The BeadBuster XB-550 Bead Breaker! Howto and Review - Breaking down tires just got super easy!

[@EssexSilvering]

Love it!!! ..... Love your comment ''it was to easy, something is wrong'' ... I say this all the time when I try out a new tool that works lol ... Thanks for sharing.

[@juancgomez4070]

Nice I have two vehicles and am tired of waiting IN line for just change a tire and so expensive an getting my own tools and do it thanks guys for review

[@johndowe7003]

just buy a set of tire irons and youre set

[@cameronduff884]

Thanks for the video, I didn't know that they made this bigger version, I see that they also have one with a quick change nose piece, handy for those rims with no gutter like a crown vic 16.

[@emfl4437]

Awesome tool. Need to get one for my garage

[@keysautorepair6038]

Must be a paid advertising my tire machine shop struggling getting tires off the bead and this guy makes it easier than a 10 grand machine.

[@lanedexter6303]

I have the (overpriced) XB-550. It works great if you can get it under the edge of the rim to start with. If you have tires like the Toyo Open Country M/T’s on two of my rigs, you can’t get it started because the tire has thick rubber near the bead that projects slightly above the edge of the wheel anD prevents anything from getting between tire and rim. The XB-550 will be useless; go to a bead breaker not dependent on gripping the rim.

[@andresramirez1266]

If you demount the first bead before flipping the tire to breaker the 2nd bead. The tire will stretch and the back bead easier to breaker.

[@MikeBarlett]

Great video. You mentioned using the XB-550 on your Rock Monsters. Seems like it should pull the wheel half out of the tire without marring the wheel. Can you confirm? Ive used tire spoons and it's not too much work but i'm gouging the wheel each time. Thanks!

[@olenaerhardt7725]

Did you use any devices to determine if the Bead Breaker is sitting vertically on the tire before you tighten the second (Ram) bolt, or just visual evaluation is sufficient? I have the BB-452, in instructions they are talking about 1/8" maximum gap between the rim and the central body of the BB to align the tool vertically. It is a bit confusing. Thank you for the great film.

[@bobsbarnworkshop]

the backside of the wheels are always tougher because the channel in the tire is closer to the front of the tire, that's why you should install and remove from the front sid eof the wheel, use the channel to your advantage

[@skulledmonte84]

Any bending of the foot area or any area ? And anyone had any issues with the bolts striping out the thread ?

[@lorrimorseramos3333]

Like to see a Daytona Timberline broke down.

[@shepss217]

Really cool little tool, doesn’t take up much room either

[@randyallen1544]

have you used it on rock monsters yet? it should separate things nicely, but does it before i buy one? thanks.....

[@Engineerboy100]

Good job, I have the XB-455 but I think it's a little small for car tires, I think I'm gonna grab this xb-550, so thanks.

[@teresareyes934]

Thank

[@michaeldurling793]

CPO, that's a cool tool but what about after the beads broken down? I've found getting the tire off/on the wheel is usually the most challenging part without an automatic tire changing machine or a manual one for that matter.

[@o3djeeps]

We broke down a couple of these tires with a couple of tire spoons... it's not what I would call fun...but it can be done without a machine. We also used a HF tire machine... the old school manual one, to pull the tire off the 33. For me... I have beadlocks... so once I break the bead, I can separate the two halves of the wheel easily... The hardest part for me is the bead.

[@michaeldurling793]

I watched your bead lock video and putting them together seems to be a breeze, so with those wheels you remove the bead lock ring on the front but still have to break the bead on the back, correct? I also wonder why there is only a lock ring on the front side, in theory when running low pressure on the rocks could not the rear bead get knocked off?

[@o3djeeps]

There isn't a "bead lock ring" on the hutchisons. It's literally two halves of a wheel bolted together inside the tire. And the beads set on the wheel just like in a traditional wheel. So while it's easy to unbolt and separate the halves... the beads front and back still need to be broken to pull the wheel apart.

[@michaeldurling793]

I guess I better go back and review, thanks

[@o3djeeps]

This product was actually recommended to me by a subscriber who has the hutchinsons and uses it to break the beads. I've seen other videos a guy disassembling these, and he uses "tire pliars" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmbKe4h3n9aYjdE) but I don't like those... this is a MUCH better option.

[@dosbox907]

its was killer till it broke. I found its weakness is rusty rims and loaning it to your 250lb carpenter buddy

[@drylakesranch9880]

never loan out tools

[@brandonmontz]

I'm curious if this would work without marring my 12-bolt H1 beadlocks. Also how would this work if you have PVC inserts.

[@FromThe3PointLine]

Nice

[@scottfrancis4672]

CPO, I have Hutchison Rock Monster wheels and don't have a problem spending the money for this tool, as long as I know that it would work with my wheels. Have you used it on your Hutchinson wheels?

[@randyallen1544]

yeah.... both of us want to know if you can break down rock monsters with it....

[@magicmikeinc]

I cant believe I am the only one that uses a floor jack and a ratchet strap . People these days are all about throw money at it.

[@eliasgutierrez6789]

how does that work?

[@WayywayyH]

That's cool, but kind of expensive for something you can do fairly easily with a high lift jack and a jeep.

[@o3djeeps]

Yep... it's all relative. It also depends on how often you plan to do this... I wouldn't want to use the hi-lift method to break down 6 tires at a time (which is actually what we did during this video). Four were to remove TPMS sensors.. and 2 were to swap tires on wheels.

[@bjre.wa.8681]

Careful now, don't get TOO Much soapy water on those wheels.I drown my wheels with soapy water and then use Murphys tire mounting compound (soap) I used to own A Coats rim clamp spinner and didn't like it and sold it and bought the Harbor freight manual one also bought some good tire irons and spoons and duck bill hammers. done a lot of tires manually and don't tear up the beads either.

[@rockkirby9979]

I take to firestone drink cold water...and cut the boyz loose...my time is to valuble to do truck tires....but still do may harley..new tire on 16 rim is e.nough for me

[@CurlyQLink]

You can make one your self for less than $50. That's a $200 savings off the $250 price.

[@jagdishmalviyjagdishmalviy1472]

Price sir

[@uawsux]

can i get a frer trial....

[@wheelie63]

the soap is for mounting...........not necessarily bead breaking........

[@chetbales3962]

you know how many tires and wheels you can get broke down for $250.00, and not have broken tire sensors?

[@Gary_in_NoVA]

My local NTB labor rate is $148/hr and they quoted me 2.2 hrs to break the bead and replace 4 TPMS sensors that I provided. This $250 tool was worth it.

too expensive. I use a long bolt and 2 pieces of 2X4... pretty much free stuff around the shop... at least for a DIY non professional... I suppose if I did it for a living it would be worth it.

[@patrickhoyle8357]

No way on earth would you be able to push that in with your hand before screwing it up. Those ballon tyres are not a good trial for that tool . The force required to penetrate between the rim and the tyre is immense. If you don't believe me watch a geniune guy on KZbin ' sixtyfiveford ' using his homemade bead breaker. You have to belt them with a sledgehammer to get them to bite into the join. Your demonstration is not a fair representation of the real world, in the real world the tyre is practically welded to the rim. I have used bead breakers and such as you have used and they do not last 5 mins.
