick as your video depicts it. I’m seriously debating buying one of the prefab models in case I ever have to do this again. $80 would have been WELL SPENT on my 3-4 hour mark. No matter what I do, regardless of the angle I start at, the jack starts to slide outward to the middle of my sidewall. I applaud your mastery of this, but I feel like you should include the heartache it took to gain that proficiency.

[@markb3129]

Never thought of using the jack to break the bead on a tire, I usually use a digging spade and a long piece of pipe stuck in the receiver on my truck. ✌🏻

[@tasha3757]

I was going to use the wood & 4x4 method, but not only would I need to sweet talk my parent's into borrowing their 4x4, I'd risk damaging my rims. The jack method it is!

[@Charlee-w1u]

thanks

[@daffyduk77]

could you use a big G-clamp round the tyre instead ? just a thought

[@sbjScrapLab]

my jack some how went straight through the tire. but this tire is torn in other places so im assuming its the tires fault or my own. i just couldnt get it off

[@alan6832]

I'm wondering how hard it would be to shape the end of an old fence post and then use it with my post hammer like a slide hammer type bead breaker but cheaper. I also might try the scissors jack method.

[@maroonburgundy5720]

Why don't you use soapy water to loosen up the tire from the rim?

[@tomcarpenter700]

I did that years ago with a bumper Jack,,,,,,,,,

[@robertpotvin8872]

a little bit of dish washing liquid ,helps a lot,,,use it diluted ,otherwise too slippery,lol😉✌

[@squid667]

We tried the jack method on an old set of tires today. But instead of a scissor jack and a tow hitch we used an old Bilstein jack from a VW Bus and one of the support beams on the terrace on the backside of the house. It was surprisingly easy. Some of the beads came right off with hardly any effort. Now we just have to get the loose rims out of the tires. I also think there are some tubes in there. It probably says a lot about how old these tires are.

[@alan6832]

I always had more trouble with the beads than with any other part, though I did invest in a couple of tire spoons at Tractor Supply, the 2 way bend tire spoon is the most important, that and a couple of crow bars, hitting them sideways with a mallet when necessary lets you wrestle them off, and except for balancing, putting them on is still easier.

[@randymccalla9995]

great video.. Just would like remind everyone...dont get any part of their body close to the jack should it pop out from under the hitch.. you might be like my uncle whom after being hit in the face with a bumper jack has no facial expressions on the right side of face permanently 😢

[@angelf9800]

Would using the jack method messed up the tire

[@JamallWilliamH]

Thank you!!!!!

[@murldewaynegreen]

I always start breaking the bead away from the valve stem.

[@daver681]

Can you make a adapter for your impact gun to put in that screw bottle jack, just weld something flat on a old socket or what ever.

[@chemicalspore]

To do this, i gotta buy a truck with a hitch

[@rocknrollermann]

Most show using scissor jack w/ bigger end on the tire.

[@peterevans8194]

Smaller end concentrates the downward force on to a smaller section of the bead...In theory, i would have thought it would work better this way, but try it both ways and see...

[@snivvelslurderagementai2560]

I am trying this for the first time. but damn, the bead does not want to break all the way around. I tried on multiple sides, but it just comes right back up. I tried jumping on it as while it was compressed. what in the hell is going on? is this some kind of tire from hell?

[@Carlo-j1b]

it seems the rim is blocked on the floor, plese let me know how it is possible press one side without elevate the other side free from the pressure of the car

[@claudemcwhorter]

Good Stuff !

[@FranciscoPilataxi]

Excelente!!!

[@tbo7756]

If you're using a 4x4 and backing up on it, want to be certain the block of wood doesn't hit the rim when you back onto it. Can flip the tire up and cause a crinkle in the quarter panel....shit!

[@radioguy1620]

seems like you are lifting the truck with the edge of the rim. maybe put a two by 4 on the bottom tire underneath so you are lifting on that and doubles the breaking power, maybe just let it sit like that a few minutes and wait for the adhesion of the tire to give way and not stress out the rim and bend it .

[@driverslqqk7940]

That's great but you didn't show how to get the tire off using the breaker bars in between the rim and the tire and prying with lots of muscle and force this is the easiest part you can do

[@Hamid-az]

What happened after pressing and destroying the tire?😂😂😂

[@LifewithJames]

Those low profile tires are a pain. I’d rather break the bead on atv tires than a low profile car tire.

[@frajtak5]

okej Pollen

i mean its a good method im not gonna lie ill definitely use it but I don't think it will help with a low profile tyre and lets face it nowadays most people use the low profile ones
