Just bought one myself. thank you, Sir, for posting.

I do all of my tires on this machine I was having a ton of problems trying to set the beads on the tire before you can air the tire up. I don’t mess around with a ratchet strap or anything else. I use the fire trick and it works painlessly every single time. I set the tire on the ground. Then I spray a little brake parts cleaner in between the tire and rim and over the tire onto the ground as a wick. I light the wick and it causes a little explosion inside the tire and forces both beads into place. I never struggle with this step anymore. Make sure you don’t use a lot of brake parts cleaner, ether, or any flammable spray etc. or this can be extremely dangerous. Less is more.

I have the same setup and the same tire bead lubricant. You mentioned that water can cause rust on the wheel and when I got that lubricant I read the instructions on it and it's supposed to be diluted 4:1 with water. So much for preventing rust.

Keep your eye out at auctions or sales for one of those bead setter air tanks. I got ahold of one for $35 so I just fill it before I change the tire and use that instead of farting around with trying to set the bead. All my tires seem to need work on Sunday morning when I need to use the equipment they are on. Good video.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Yeah I’ve been thinking about getting one, lol yeah tires always seem to go flat right when you need them

[@shawnlapoint276]

Good old starting fluid. Dose the trick for me

[@jamesthreats5800]

❤you sir are a boss! I'm gonna get a bead setter

[@hard2getitrightagain314]

The new black tire stand is superior to the old red one. I am pleased with mine.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Yes, I seen where people had trouble with the red ones but so far mine has been trouble free

[@ghilreese3413]

You could have brushed the sealant around the rim where you cleaned up. The sealant seals the bare metal. Good luck with the dump trailer tires. Thanks for the videos.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Now that you mention that I always see the tire shops put sealant/lube on the tires and the rim, definitely will be doing that next time, thanks for the tip!

[@williamdejeffrio9701]

Just an observation: when you were installing the new tire you have the installer upside down. At the very end of the pole, the wide part has a notch that is designed to ride the rim and the narrow part faces upward and guides the bead downward over then rim. You would have had a much easier time using it correctly.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Thanks for the info I will take that into consideration on the next one

[@johnbethel9369]

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🏆

[@frankmagnatta4367]

What is the cost.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

I think I paid $45 on sale, reg price I think is $69

[@highseed69]

IT CALLED A WHEEL NOT RIM. the rim is the outer part of a wheel. the outer bead seat is edge that the tire bead seats on the WHEEL

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Thanks for enlightening me on your wealth of knowledge about wheels

[@flapjackcity1212]

Highseed A Rim Job is A Rim Job.. What’s it matter!!!

[@Travis_Altizer]

did you go to “discount tire university” too?

[@garagekeys]

Yes I had to tell my wife to work my rim not my wheel

[@MLMcCarren]

Rim is perfectly acceptable. If you've never heard it - i. e. "Got a new set of rims." - then you've led a sheltered life.
