One little trick that he did that he didn't mention, but he did do it. Every rim has a "drop centre" that's the little gully in the centre section. When you're prying off a tire over the rim, you want the opposite edge of the tire located in that little gully. That gully is what allows the tire enough movement to go out from the lip of the rim and over it.

[@jamalmcgrath810]

Thanks for mentioning that, I had struggled in the past and found that gully. You too are very intuitive ! Thanks.

[@randolphtaylor9226]

[@mikepicard5437]

This is GREAT thank you! A couple things I will do differently, combining the comments other people posted here is: 1. put a old towel or cardboard down between driveway and wheel, 2. work from the back side surface of the wheel (front side down) to keep the front unmarred , 3. Use tire irons, maybe some kind of plastic coated pry tool, 4. Make sure of tire direction when I remount the tires, by marking the inward facing surface of the tire (on masking tape) with what wheel they go on, what side of truck they were on, and an arrow to line up with valve stem. I have wider rears than fronts (wheels) Of course I really appreciate the video for us DIY folks with simple tools most everyone has, like screwdrivers, regular hammer and tweezers instead of a valve tool! Excellent. I am going to paint my 1964 C10 stock rims but I want to do them with out tires on, I have seen tutorials to paint wheels with tires still on but I just can’t do it - want to paint the entire wheel, both sides, and not have a gap on the rim edge or overspray on the tires...and “I got more time than money” to pay someone to dismount and remount. This technique might be same time as doing all that masking on both sides of 4 wheels anyway, and I could use the exercise haha

Enjoyed watching the video using a tire wrench or flatbread screwdriver on the front side of the rim Willmar the rim you definitely will damage the rim by putting those two tools in there

Removing and replacing the tyre from the rear of the rim instead of the front of the rim would definately be my preference. Avoid tyre lever marks on the front of the rim especially if its alloy.

[@wanderer4701]

I used to repair flat tires using simple fiber based plug, but now they say the repair is unsafe and, therefore, not recommended. So I was looking for an inexpensive and easy way of taking tire off the rim and remount it after repairing the flat. When I was younger I saw people remove/mount without using power tools like this young man is doing. They used two pieces of leaves out of a leaf spring suspension and a big hammer. This man uses a tire iron and a heavy-duty screw driver. Anyway, it is nice to see that this job still can be done at home. Repairing tires can be done, I think, this way at home, but anything that requires balancing the tire still needs a trip to a shop that has the right tool. Thank you for showing this video.

[@floydhorslerjr8422]

Putting a plug in a tire is ok for a roadside repair but a patch is always been the best way to fix it. As far as balance.

The Owner's Manual for my 1965 Chrysler shows to put the bumper jack bottom on the tire to push up against the bumper to break the bead loose, though they don't show then prying the tire off the rim. Today's drivers are so wimpy that cars don't even come with a spare. I swapped a 13" trailer tire manually and it was tough. I followed the same method, but prying the tire off was much harder than shown. The main trick when prying is to hold the opposite side of the bead down in the valley where the diameter is smaller, giving just enough room to slide the bead over the rim.

Yeah the 4x4 is a good tool also so many ways of breaking beads, I’ve tried all sorts of ways

[@lewis2553]

That was smart, the way you broke it down. I'll have to try that. Dad taught me how to drive up on the edge of tire right beside the rim and go around it a little bit til it breaks down, but your way is better -- less risk of damaging the tire that's on the car. One thing you failed to explain to the audience,though, is that while you are working the tire off and back onto the rim with your tools, you need to occasionally push it to the valley in the middle of the rim on the opposite side, 180° from the part you are working on. That gives you more slack in the bead to work it over the rim with the tools. I thought the toughest part was where you were trying to get that last little bit of the first side back onto the rim, and you were working inside the tire, almost, with the tools. I've put over 35 patches on the inner tube of my right front tractor tire (before finally resorting to Slime) because of wild pear thorns. I find it easier to put the tire back on the rim by working from the rim side with a pry bar, not the tire side. You did a great job, though!👍 It was a good instructional video. Thank you. God bless you for sharing this knowledge.

Thanks - I did it that way (driving onto a board). The first one was not stable enough, but the second board was a go. I reversed the car on a bit, then I stopped the car and jumped additionally onto the tyre - that did the trick. I just wanted to put a new valve in. In line with Murphy's law, the valve fell into the tyre. I then added a bit of garden hose with duct-tape onto a vacuum cleaner and sucked the valve out again. Being more careful now, I placed the valve into position with a plastic cap on and then grabbed the valve by the cap with pliers to pull it thru (after having applied grease)... All good.

Definitely a easy one he did, one in 5 maybe 10! Didn't show him inflating it either, which can be tough money sometimes! It is best done with the valve core left out till you get beads seated on the rim again, allows for a greater volume of air which will help immensely! Sometimes you have to spray in a little ether and light it to get the beads to seat again! I was manually mounting tires before this dude was born! lol

I will post another video soon on how to brake a bead different and I will do the complete tire changing and balancing

[@jameslee4845]

This might be the easiest way to take a tire off. This is genius and I feel stupid for not thinking of it. Cheers!

[@mattharper588]

They have been doing this for years in different procedures they show how they can do it with a floor jack and a 2/4

[@bobkozalov8821]

I first learned how to do this 50 years ago in Canada. I'm just surprised this knowledge took so long to trickle down to the states.

[@gavinrhodes1593]

@@bobkozalov8821 well that was 50 years ago. guys 50 years ago in the US know how to do it too. but the knowledge from your generation hasn’t been passed down correctly to mine so not all of us guys know how to do it here

[@Gbienek1]

I’m a Scrapper and I obtained 8 aluminum rims from a customer with the tires still on and I was trying to figure out how to remove them and I’m gonna try this!!!

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Give it a shot you can do it

[@blythkd9017]

I've actually done similar stuff in a parking lot in the middle of the night in a pinch. Didn't have a 4x4, just backed a trailer tire up on the flat tire on the ground and finished beating it off the rim with a ball peen hammer then removed the tire from the rim with 2 big screwdrivers. Amazing what you can figure out when you're in a bind.

[@rvqx]

I broke the bead by driving over the tire, right next to the rim. But maybe this can damage the tire.

[@Ratlins9]

I like the 4x4 idea to break the bead, very simple and fast, good video.

[@yourownambition2450]

I can’t say thank you enough. I was using a small set of tire tools and getting no where. I appreciate it fella.

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Thanks for watching

[@lesterfougere6923]

Man,I’ve got one of those Manuel tire changers and it usually takes me around 45 minutes per tire. What your doing is what I used to do to remove my bike tire to patch the tube back in the 60’s. If I wouldn’t of seen it with my eyes I would of doubted it could be done that quick. Awesome man,love the video and I’m subscribed,thanks,that is sweet

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Thank you sir

[@scottbarber1795]

The last step, angling the assembly and using your foot to seat the tire onto the rim, is a great idea IMHO, thanks!

[@randybungo2941]

That’s a brilliant use of a 4x4 beats my hand lever breaker. I knew you were going to do that once I saw ramp cut on 4x4 . Genius !tire irons made out of harbor freight pry bars work even better. I got a video from 3 yrs ago on my channel , Taking a tire off wheel old time hand tools.

Thanks i will go check out your video

[@mistergriffin3239]

My brother, thank you so much for this. I cant express how thankful I am for you perfect straight forward tutorial and level headed perfect explinations.

[@moorefab8192]

Great idea for breaking the bead. I always used a floor jack and ratchet strap. It works good but your way is faster. One tip though, the center of the rim has a smaller circumference, so when removing and installing the tire, you put the bead into that lower area in the center of the rim and it goes off and on much easier. In fact 9 outta 10 times I can put the tire back on with no tools. Just my body weight on it.

[@Diyfix777]

So the tire kind of pancakes in on itself ?

[@moorefab8192]

@@Diyfix777 it just allows the tire to off center to the rim. That way you can work it around the rim. That’s a tough one to explain but once you do it, you’ll see what I mean right away.

[@twiftwiford8975]

Just one comment, when taking off or putting on a tire what helps me was step on the opposite side of the tire so the rim of the tire will give you more tire rim to help put the tire back on or off. I hope this makes sense. I do love the 4X4 idea. I seen it done by driving on the tire and I seen it done by using a huge sledge hammer. Thanks again for the tip.

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Yes you have a good point that works better

[@clarissamcatee4724]

I found some mud terrain tires with good tred at the dump sadly they where dodge rims but with this video I was able to get them on my ford and it looks badass now. Thank you

[@nitinkamble1123]

Out of all the methods I tried, this was the easiest. Thanks for making my life easy for replacing the dead TPMS sensors on my car.

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Yeah no problem

[@musicmugger666]

I used to remove and replace tyres in my garage in the sixties like that. You never use a steel hammer, because one slip, and you can rip the rubber. He should be using a rubber mallet. Two long tyre levers would be handy for all car DIYers, they are cheap, and have a number of uses. He was lucky the tyre was so easy to work with. They are not normally that friendly, especially if they are wide ally rims. Even my machine has trouble sometimes

[@8307c4]

I have a good 20 or so wheels in my business, most are easier but I do have 2 trailer, 4 pickup truck and 4 car... And they are definitely not always easy, I have fought and struggled more than a few times... Takes a lot of practice, best I can tell you, personally I like the 3 tire irons method but whatever works, I also like to clamp a Vise Grip in a spot to keep the bead from slipping back off while putting it on. Again, whatever works and yes seating the bead can be painful as well.

[@JT-lm3sj]

@@8307c4 if you're not in a hurry to change the tire then just wedge something into the tires on 2 or 3 places to hold the rubber apart for a day or 2 and you can seat the bead quite easily as the tyre is touching the rim then.

[@fast68chevy]

yah wrong hammer and so many more wrong things too.. he picked th cleanest nicest easiest one to do by hand lolloll

[@ultimatesoccershow]

GREAT VIDEO BROTHER, WE NEED MORE PEOPLE WHO CAN FIX THEIR OWN STUFF!!!!

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Thanks I agree

[@Shellshock361]

Easy work. I keep coming back and watching this. I'm about to start changing my own tires. I do all my own maintenance already. Hate going to tire shops and spending money just for installation

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Yes i feel that its faster at home thanks

[@bbb8949]

Also sometimes the tires are a little tighter fitting so if you step on the part of the tire that's already seated and pushed the bead down in the middle you won't rip the bead if it's too tight to put on I've learned that the hard way before chewed up a bead to a tire remember sometimes you have to keep the tire pushed down from the rim to finish the last part of placing the tire on the rim or you may tear it

[@trreb1]

Not bad. I've been doing my own like that for years and I won't use a screw driver doing this. The tire iron you had works but if you have one that's longer and use that crow bar it'd be much easier do to better leverage. Also, when you put that tire back on and the bead keeps slipping off the rim as you work around it, I use a pair of vise grips to keep the bead from slipping. You might not want to use them on a mag rim unless it's no good and be careful using them on aluminum rims also. Over all this was a great video. Love the truck.

[@luckyfinder8554]

Absolutely awesome trick fro breaking the tire bead! Mr. 1974Cherolet C10 rocks! I worked up a sweat for an hour using c-clamps, hammer and bars with no luck. Then I saw this video and I did the hard part of the job sitting in my Jeep with the A/C running.

that hood is a 79 or 80 hood but the rest is before 79. see that line across front edge eof hood? thats only in 79 and 80. but the HL bezels and other parts are before 79.

[@andycalcutt2177]

Wow, great video, SOO much quicker and easier than trying to break the bead by running over the edge of the rim with a vehicle. Of course not as much rim scuffing as well. When I was a teenager using my method, the tire actually went flying sideways about ten feet and almost took out my father. Great stuff man, keepum coming.

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

There is many ways of doing it

[@ados1980cz]

@@ChevroletC10andNova I just used the jack trolley and strap method to break the bead and because it was old tyres I did cut them around the rim and then cut the remaining 'belt' off with angle grinder, carefully on the top of a screwdriver to not to hit the rim. Was overall trying to not to damage the rim in any way, trying to refurbish them after removing the tyres.

[@jamesharris4695]

Im about to replace a bad tire on my truck and this video refreshed a memory of me replacing/repairing bicycle tires when i was a kid

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Yes its similar

[@Liberty4Ever]

You made that look easy, but even assuming it takes me three times as long using my nice Motion Pro motorcycle tire tools and rim guards, you have given me the confidence to replace the tires on my new (to me) 1996 Daihatsu mini truck. It has tiny tires. I wasn't looking forward to dealing with the tire shop because I would prefer to replace the tires one at a time while powder coating the rims between tire removal and new tire installation. Not a problem when doing all of the work myself. I'll static balance the tires as well.

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Yeah i do it all myself even the balance of the tires

[@buffwheel]

Nice job. Two suggestions if already not mentioned. Make sure your tire is the right rotation before putting on the rim. Mark with a marker where the tire and valve line up and put accordingly with other rim.( to keep balance close as possible)

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Thanks for the tip

[@walterhassard8257]

Excellent, my dad taught me to use a bumper jack to do this but those are a thing of the past, Thanks for posting

[@fast68chevy]

you can still find them in salvage yards, and you can buy farm jacks, which are a HD version and better than the old light weight bumper jacks.

[@michelleisle9005]

Instead of using soap there's something a little better. Diesel fuel or kerosene I find it's a little better than soap. It will slide around the rim a lot better. From Mark Kingston Springs Tennessee

[@FadetoBlack61]

I think i'll just stick to soap and water lol you'll end up reeking of diesel.

[@chrismeek589]

soap and water are fine but I spray a little silicon lube it's slicker

[@fast68chevy]

diesel fuel oil and etc ar enot good for tires at all.. realy bad... and thats a good way to mess up tires damage them.... if youre gonna use any petrolume or related then at least use something safer better for the tire rubber like silicone etc. hmm..

[@ai_university]

@@fast68chevy you're thinking of gasoline. Diesel is a lubricant, not a solvent like gas.

[@sentfromheaven00]

true but who has diesel or kerosene lying around

[@kenirwin276]

Another tip: Often the reinflation won't seat the rim because of air leakage and not enough air flow. I inflate tire before replacing air valve to seat rim, then install valve and inflate.

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Yeah there is many ways to do it

[@justone3243]

Thank you for that Mr. kenirwin276

[@LeRoisAdventures]

Very impressive. Great technique! A real mechanic has more than one way to accomplish the same thing. Thank you for showing me this trick. One suggestion. Always! Wear safety glasses when using tools! Also there’s companies that supply a valve stem that can be installed without breaking down the tire! Which I discovered, you guessed it! On KZbin.

[@ChevroletC10andNova]

Thanks for the tip good to know blessings

Very cool bro. Have wondered how this is done without the use of modern technology for a while now. Glad it can still be done.

It’s not about paying 20-30 dollars in a tire shop ! It’s about being able to do something like that in an emergency situation when you’re not in your city or on a trip and also to prove that stuff like that can be done without special tools and machinery only your bare hands and basic tools what’s impressive as well is that he did all that with his Jordans on and he still did a neat and professional work 👍🏼 thanks for the tip brother and god bless you ! sometimes you have to do what you can where you are with your hat you have
