SO GOOD.. Been watching a lot of your videos. you're probably a hell of a lot younger than me but you remind me of my dad.. nothing he couldn't or wouldn't do or fix and of course i was forced to help... which has proven to be a blessing over the years.. cheers!

[@kentuckywindage222]

Awesome! I worked on semi trucks years ago. Changing out tires and wheels was part of every job. Chaining and caging the older ones. Inflating with starting fluid to lock the bead. Doing this from the 8th grade till sophomore of college. Like you, necessity made me come up with interesting tools and applications of some eye raising short cuts to otherwise hard roadside and garage mechanic work. "Necessity breeds ingenuity." Nice video. Keep'em coming!

[@andrewpanken1796]

What's the technique involving starting fluid to lock it?

[@kentuckywindage222]

Before I tell this I do not recommend doing it. There is a tool, tank with a burst outlet designed specifically for this job. Again do not do this unless an emergency. Doing so is at your own risk. You remove the valve core with a tool and place it where you can get quick access without losing or kick ing it. Have air hose close. Twist a piece of paper towel to a length.Then spray a light coating of starting fluid around the tire where it fits to rim completely around trailing off toward tread. Pitch starting fluid away a good distance. Light the paper towel a fire. Touch or toss it to the trail of starting fluid. It will flame and pop on very quickly with force. Quickly put air hose on tire. After you feel enough air is in tire grab your valve core and tool and replace it back in valve. This technique can be very violent and shocking even for those who are experienced. Using to much spray can be dangerous, not enough and it won't pop the bead on the rim. Doing less is better than to much. Again I don't recommend doing this.

[@akathelilguy13]

I really want to thank you for this video. I was having a problem getting the bead broken on two tires. Couldn’t really afford to go to a shop just to have them remove the tire for me. Last time it was $25 bucks and I’d rather do it myself if I can. I got out my welder and some scrap steel. First one had the bottom lip bend so I double up and the second try and boom. It worked. There’s a few videos out there that show you how to build one but no real close ups or details like your table views. Thanks a lot!

[@MrRmh3481]

Thank you for showing your work. Great fabrication! As Im watching your build, Im reflecting on my High School education. I graduated in 1976, and I was able to take 4 years of machine shop, fabrication technique and related skill application. What bothers me is our public schools today no longer teach these skills? Why?

[@sixtyfiveford]

Awesome, I'm glad you enjoy them. Cold can be the ultimate motivation killer.

[@oby-1607]

Just watched a 2 part video of some guys trying to break the bead on a tractor tire by using another tractor and driving over the tire. Probably after 30 tries, they finally got the bead broke. They need to watch your video and duplicate your invention. Many thanks for this video as I will be using it to make my life a little easier.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Some of these tires bond so good the rim, you'll never get them off without a tool like this. I used to drive over tires but it's too much work. I've ripped belts internally by kinking the steel belts and ruined good tires that I was trying to swap.

[@jksprecast2957]

I've been considering making one of those for over a year now. I've also had quite a few truckers asked me to make one for them. Your video compared to others is much more informative and helpful in making those. great work and I'll be looking forward to seeing some of your other videos. Ken

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. It has been coming in very handy.

Nice. I recently tried to take a 14" trailer tire off a rim by driving over it with a Toyota 4Runner. Wouldn't release - your comment about rubber + rust is so true. Had to go to the shop and get it done - $7. Loving your videos, proper problem solving. Important to me because I'm about to embark on a new life on a homestead and self sufficiency is key. Keep 'em coming, you der man!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks Man.

[@ridgerunner106]

Just use a bumper jack, hi lift, put tire under truck and jack the bead loose. I have gotten some bad ones loose with a jack. I have a bead breaker that you lay a tire in, but some old tires get the jack treatment. I always try the breaker first. Broke a couple yesterday, thought I was gonna use the jack, but they finally gave up. I always take a grinder and wire wheel, clean rim, spray paint bead area. That's worked best for me. But this tool he made is good for the bigger stuff. I have a skid steer available with forks. They will tilt down past vertical. A good squeeze from a log loader grapple will do it too. Out in the field, his breaker would be good.

[@theloniousm4337]

Good job showing how it works on a tire that hasn't been off the rim 3 times before filming.

[@gilgameshismist]

Works way better than I expected. Love the simplicity of the design.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks. I was surprised how easily it peeled the tire off.

[@stevanrose7439]

Two thumbs up 👍👍 on the bead braker tool. I have worked on inventing some kinda tool only to throw it in the iron pile after many hours of work. But that doesn’t stop me at 70 years old I’m still trying.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks.

[@kellyokamoto1604]

Love your ingenuity! Watching this made me smile. Wished I had the tools (and $$$) to tinker like this.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I have a rule that the tools need to pay for themselves by building more tools and saving me money.

[@peteranderson7044]

I've just made one of these with a few changes. I used a piece of M20 studding so, being significantly larger, it wasn't really worth putting it off centre. I welded the nut on the top of the, inner, male member so I didn't have to bother with the long retaining spring as it's a bit like a bench vice. Obviously, this means that the nut has to be turned anti clockwise to exert downward force but that doesn't really matter. It was a bit more work for me to make than the author as I don't have a plasma cutter. All the components were made from scrap or stuff I already had. Thanks sixtyfiveford for pointing me in the right direction!!!!!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

[@ed631941]

THANK YOU THANK YOU for showing how these really work.Most other videos just show thr guy slipping the tool on and not showing how you must bang the tool between the rim and bead to make it work. GOOD JOB

[@randybrill5071]

You got this down. Your work was well done. What I would want one for is a motorcycle tire. The older tires not the radio now days are easy but on my older gold wing tires are so stiff something like this is awesome. You put a lot of planning and work into this.

[@alm7707]

Great job!! I need that tool. I have changed 100s of tires in the last 45 years using a tire hammer or jack or whatever works, but this tool will work without taking the rim off the tractor. the inside bead was usually the hardest to break. I have seen bought bead breakers, but I always like things I can make myself

[@sixtyfiveford]

Hey Thanks.

[@ridgerunner106]

If you make your own, make that thumb a lot heavier. That way you can use it instead of hammering tool into rim. I think I'd build it with a little angle to it, to match angle of sidewall. Put a little curve in it like a rim, bevel it back a bit. I'm not being critical, but doing it on the tractor needs to be made easy as possible. Ask me how I know....

[@patriciacarr3308]

Love your videos! No nonsense and it’s fun to watch someone who’s clearly been around tools for a long time. ❤

Great design. Busted myself many a time with a pogo stick type bead breaker. That is so simple. May need to build one of those. Thanks for the ideas.

[@dogshouse1]

Great job on your version of the mechanical bead breaker! And finally, someone who understands that an OFFROAD tire can function just fine with all sorts of normally, for radial tires, ugly repairs. I hate it when someone throws away a tire, just because, some idiot at a tire shop , wants to sell them an expensive tire to get their commission. Or even worse, because it is "company policy" never to repair sidewalls.

[@randyschmittou8708]

Great video! I learned from an old Mobile Tire Man to use soapy water for taking them apart and he would use gas for lube and to help the rubber to stick to the rim when airing them up. I am not talking about lighting the gas like you would with either.

I've had to use heavy machinery to break beads with mixed results. This was the easiest, I've ever busted a stuck bead.

[@scottlouis7785]

As a young man I worked in a tire shop& with the wedges we had at that time plus a heavy sledge hammer I could knock the beads down with a few licks. The wedges were made with curves to fit the wheels yet not injure the wheels or the beads. Your device looks good & should work, I like it but I`m an old man & still like my way although it takes a little finese

[@sixtyfiveford]

The original ways are generally some of the best.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

[@michaelszczys8316]

Been breaking down and changing car tires by hand since 1968 and have built numerous different tire breaker tools but never tried making one that clamps right on the rim. That one looks like it might be rough on aluminum wheels, you would have to pad it up. One thing I have found, that when you drive your pressing device all the way in it takes a ton more force to push the tire down

[@Handirifle]

Excellent video. I just finished a self taught lesson in frustration, trying to repair an atv tire that WILL NOT come off the rim. Ended up damaging the tire trying to pry the bead. My bead breaker on my tire machine could not phase it. I will have to build a bead breaker like you did. Thanks for the excellent works, and videos,

[@benmiller5015]

Man this just popped up. I'm pretty sure this was the first video I ever saw of yours back in 2018. I actually made one back then based off yours but I didn't have the angle or the tubing so I made all of it out of 1/4 inch plate. I never got to adding springs but the problem I had was when I did try to use it it bent the feet. I planned to just weld another piece of 1/4 on the existing feet to make it 1/2 just never got to it. It now sits around collecting rust. Just thought I'd throw this story in after rewatching the video that started it all. Take care moe

[@sixtyfiveford]

That's awesome. The feet on mine have bent a little over the uses but not bad. There's been a few times I would have never gotten tires off without it.

Very well done. For these situations where you want structural tubes to fit together nicely the Harbor Freight receiver tube works very good. A 2 X 2 tube of any wall thickness fits into the receiver tube with just the correct clearance just like any hitch. And they only cost about $15 for an 18 inch length.

Fence post rammer+3" jackhammer or brick chisel+scaffolding bar+good sense of balance=the actual on site tool and skills a real tyre shop brings to a town tractor puncher party. The bigger the rammer, the bigger bead broken and it's still a post rammer for the rest of the time.

It saved my butt today with this tire. Now I can go back to the original goal of fixing this flat tire.

[@middlesiderrider]

I've worked on many vintage Honda ATCs and ATVs and changing the tires is always a nightmare. They're designed to fit the rim extremely tightly and after 40-50 years they're practically bonded into one piece. I usually use a hi lift jack to break beads, but many ATC tires resist even that. I'll have to see what I have for scrap steel and maybe I can build a crude version of your bead breaker. 👍

'Farm tool' as we call it is incredibly useful when you need to get a tire off the rim while still mounted to the equipment, especially the back bead. What you really needed in this particular instance was a duck bill hammer. A few good whacks at the correct angle would have unseated that bead no problem! (Just watch your shins!) Your home built tool is pretty dang awesome though.. good job on that!!

Cool idea , I made one a few years ago , way simpler !

Lay tire down by the hitch of your truck set it on the Beed next to rim and jack up the back of your truck . Works like a champ!

[@ghostridergale]

That’s a different design from the one I use to have. There was a plate with a threaded bolt in the center of the plate 1/4” steel plate and your wheel and tire sat on top of the plate with the bolt sticking up of course. Then there was a metal ring that went around the wheel and sat on top of the tire right on the bead. The metal rind had a bar across the top of the ring with a hole that the threaded bolt went thru. Then there was a huge wing nut type device that threaded on the bolt and you just screwed down this huge wing nut to break the beads. This specific bead breaker was designed to use on ATV wheels and it was great for that purpose. But I have often wanted to take the same design to a larger scale to use it on larger rims. Once I hired a Wielder to make me several of these, but instead of a round circle Iwas wanting to do a octagon frame that would sit over a rim and I figured that still be enough to break a tire bees? Only the person I hired apparent couldn’t make a perfect octagon if his life depended on it and naturally without a perfect octagon the metal ring would not go over the rim of the wheel. Kind of upset me since these were supposed to be Christmas presents for all my friends and after seeing this mess I couldn’t use I left it all sitting on the Wielder’s table and walked out the door. Being a woodworker myself and having to make octagons or even hexagons now and then isn’t that hard for me anyway. Guess not as easy for some though I found out!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Very interesting design.

[@mattchilders3123]

I made one that looks like the one's you buy so I could change my tractor tires. I like yours a little better (simpler). I would put a a 45 degree angle on the part that draws/holds (finger?) the breaker into the bead. Then when you torque down on it will draw it into the bead and you don't have to use a hammer to drive it in. Great job Moe.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I decided to put the bolt at a 90° as I thought it may help in some tighter situations? Being the first time used it I noticed it helps to use this to pull the foot under. I thought I would be able to do this by simply hammering, but the rubber seams to kick it back out without the the use of the finger.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thats a cool build and a much better idea than an idea I seen where you use a bottle jack under your truck hitch to break the tire bead. All I ended up doing was lifting my truck off the ground. HAHA

[@sixtyfiveford]

I've done the bumper jack under the truck trick a bunch of times, only to be left with a lifted up truck. This should save me a lot of hassle in the future.

[@RK-kn1ud]

You're probably well aware of this by now, but I think the problem with driving over the tire like you were was that you need to be really close the the bead/tire interface. I think that if you had cut the end of a 2x6 to the radius of the wheel and placed it at the bead and driven up the board, you would have had been successful. That said, I've learned that there's 100 ways to break a bead...a screw powered bead breaker is probably the easiest way to do it because you don't even have to remove the wheel from the vehicle! Great for doing TPMS sensors.

What's nice about your tool is you can throw it up on a shelf or in your toolbox when not using it, I built one that attaches to a floor jack, it works great but it's big and I'm always tripping over it when it falls over plus when you do use it you not only have the steel breaker to wrestle but you have the floor jack to wrestle with also, and neither will fit in your toolbox....good job.

Thanks. I've seen some great floor jack designed ones. As long as they work and get those stubborn beads off.

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Excellent work thanks. Often tires with calcium chloride in them rust behind bead making it almost impossible to break bead. Had a full size backhoe bucket tooth barely broke bead.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks. It's been working out very well on the stubborn beads.

[@charlierosene1117]

Having a back hoe for stuff like this too, makes me feel how lucky I really am. I like his build though!!

[@garymucher9590]

Nice idea and design. But you must have tons of tires that need broken down to make such a tool. I can't remember the last time I broke a tire and rim apart. I know I did for our ATVs but that was a Harbor Freight bead breaker that we used... Thumbs Up!

[@sixtyfiveford]

It makes breaking beads so much nicer. I will still use my manual breaker on small car tires but anything over that and this is coming out.

[@allanlavallee7171]

You my friend are a master tinkerer. Nice build.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Hey Thanks. This is one of my favorite tools. It has saved me tons of time and aggravation.

[@petemiller519]

Awesome video, keep the shinny side up! Cheers.

[@fordx4n]

Your bead breaker works great! it also looks more heavy duty than the one on amazon! I'm going to have to try to make one. Thanks for posting this!

[@sixtyfiveford]

I've been wanting to build this for a few years; just been putting it off. I'm glad I did.

[@randallshular5362]

I really like that. Got some scrap steel laying around, gonna make one to replace my tractor tires. Thanks for sharing.

[@sixtyfiveford]

I love turning old steel into a working tool. Thanks, I hope you do.

[@jimh712]

I've changed car tires, tractor tires and truck tires for over 40 years... I've used slide hammers... They work good I don't like the sledge hammer style

[@joshwestebbe7323]

Duckbilled hammer works great

[@karelburger1080]

Great tool. Thanks for a video without electronic noise.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks. Electronic noise?

[@karelburger1080]

A lot of videos on KZbin have an attempt to music in the background, but it amounts to electronic noise.

[@mikroskosmos5315]

I was struggling to accomplish this until I discovered just putting a board into it and then driving up it. Simple.

[@opichocal]

I spent 2 hours on an atv Tire once and couldn't budge it. Took them to discount tire and they mounted all 4 for $20. Even the tire guy was cursing at it. I wish you were my neighbor

[@sixtyfiveford]

Those ATV tires can be a bear. I'll kick out my current neighbors!

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

I never had an issue breaking the bead... The issue is getting the tire OFF the wheel ... some of those sidewalls won't flex enough to flip over the wheel ..

@big leroy brown Shaving gel works great too as a lubricant. Very slippery stuff.
