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

[@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.

[@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

[@lestertejeda4143]

Thank my friend im gonna use this

[@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!

[@Victor-DOOM]

Absolutely brilliant

[@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!

[@staszekv8]

Super idea!

[@orig66Super]

Thanks I’m going to try this method.

[@totalpkg6912]

best so far thx

[@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

[@JamallWilliamH]

Thank you!!!!!

[@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

[@Johnsmith-zi9pu]

Simple and a tool that everyone has.

[@invisibletrailglow836]

Great video

[@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.

[@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!

[@mcqueenfanman]

0:36 I use that to install a new valve stem along with a box end wrench to pry it in place.

[@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. ✌🏻

[@FranciscoPilataxi]

Excelente!!!

[@b_wilk98]

I've been fighting this damn tire for over an hour. Thank you!

[@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 👍

[@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!

[@scottschmidtmann2540]

Great video! Loved the intro, too!😂

[@TheDaninator]

Thanks! 😁

[@robertpotvin8872]

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

[@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...

[@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.

[@tomcarpenter700]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 😢

[@robertpotvin8872]

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

[@Teddy_Vilardi]

I lifted my van off the ground before it finally came off.

[@kebaldwin8090]

Does this damage the tire at all ?

[@claudemcwhorter]

Good Stuff !

[@stanw5279]

Soapy water is your friend!

[@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

[@JT-sr3cv]

Hell yeah brother. Ima use my shop press. Thank you. $20 labor per tire ! Shittt give me a break

[@murldewaynegreen]

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

[@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...

[@maroonburgundy5720]

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

[@chemicalspore]

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

[@TheDaninator]

Your Camaro could do it 😎

[@chemicalspore]

@@TheDaninator whoa buddy, let's not be hasty

[@michaelmaya7742]

@@TheDaninator i tried using a 8ft 4×4 wooden post but tires are too thin and keep sliding off and flipping tires, even when I was on, seal wouldn't break!

[@josephdawhan3639]

Silly.... I just do this at the mall after finding a truck with a hitch.

[@user-wr3gp8hj3i]

@@josephdawhan3639oh no not the mall crawler!!

[@Snowly06]

This just broke my jack😂

[@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!

[@angelf9800]

Would using the jack method messed up the tire

[@MasonColemanWright1234]

7:17

[@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?

[@haf-oq3vt]

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

[@mintpool4053]

It doesn’t show how to take out the tire … plz post the complete video

[@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 .

[@lukasbaumgartner4303]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ha ha ha ha ha

[@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

[@LifewithJames]

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

[@lukasbaumgartner4303]

predved nám ako prezuvas pneumatiku tu čo máš na aute a potom mi povedz že je to hračka a či si to aj prezul 😂😂😂😂😂

[@cvetanbakalov2566]

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

[@user-wv9qe6jt7p]

The tire is junk once you smash the tread

[@dong1228]

i did that on my f-15but some tire i mounted it so hard to filled air , need a bead blaster
